Episode D6.013 10 Ways of “Being” Successful

Show Objectives

• Today I’m going to share with you 10 Ways of “Being” Successful. 
• Not that you haven’t been successful, but because it is important to revisit success habits and tips as we get started on this transformation journey. 
• Transformational Leaders are people:
• Who want to make a difference,
• With people who make a difference, 
• Doing something that makes a difference, 
• At a time when it makes a difference. 

Key Issues
The key issue is people being intentional about success. 
Another key issue is developing resilience.

What You Need to Do
Law of Intentionality: Growth doesn’t just happen.  You must be intentional about your growth. 

1. Be Persistent. 

Four steps to persistence from Think & Grow Rich 

1. Have a definite purpose backed by a burning desire to know what you want. 
2. You must have a definite plan that is expressed in continuous action. 
3. Have a mind that is tightly closed to all negative influences and suggestions from relatives and friends. 
4. An alliance with people who will encourage and mentor you to follow thru with both your plan and purpose. 

2. Be Decisive

1. • Successful people make decisions quickly and on purpose and they seldom change that decision once made. 
   • Unsuccessful people make decisions slowly, they ask other people their opinion (trying to get an opinion poll) and once they make a decision if something goes wrong or appears to be failing they will change their decision or blame others. 

3. Be Faithful

1. • You must act on faith and not on evidence.  Faith is a verb(action word). 
   • You can’t wait for evidence that everything is safe and ready before you make your move. 
   • You have to take action before you are ready sometimes.  

4. Be Creative

1. • You will have to go places you have not been, meet people you don’t know, do things you have not done before. 
   • You will have to make investments in growth areas you have not grown in yet. 
   • You have to be creative to find yes people. And yes processes.  
   • You must find your own way, take decisive actions everyday in the direction of your dream and your purpose. 

 

1. Be Causative

1. • You will either live your life as an effect or live your life as a cause. 
   • You will either react or respond.  
   • Animals act on instinct, they have no creative ability, therefore they react to conditions and circumstances. 
   • Human beings are God’s highest creation, you do not have to wait on conditions and circumstances to change.  

 

1. Be a Visionary

1. • Your vision is the prophecy of what you will one day create. 
   • Your vision may not be seen by everyone else, that is why you need to have faith in your decision and in your vision. 

7. Be Disciplined 

1. • Discipline is being able to give yourself a command then follow through with it. 
   • Discipline gives you the focus of sustained thought so that you can be creative when seeking out opportunities. 

8. Be Willing

1. • To be successful in any undertaking you must be able to answer 2 questions:
     1. Am I able?  Do I have the Potential or capability?
     2. Am I willing?   Do I have the right attitude?

9. Be Open Minded

1. • Most people would say they are open minded, but what they really are is tolerant. 
   • They are NOT open minded to new ideas or new ways of doing things, they are tolerant. 
   • They are willing to listen, but that is not being open-minded. 

10. Be a Continual Learner

1. • To be a continual learner, you must be willing to make continual investments in yourself. 
   • In life you NEVER ARRIVE. 

Law of Contribution: Growing yourself enables you to grow others.

If you “BE” these 10 things, I will guarantee your success.
