Make a Commitment to Your Successby Eric Moldenhauer | on August 20, 2013 

Success is not something that comes easy.  Just because you have decided to take the

next step and become a business owner doesn’t mean things are going to be all fine

and dandy.  It takes dedication and perseverance in order to get the results that you

want.

 

What is Success?Well, this can mean a number of things to a lot of people.  For some, graduating high

school or college is defined as success.  For others, it may be getting their first job.  For

others, it may be finding the girl of their dreams.

But for those of you who are in the business world, success may mean something

completely different.  Maybe its getting the name of the business set in stone, getting

your doors officially opened or getting your first customer.

Or maybe its making your first sale, getting your first referral or coming up with your

first campaign.  But either way, you have to start somewhere.  But do you really know

what’s working now?

 

 See, that’s the thing – things change so quickly nowadays that sometimes we don’t

really know what’s working.  We like to think that our success is going to happen if we

simply do what others have done in the past.

And although that may be true to a certain extent, it’s not always the case.

 

Success Isn’t Easy?

Yes, if it was that easy, everyone would be doing it as they say.  But the reality is that

we need to be 100% committed to our business, no matter where you run it from.

Whether from home or in the “office”, we need to focus on what’s working now to make

our business successful.

But all too often, I see those who believe they are putting in enough time and effort into

their business, but in reality they aren’t.  But they jump from one thing to the next and

never really focus and that makes for a lack of success in most cases.

What we need to do is to stop wasting time on activities that are not producing results

for us.  We instead need to focus on getting together a plan of action that will help

create success in our business.

I was once there, so I know exactly how this feels.  I used to spend countless hours

doing things that I thought were going to bring me success and results in my business.

I knew that I was putting in enough time, but it just wasn’t working.

It wasn’t until I actually figured out what I needed to do that I started to see a change.

 

Rules of SuccessRules?  Yes, there are rules that can help dictate your success and also how quickly you

achieve it.  It took me a while to figure these out, but once I did, my success was

unstoppable!

So here it is:

- Raising your level of awareness

- Taking 100% responsibility for the outcome

- Choosing a plan of action over confusion

- Embracing risk

- Identifying and executing priorities

- Put what you learn into action and choose a role of leadership

- Bringing your value to the marketplace no matter how small the audience

- NEVER QUITTING
