10 Success Strategies

The following suggestions relate to maintaining integrity.  Integrity is being honest and reliable, never taking advantage of others, acting with kindness, and giving unselfishly.  Upholding these practices and your own values will create results!

1. Make a commitment Your first step to success is to
    commit to action, then get up and do something!

2. Discover your passion Recognize what excites you. Then
    try to include that passion in what you do every day.

3. Create a lofty vision for yourself You’ll never get ahead if     you have no vision of what you want your life to be like.

4. Work from a position of power If you accept 100%    
    responsibility for everything in your life, the power is yours.

5. Move towards things, not away Successful people move     towards what they want, not away from what they don’t    
    want.

6 Everyone has a story to tell Listen to a stranger’s story.    
   You will be humbled by their challenges, and inspired by    their accomplishments.

7. Network in every way you can Alone, you can only    
    accomplish so much. With someone else, your power    
    more than doubles.

8. Ask for help You won’t always get help, but it’s    
    guaranteed that you won’t get it if you don’t ask.

9. Eat the black jellybeans first Ever leave that black    
    jellybean until all the other yummy colors are gone? Black     jellybeans are like unpleasant things we don’t want to
    deal with in life. They cause stress and anxiety when we
    leave them for last or avoid them completely.

10.Distinguish yourself by being polite When you were little      and you said ‘please’ and ‘thank you," it endeared      everyone to you. Now is no different.
