Achieve success: Luck can help you in life, but it is not everything. Certain attitudes and skills are very important for success. The richest people in the world are not the result of chance or fortune, but many of them have created their own destinies. They are the result of hard work and smart strategies. You may not want to be a millionaire, but if you aspire to financial freedom, these tips will help you.
1. Learn from your failures
Who does not risk, never wins? When you take risks, you always win, because when you don’t make money, you gain learning. Did you know that Coca-Cola only sold 25 bottles in its first year? He developed new strategies, and in the end, he found the secret of his success. It is important to develop resilience, that is, that ability that allows you to overcome crises and draw fruitful learning from them.
“Don’t be ashamed of your failures, learn from them and start over” Richard Branson
2. Work efficiently
The same working time, if productivity is increased, can give you higher income or an increase in your salary.
Do you feel that you are not well organized? Increase your focus on what is important, and develop practical resources that optimize your work processes to achieve more in less time.
Learn from Bill Gates, who works with 3 computer screens, to be able to cover more tasks in less time.
Zuckerberg is another benchmark for efficiency because he has developed a series of practical protocols for his routines. For example, he has a set of clothes that he always wears, so he can focus on what he considers to be ‘less superfluous’.
3. Take care of your thoughts every day
We are not aware of the incredible influence that our way of seeing life has on the results we obtain. Surely you have ever noticed how a positive attitude has benefited you, both for making friends and for your professional success. When we are motivated, we are more attractive and at the same time, we are better able to see opportunities and come up with creative solutions.
“A rich and free future begins in your own mind. With your words, your thoughts, and your actions, every day without exception.” Robert Kiyosaki
4. Do not lose the global vision
What will your life be like in five years? When you are immersed in a life of payments, weekend plans, and daily tasks, you can lose your vision of the future, and this weakens you. Millionaires try to think and stop on a regular basis, so they can have more clarity in their minds and not lose perspective. This allows you to make strategic decisions about your own finances, in order to make an economic leap and bet on a better future. For example, if you decide to invest in property while you work, in the coming years you will have a salary and extra income.
“I insist on spending a lot of time, almost every day, sitting and thinking. This is not common in American business. I read and think, so I read more than I think, so I make fewer impulsive decisions than other people in business.” Warren Buffett
5. Make decisions
Fear often paralyzes us, because it is less risky to stay within the comfort zone. However, each decision makes us freer and more responsible. Life becomes more abundant the more we give ourselves to it, and Jeff Bezos knows it very well:
“I am going to hazard a prediction. When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection, you will tell yourself, just for yourself, the most personal version of your story. The most compact and meaningful narrative will be the number of decisions you have made. In the end, we are our decisions. Build a great story.”
