We’re all familiar with the saying, “it’s the
little things that count”. In the same vein,
to be successful you have to pay attention
and consistently do seemingly little things
to achieve that goal.
Naijaloaded shares 7 small things to do if
you want to successful.
1. Focus More on Being Productive
It’s not enough to just be busy doing one
thing or the other. To be successful, you
must find ways to be productive in all
you do. Nothing you commit your time,
skills or knowledge to should be a waste.
Find ways to always get things done
efficiently and get tangible results from
it.
2. Focus on Always Being At Your Best
To be successful, you should live by this
mantra, “If it’s worth my time, it’s worth
my best.” Try to create a track record of
diligence and commitment for yourself
in whatever you do. Ultimately, this will
culminate in consistent excellence for
you, which is bound to eventually single
you out for good in your endeavours and
lead you to success. If you’re in doubt,
just give it a shot. Also, find, relate with
and hang around people who
complement your strengths and help
bring out the best in you.
3. Focus on Making Continuous
Improvement
Your best last year should not be your
best this year. Focus on continually
improving and expanding your
capabilities. Consistent improvement
secures your relevance in the scheme of
things, especially in the workplace. Take
a step at a time, with little
improvements and advancements here
and there, and before you know it you’ll
surprise even yourself.
4. Take Care of Your Body
You can hardly function at your best and
be successful, if your body and mind is
weak. Success is largely mental and your
body plays a vital role in helping you
achieve success, so you should never for
any reason neglect the two. It’s going to
be quite difficult for a sick or terminally
ill man or woman to be successful.
Besides, the point of striving for success
in the first place, is to actually enjoy it.
Pay attention to your mental and
physical health.
5. Live a Balanced Life
Success isn’t only measured by monetary
wealth. To be truly successful, you’ll
have to agree that vital aspects of your
life have to be at least be okay (if not
perfect). You should learn to balance
making money with living a healthy life
and paying attention to your family and
friends. You must put your life and
personal goals in perspective, and at
every point learn to give to Caesar what
is Caesar’s.
6. Be Positive and Responsible
Every time you want to be negative
about certain aspects of your life, sit
down and think of what it will cost you
to just be positive. Optimism and
positivity enhances your drive, which is
very essential for success in the first
place. One can hardly succeed without
drive. You should also be responsible
enough to take responsibility for your
success. No one can stop you from
succeeding if you are truly determined
to. Well, no one but yourself.
7. Be Focused and Consistent
Remember the saying, ‘Jack of all trades,
master of none’. Focus and consistency
are extremely vital ingredients for
success. Assess the five most successful
people in the world, there is one thing
they all have in common – a ‘niche’.
They’re all known for something. Being
focused and consistent helps you remain
patient and persistent when you need to
be. It also helps to enhance your
strengths and helps you overcome your
weaknesses. It saves you from
procrastination and helps you see
through your plans. Be focused and
consistent. It will go a long way for you.
