Oh, Hi there! didn’t expect you would click and read more through the link provided but glad you’re here with me in this short sharing of thoughts on knowing THE SECRET OF GETTING AHEAD. So, did this quote sink in to you already?
If it did then well and good since from here on you’ll first need to list down your goals and evaluate each and everything on your list. Try to evaluate which is the most important target that you wanted to create in your life? [we’d like to break that overwhelmed feeling]
The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, then starting on the first one.
Mark Twain Tweet
Remember, that it will always be ONE STEP AT A TIME but it’s your duty to apply some pressure on YOUrself since it is YOUR timeline, no one else’s.
So here I am tipping of 7 key points to get you ahead from others
1. Big Dreams Might Seem Unreachable
Are you done with the exercise I gave with regards of listing down your goals?
When you start wondering what you want out of life, there are no limits, you can dream about anything. It’s very satisfactory to imagine once all of those are achieved, very encouraging as well along the way, and it will open to endless possibilities. But then, as reality sets in, you know those dreams are still far from seeing daylight. Then, you might start to feel like it’s impossible and unreachable.
That’s why it’s best to keep in mind to “Dream Big, but work small”. Break them down into achievable small tasks that are put together and little by little as you sow the seeds of your labor (small task), your dreams will bear their fruit or at the time of harvest.
“You shall sow your land for six years and gather in its yield, but on the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the needy of your people may eat; and whatever they leave the beast of the field may eat. You are to do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.” – Exodus 23:10-11
Dream all you want, but if you don’t start to do something to achieve those dreams, they will remain dreams forever.
2. Have a powerful mindset [Be so Good that they can’t ignore you]
They say that your mind is so powerful that you can invite good energy into yourself as a whole being, and this can allow you to focus on your intentions instead of your negative thoughts. This will help lessen your derail times in achieving your goals, but Hey! Don’t forget to take a break from time to time, Okay? Always give your best shot so people will remember you from what you’ve started.
3. Turn Complexity into Simplicity
Life might seem complex if you look at the big picture, an example is “Changing the world”. We all do have that kind of aim to change the world or save it from deteriorating due to climate changes but little do you know your little ways of recycling or simply reducing waste has a factor already. Don’t forget those little habits has a ripple effect and can be contagious to others (duplicating your good deeds). Our acts of little action can still have a big impact in the future. So that goes with your tasks in life, don’t let anyone stop you from reaching your dream. All you need to do is get started.
4. Strategies Are Pointless Without Productivity
Your listed dream will turn into plans, and it will narrow down to specific goals and DEADLINES to achieve them. If you happen to be halfway to success, that’s great! But with all our ideas, a lot of people comes up with awesome strategies to achieve their goals, but in reality, few of them actually is successful.
WORK ETHIC beats great strategists, if their strategies are not put to work. Some people have no plans but are extremely productive and they get what they want. That’s why GETTING STARTED is all about productivity (reiterated for so many times). Ask yourself, what have you achieved yesterday? And today? This week? The week after? This month? Get some numbers in, if you don’t like what you see, get those numbers up by producing.
5. Only by taking ACTION you know you’re right
How will you know if your ideas to achieve your dream is working if you don’t take any action? Sometimes we have to trust the process and learn what to tweak along the way. It is essential to execute and learn along the journey to know what is best strategy working and improve better productivity along the way. So the least you can do is get started and beef up your research of the latest trends. Just never give up if a plan fails. Work on and readjust to it, correct the mistakes and give it another try. By repeating this process, as many times as it takes, you can eventually reach success.
6. If You Start Executing, You're Ahead Of Most Competition
Each achiever takes his dreams and makes them happen. Most people are dreamers, few are achievers. Your competition sure is full of dreamers, but not many are achievers. Starting Now in doing little steps is already getting ahead of others. Like the simple post of your business, having a sale or two along the way. Simply executing the strategies that you’ve discovered and continuing doing good habits of work ethics, are indispensable things that make people achieve and become successful. They don’t require much from you on the latter part since they are actually simple to execute. But most people just underrate them or take them for granted, they don’t take the time to actually do them.
In Summary: List down your goals, prioritize your small task, execute them, learn and adjust the process, repeat and continue to innovate, Most especially never give up! But again, take a break and have a kitkat~ (kidding, but I’d love to have one) If this gave a bit inspiration maybe you can buy me a coffee from the link below and please feel free to follow my social media sites for contents like these.
