Becoming a Scuccessful Person

How can I achieve success anyway, you may ask. I believe that success is not a matter of doing, but a matter of  being. That’s right! If you want to be a person of success, first you have to be a person of value.

Being a person of success means influencing a certain number of people. That’s why is important to be a person of value: you can influence them positively or negatively.

But how you can become a person of value? I believe that here is the hard work. There are a few things you can do about it:

     1.     Spend time with persons you consider that they are persons of value

One of the most important thing in succeeding in life is your entourage. If your entourage drags you down guess where you will be going? That’s why is important to spend more time with people that pull you up, not drags you down.

     2.Read some good books

Reading books is a very popular (and very old) way of developing yourselves. Just grab some good books from famous writers. I suggest you to grab a book or two (if not all of them) from John Maxwell. He is a great motivational, self-development and leadership speaker. If you are interesting in business try Robert Kiyosaki. He has an revolutionary approach to business.

     3.     Think big

Thinking big can save you from mediocrity. People are mediocre because they don’t thing big (and, sadly, some don’t think at all). They would just think about their job, even cursing their bossed. They don’t think outside of their box. You may want to do this because it can save you from mediocrity. Don’t be afraid to even dream a little bit.

     4.     Invest in others

The best way to invest in yourself is to invest in others. The best way to add value to yourself is to add value to other people. What would have happened if guys like John Maxwell wouldn’t share with others what he had learned? They wouldn’t add value to us and they wouldn’t add value to themselves. Just think that a guy you added value to goes to his friends and tell them that you changed his way of thinking. Wouldn’t that add value to yourself. Now not only the guy, but also his friends know about you and they may ask you for some kind of advice and tell about you further to their families and their friends and so on. And now you get renowned. I believe that this is the most important: to add value to others. This is exactly what I am doing with this blog.

I hope that this helped you in changing your way of thinking.
