Book Description

STEPS OF JOURNEY TO SUCCESS What are the steps to success? Many people will say that it depends on your definition of success. However, a definition is not what you’re after. You know what you want, and you’re interested in hearing exactly how you can bring your dreams to fruition. Your primary problem is time and the demands of everyday life. For every person who delays their journey to success, there are bills to pay. Your invention goes uninvented, or your book remains unwritten because you have to pay the bills right here and now. Once you’re done working, it’s hard finding motivation to work more on your dream; you’re tired, and you just don’t feel like it. There is no one key to success—there are multiple keys to multiple doors, and multiple steps, each one leading to the next. Use the following steps to success to get started on your own success journey. You know you need to practice to excel at anything—your teachers, parents, and coaches drove this into you while you were growing up. But chances are they didn’t give you an accurate picture of right practice. After all, this is a discussion on how to actually achieve your dreams. Your dream isn’t to be mediocre or proficient; your dream is to really nail something to the wall with excellence, finality, and precision. Practice doing it the right way, and practice it that way again and again. Point is that how you practice is more important than how much you practice. He provides some valuable tips on training yourself to succeed. Determine the correct way and practice it repeatedly. Practice the most important, effective things most. The 80/20 rule says 20 percent of right practice yields 80 percent of results. Through repetition, engrain the activity so deep that you barely have to think about it later. Repeat until you are able to think creatively while performing rote tasks. Each time you practice, set an objective first — to make it “manageable and measurable.” Concentrate on what you’re already good at and keep practicing it. If you do something wrong, correct it by going back and doing the right way repeatedly. To practice to perfection, it helps a great deal to have someone providing feedback. If you don’t have a mentor or coach, consult the information readily available in libraries and online. Try deliberate practice too, it will help you pick up something quickly.
