Rules For Success…
Today, as I was paging through my October 2009 issue of Selling Power magazine, I came across, “10 Rules For Success,” by Howard Rackover, that I found interesting and useful and wanted to pass along. Although I beleive the rules were geared for those in Sales, they can be used by anyone in all facets of life.
10 Rules For Success
- Believe that you have already succeeded before you even begin the task. (Act, dress, and speak the part.)
- Replace negative statements with positive phrases. (Make sure you practice this everyday—morning, or evening, or both.)
- Take responsibility for your actions and your life.
- Think positively about all of your accomplishments, no matter how small they may appear to others.
- Formulate a mission statement and keep it with you.
- Remember great stories of successful people and the difficulties they had in accomplishing their goals. (Helen Keller, Thomas Edison, etc.)
- When taking on a new project, ask yourself, “What is the worst that can happen?” (This should help you get going on your path.)
- Allow yourself to make mistakes. It is an essential growth component. (This is how we learn, and improve.)
- Strive to be the best you can, not the best there is.
- No one was born a great doctor, lawyer, or salesperson. (You have to work at it and you can choose success!)
Thanks for reading!
