The Success Factors - Seek Advice Properly By Michael Oksa

The world is full of people willing to give unsolicited advice. Sadly, there are almost as many people willing to take that advice, without taking the time to do it correctly. Even though people ask for it, ironically, most people feel advice is worth what it costs - nothing. This is probably true in most cases.

There is a way around this. You could pay for advice, which can be a smart thing to do. For example, you would be smart to pay an attorney to get legal advice. Do you want to know the ultimate secret about seeking advice? It is very simple, but often overlooked. Here it is:

Ask the most qualified person for the right advice.

Don’t let the sheer simplicity of this statement trick you. It is very powerful, but also easy to overlook. This technique works in any part of your life - health, spiritual matters, business, finances, relationships, and so on. Whether it is professional or friendly advice, the idea remains the same.

Let’s say you are having some small problem with your spouse. Would it make sense to complain to a divorced friend and then ask them for their advice? Or, would it make more sense to seek the advice of a couple who has been happily married for many, many years? Obviously, if you want to have a successful marriage, the latter choice makes a lot more sense, yet people tend to be carefree in asking for and giving advice.

This applies in the professional realm as well. It is normal for people to hold certain occupations in high regard. People tend to value advice from people in these professions, even though they would not be any more qualified to give such advice. As mentioned above, it would make sense to ask an attorney for legal advice, but that does not automatically qualify them to tell you what stocks to buy or how to fix your car.

Here is some free advice that could actually be worth something. Starting right now, try to ask yourself this simple question before seeking any advice.

“What makes this person qualified to give me advice?”

Asking, and answering, this simple question will help you to focus on finding the best person to help you. It may take some time to find the right person to ask, but keep trying. Now, to be fair to others, when someone asks you for advice that you are less than qualified to give, let them know and try to steer them in the right direction.

The one caveat here is that if you are asking someone who is qualified, then you have to be willing to follow their advice. Perhaps this is why people are lax in seeking out the best source to get advice. Deep down they know if they get advice from a qualified person, there is an obligation to follow it. On the other hand, when they get advice from just anyone - they can readily ignore the advice by claiming the one giving it didn’t know what they were talking about.

While it’s easy to be carefree in seeking advice, it is more productive to seek it properly. Make it a habit to ask the right person for advice, follow that advice, and you will soon find your life improving in ways you never thought possible.

What You Must Know For Achieving Success By Brian Turk

Anyone who is anyone really wants to achieve success. Then why do very few people achieve such success? Well, it is because of one very important factor. This is known as people trying to hold you back from reaching your dreams and your true aspiration. You might say why would someone want to hold me back? The simple answer to that question is they are afraid of success themselves and don’t want to see you succeed and leave them behind.

See many people are afraid of true success and even the thought of success scares many people. This is why when you talk about achieving any type of success with these scared individuals they will instantly try to steer you away from it. It is a real shame that this happens, but it is the truth, and it occurs all of the time.

In order to achieve the pinnacle of success you need to do the following things. Don’t buy into someone telling you any different when it comes to what you want in life. You need to tune these negative thoughts and people out of your life if you want to achieve massive success in your life. I know that many of these people may be close friends, or even relatives. However, you can’t allow them to knock you off of your game plan. This is the key to stay on track and follow your dreams. Be nice about it, and tell them if they don’t have any positive or encouraging things to say about what you want in life, then don’t make any comments at all.

Sometimes avoiding negative thoughts from other people can be quite challenging. However, the more you do it, the easier it will be. Then when someone makes a negative comment about something that you want to do, it will be brushed off rather quickly. This my friend is the key to anyone’s success. Do what is right for you, and avoid any and all negative talk from people that try to bring you down.

In conclusion, most people are afraid of being successful, because there is work involved. They will try to do whatever they can to knock you off of your game, because they are insecure and afraid themselves. Don’t buy into this, and continue to pursue what you want in life. The more passionate and determined you are the quicker you will see true results of success in your life.

The Success Factors - Setting Small Goals By Michael Oksa

The success gurus often say things like, “Dream big!”, or, “Make goals so big that they motivate you to great things!” Well, that’s all fine if you already have a success mindset, but if you aren’t quite there yet, then you may not even have a concept of how big ‘big’ can be. In fact a goal that is too big may be discouraging at first, so much so that you never take those first necessary steps to success.

Here’s an eye-opener for you: You don’t have to make big goals.

The truth of the matter is that you can set goals of any size, as long as they move you forward. Heck! They don’t even have to move you forward in the beginning; they just have to get you moving.

If you think about it, big goals are often broken down into smaller ones anyway. The only difference is that you will be making the smaller ones without the larger ones in mind (not yet anyway).

Getting into the habit of setting goals, taking action, and achieving them is far more important than how big they are. After you do it a few times, you will find your goals grow as each minor success is achieved. However, it’s not fair for anyone to tell you to make goals so big that you never do anything due to a lack of belief in their possibility.

No, the right size is the one that spurs you to action. Don’t let anyone scoff at what they think are small dreams, because even they must admit that we all have to start from some where.

