Why The 5 Keys to Succeeding Unlock Real Growth

Success is a journey from Point A (where you are) to Point B (where you want to be). The keys to succeeding lie in having clarity, taking consistent action, adjusting your plan when needed, and persisting until the goal is achieved. With the right framework, the road to success feels less overwhelming and far more achievable.

I think Stephen Covey said it best, “begin with the end in mind.” Once you know where you want to go you can begin putting the pieces in place to get there. It’s simpler to plot out a plan when you can visualize the desired destination.

I know that’s very simplistic but it is a foundation for succeeding and anything that you strive to achieve in life. You must decide what you want then focus all of your attention on having it. You must commit to your vision and never back down.

“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.” ~ Vince Lombardi (considered the greatest football coach of all time)

Once you’re clear on what you want to accomplish, set some goals and make a plan. Achieving your goals should lead directly to the achievement of your desired results.

This process can take a while to accomplish. So understand that you may not get what you want instantly. but if you take action consistently overtime what you want will materialize. It’s inevitable if you take the apply the keys to success.

The 5 Keys to Succeeding Faster

Here’s 5 keys to succeeding that will help you collapse time frames and getting what you want quicker.

Key 1 – Clarity

Get crystal clear on what you want. Imagine it, see it is already done and write down what you see in your mind’s eye.

Clarity is the initial key to achievement in all that you do. The sooner you clarify your desires the quicker you'll begin moving towards what you want. Make clarity your first obsession. It is said that a person with no goals is destined to live a life fulfilling the goals of others who know exactly what they want you to do for them.

And remember this: their goals are seldom, if ever, set to primarily benefit you. A great example of this is the typical job. The boss give goals to the employees. These goals benefit the company first and foremost. Secondarily they benefit the workers. This arrangement is considered normal and excepted as a mutually beneficial relationship.

You need to establish your own vision for your life. Then you can fit that vision within a job or business which aligns with your chosen field of endeavor. Most people get this step backwards. They don't get a vision for their lives. Then they fit themselves into someone else's vision in order to get a paycheck. This path can easily lead down a road to unfulfillment.

You have control over this phase of success. But you must claim it. Create your vision. Map it out. Establish the objective that would bring you happiness if you fulfilled it.

Revisit that Vision every single day. Think about it always as already accomplished. See yourself as being successful already. Feel that success. Enjoy that success in your mind. This leads to the next step.

Key 2 – Action

Take Action Consistently. You need to be constantly moving forward. Consistent action gives you results that you can measure. Action also increases your belief. Action builds your dream, feeds your desire and brings about the steady attainment of your goal.

As you take action consistently you tell your mind and your body that you are serious and your desires really matter. increase your

The best way to maintain consistency and stay motivated is to set goals. You will multiply your results when you do. Click here to learn how to use goal setting to turn your vision into a weekly plan.

Goals give you keep you on track by giving you objectives to meet. Each time you hit a goal you take a step that brings you closer to what you want. As long as you focus on regularly hitting your goals you can rest assured you will be successful. Action taken on your goals is your ticket to high levels of achievement.

But there is more achievement than goals. The next key is your success resides in your ability to make adjustments.

Key 3 – Adjust

Make adjustments. Continue to make adjustments where warranted in order to refine your results and hit your target. So often the original plan that you made will need to change. Like the boxer Mike Tyson said, “everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.”

So never get married to a plan. Pay close attention to results and adjust accordingly.

Use results as feedback. Good or bad, results teach you a lot. Use them. Take steps to move you towards what you want. But when you experience set backs don't let the disappointment stop you. There's no need to feel like quitting. Instead take some time to reflect on the actions that you've taken and make adjustments to your plan.

It's your adjustments that will yield the positive results that you desire. It seems like you take one step forward and two steps back from time to time. But when you constantly adjust you gain experience. And those experiences add up over time. They are cumulative.

You can't learn by simply reading a book or hearing a person teach you something one time. Reading and learning from other people is necessary but you learn so much more from correcting your own mistakes.

Key 4 – Persist

You must remain persistent as you strive to get your goals. Although you’ll have set backs from time to time those setbacks are never permanent unless you stop.

So make a commitment from the start that you won’t stop until you hit your goals and accomplish what you set out to do.

Key 5 – Repeat

Be sure to set follow up goals. Once you hit one goal set another goal. Ideally you should continue to stack on successful endeavor on top of the previous success one.

Before you accomplish the current successful accomplishment that you’re striving for you should start entertaining the benefits of your next goal. This way you’re always getting better and improving in many areas of your life. Being a constant goal achiever helps you to have a life of fulfillment.

The Extra Key: Coaching

One of the best things you can do to collapse time frames while maintaining consistent results is to get a mentor. You can go further faster and in less time if you have a coach.

You need to have someone in your corner to spur you on. You also need someone to encourage you in difficult times.

It’s imperative that you have that person to give you sound advice when things get rough. A success coach sees things from a different point of view than you have. It’s also important that you are taking advice from someone who has experienced the success that you are striving to attain.

Find a coach.

In order to find the best coach for you do your due diligence. In order to understand the importance of having a success coach watch the video below.
