Ever wonder why some people are successful and others aren’t? I do.
I’m not talking about lottery winners. I’m talking about people who work for it and make it, or even make it big.
The approach to the big 4 - 0 and beyond has me thinking about a lot of things, including areas that people look to me for guidance and support.
So, why do some people achieve what others only dream of?
First, let’s recognize that success means something very different to each one of us. Not everyone is looking to be a CEO or the next Oprah Winfrey.
Second, I think we can agree that those who achieve great things have a keen vision of what they’re trying to accomplish and where they’re going.
Next, regardless of the goal, the path to success is paved with a well thought out plan, which considers the best routes, bumps in the road, and alternatives. It also explores how to address weaknesses and challenges.
Finally, a real victory can only be achieved through dedication and hard work. Even though you may have some lucky breaks in life, you’re going to have to earn your success.