Overcome Your Blocks to More Success By Judith K Sherven

When you think of people who are living a fabulous life who comes to mind? Bill Gates? Meryl Streep? Some prince, princess, or high dignitary? Bill Gates is the richest man in the world and he is deeply involved in helping people around the world. That’s not only fabulous, that’s almost fabled.

But if you knew someone who was going about their life without fame, wealth, and public adulation, would you say that that person is living a fabulous life? For most people the answer would be “No.”

And that makes the lives of 99%-plus of the people alive at any time unfabulous. Are fame, wealth, and public adulation the only criteria for a fabulous life?

We think not.

What about:

** Being true to your deepest desire.
** Standing apart from the crowd. .
** Putting yourself on the line, which means you take big risks.
** Speaking your truth.

Anyone who can live according to those standards is truly living a fabulous life.

But we all know that, no matter our intentions, most people (including those who are successful) are confronted, almost daily, with obstacles to their own fulfillment.

Yes, there are external obstacles. But the obstacles that really matter, that are actually far more powerful, are the unconscious blocks and resistances that dictate what you can and cannot do and who you can be - no matter what you tell yourself consciously.

Those unconscious limits take many forms and dictate what you have internal permission to pursue and what is forbidden to you.

But there is one limit-maker that applies to everyone, no matter their status in the world, which can seriously prevent you from living your fabulous life. And that is your willingness and capacity, or not, to advance beyond your station..

By “station” we mean the extent to which you can envision yourself out in the world. Because when that vision is limited, then to that extent you impose your own restrictions on how far you can go toward self-discovery, self-acknowledgment, self-expression, and self-satisfaction.
You are not divine but human. You are not infinite nor eternal. So there will always be some measure of limitation to which you can envision yourself out in the world.

And, right now, what’s the extent to which your vision propels you forward toward a larger life? And, how is your vision currently limiting the way you are presently living?

To live a fabulous life is to step out beyond the extent to which you can envision yourself at any moment. Because when you do, you are in a moment of discovery, of daring, of hearty imagination as you realize and bring to life the rich gifts that exist within you.

No, you don’t have to be fabled to be fabulous. But you do have to be willing to step out. And step out again, and again. When you do, a truly fabulous life awaits you.

To help you overcome the unconscious blocks that have been holding you back, take advantage of these 7 tipshttp://www.fearofbeingfabulous.com

Judith Sherven (along with her husband) is a best-selling author of 5 book, clinical psychologist, and the creator of “Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous” and related programs.

How to Create a Success Team For Your Life By Laura C. Ege

I’ve heard it said that we are the composite of the five people we spend the most time with. There is probably some truth in that idea. The people in our inner circle have tremendous influence in our lives, whether we like it that way or not.

How many times have you excitedly shared an idea or dream or activity with someone only to be laughed at, ignored, trivialized, or told all the reasons it wasn’t going to work? Maybe this doesn’t bother you, but if you’re like most of us, this kind of negativity wears you down. Before you know it, the idea or dream slips away, the life in it painfully snuffed out. Your life floats away on the whims of the people in your life, keeping you stuck in the status quo or trapped in circumstances.

Trust me, embarking on a life adventure is tough enough without being surrounded by people who drag you down. You need people who see the best in you and believe the best of you always. You need people who can hold the vision for you when you’re losing your way in the midst of life’s frustrations. You need people who bring out the best in you and encourage you always to reach just a little higher and farther with your dreams.

The good news is this can be an intentional strategy for success in your life. You can handpick your inner team and purposefully design an alliance with each of these people that will radically support you in following your dreams.

Here are some things to consider as you begin to look at creating a success team for your life:
Purpose: What do you need from your success team? Are they advisors, coaches, cheerleaders, or partners in your adventure? Do they help you refine your vision and create an action plan? Do they keep you on track with your plan? Do they bring unique skills to the table that fit well as actual partners in your mission?

Qualities: What traits do you want the people on your team to possess? Do they have certain personality traits? Are they men? Women? Both? Do they bring specific experience, education, or skill sets?

Structure: Do you want to meet together as a team or with each person individually? How often will you meet? By phone or in-person or online? Will you meet for a set length of time (like six months) or is it open-ended?

Now you may be thinking, “oh, I could never ask anyone to do something like this!” Maybe it seems selfish or like an imposition. Newsflash…people (especially people who love and believe in you) really do want to help! Think of someone you really care about. Don’t you want to see them reach their dreams, and wouldn’t it be an honor if they asked you to help them get there? Give these people in your life the same chance.

Identify those people who will help you get where you want to go…whether as advisors, partners, or cheerleaders in the journey. Clarify how you would like to be supported by each person. You might also want to consider how you can give back to these people. And then design an alliance with each one that addresses what you both need from the relationship. Don’t be afraid to redesign the alliance as you go too if something isn’t fitting quite right for either of you.

Once you have your success team in place, cherish these people, respect them, lean into them, and grow with them. Your success could well depend on it!

Life coach Laura Ege helps women dust off their “forgotten dreams” and turn them into successful next life adventures filled with passion, purpose, inspiration, and impact in the world.
