Practice the seven secrets of business success. You can practice seven key activities to greatly increase your chances of great success in business and life.
Number one. Decide exactly what you want. Write it down and work on it every day. Believe in yourself and your ability to achieve whatever you wish. Have a positive mental mindset about everything you do in life, career, and business!
Number two. Review your goals each morning and each evening to determine the price you will have to pay to achieve your goals and then resolve to pay that price. Get started immediately.
Number three. Except 100 percent responsibility for your life and for everything you are or everything you will be, then say over and over to yourself. If it\’s to be, it\’s up to me.
Number four. Make a total commitment to your success. Burn your bridges. Never think of turning back. Keep reminding yourself. Failure is not an option.
Number five. Be willing to work hard, hard, hard, be willing to go the extra mile, and always do more than you are paid for. This is the key to success in your business.
Number six. Use your time well, every minute, every hour, and every day. Your time is all you have to sell. Keep focused on your highest value activities.
Number Seven. Back your plans with determination and persistence. Resolve in advance that you will never give up. Persistence is perhaps the most important quality you can develop to guarantee your eventual success.
