Everyone at least once asked themselves the question: “How to achieve success in life and career?” How do people achieve outstanding success in school, work, business, personal relationships and any other endeavor?

The answer to this question is that they have a special thinking, knowledge and most importantly - they act!

As one of the wise men very accurately noted, some people achieved success only because they began to strive for it before you. Everyone has a choice - to be successful or unsuccessful, rich or poor, happy or unhappy. And everyone makes their own choice throughout their lives!

In today’s article I want to give not just empty advice on how to achieve success in life, but clear ways/techniques successful people, with the help of which you will achieve everything you could not even dream of before.

These methods really helped me get started and achieve truly impressive results in a short period of time.

By the end of the article, you will be able to choose a specific method (strategy) that is right for you and begin to plan your life and achieve success!

So how can you become successful in life and achieve your goals?

Many of us do not have clear life goals and priorities. Often we cannot say “NO” to certain people and things. We don't know our strengths and weak sides. We do not control our energy and often scatter it aimlessly. We are constantly afraid of something.

The basis of success is the correct self-organization (self-government) And motivation. All success depends on this!

Self-organization (self-government) means competence, one’s personal and professional development, regardless of external circumstances. Part of self-organization is time management, or in simple words, time management.

Peter Drucker, perhaps one of the most prominent authors on self-management of the 20th century, said that we live in an era of unprecedented personal and professional opportunity.

However, these opportunities require taking responsibility for your development and personal maturity. On this subject, Peter Drucker says:

• You must become both a leader and a subordinate for yourself, in other words, on the one hand, you must be able to set the right goals and objectives, organize your time and, on the other hand, follow your plan and complete the intended tasks.
• Throughout your life, you must remain curious and productive.
• In order to do things well, you must maintain a deep awareness of yourself.
• You need to know what skills you have and where you can use them most effectively.

The ultimate goal of self-organization is for us to consciously take our daily work into your own hands.

This also includes: planning, organizing, motivating and goal setting.

To achieve success in life you should:

• better organize yourself
• plan your tasks,
• prioritize and of course,
• be always motivated.

Summarizing:
It is vital that you make the most effective decisions.

It would seem like such simple tips However, it is hard work. Scientists say: every day we take more than 20,000 solutions , most of them within a few seconds. It's quite difficult to imagine!

Especially in the process of work, we again and again find ourselves in situations in which we have to make decisions quickly. We find ourselves in this state, under pressure from lack of time, 60 percent of the time.

Start with one goal

How can you set your goals?

First steps:

• Yours target must be clearly determined.
  The path to achieving a goal is most often not easy. Therefore, you must set clear goals and be able to make decisions more spontaneously and improvise. Too strict planning does not allow this.
• Don't be a slave to your goal.
  It sounds harsh, but there are people who stubbornly stick to a goal once set, no matter what happens to them. It is worth admiring your perseverance if, when your life circumstances change, you are able to adjust your goals or abandon them altogether.
• Your passions spontaneously shape your goals.
  If you value something, stand behind it and, most importantly, love it, then you don’t need any other goals. In this case, you know exactly what you want to achieve.

Now let's move on to the main thing - strategies that will allow you to achieve success in life.

The Pareto principle, named after Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923), states that We achieve 80% of all results with 20% of our efforts . The remaining 20% ​​of the result requires as much as 80% of our effort.

In other words, we often spend a huge amount of our time and effort on things and deeds that don’t really produce any results.

This is illustrated in the following graph:

Bottom right square– this is actually nothing more than garbage. These tasks may not be completed. They are neither urgent nor important.

Lower upper square– these are unimportant but urgent tasks. These tasks should be delegated.

Tasks that in turn are not urgent, but important (bottom left) must be entered into the calendar and later executed step by step.

Remaining tasks in the upper left corner: urgent and important. They must be implemented immediately!

Of course, it would be pointless to develop such a coordinate system for every day. The purpose of this is to internalize this principle so that you can apply it intuitively.

Which method you choose to achieve your goal is your personal choice, the main thing is that it contributes as much as possible to achieving success.

4. Let's become successful and achieve our goals!

Gradually, step by step, we are moving towards success! So what is the difference between successful people and unsuccessful people?

5. Individual performance curve

People, like all other living beings, have an “internal clock” called biorhythms. Depending on the time of day, people are either active or relaxed.

The productivity of an individual, as a result, is not always the same throughout the day, but changes at regular intervals.

Successful activities require a high degree of concentration and activity. So important tasks should be performed during the periods in which they are most suitable - in terms of activity and effectiveness.

Therefore, it makes sense to know your performance curve and take it into account. To avoid a phase of low concentration while working, you should adjust your work schedule in accordance with your productivity curve.

There are 3 performance curves:

"average person""owls""larks".

5.1 Performance curve of the “average person”

It is suitable for most people.

Productivity is strongly felt in the morning and reaches its climax in the morning (8.00 to 11.00).

It decreases towards lunch and noon and increases again towards evening (18:00 - 20:00).

But the morning peak of productivity will no longer be achieved.

In order to use this performance curve, you must

• Schedule important work and meetings during the time of your highest level of productivity - morning
• Leave less important matters and routine work for the afternoon.

5.2 OWL performance curve

Do you fall asleep late, don’t want to get out of bed in the morning, have no appetite and are not particularly talkative?

Then you are probably a “evening person” whose performance curve is shifted back by 2 hours compared to the “average person”.

5.3 LARK performance curve

Are you often already tired by 21.00, but as soon as you wake up, you are already in a cheerful state and are immediately ready to act?

Then most likely you are a morning person.

Your performance curve is shifting from an ordinary person approximately 1 hour ahead.

In order to effectively use your performance curve, you must

• start your working day early,
• use the hour before your colleagues arrive to complete important work in silence,
• Perform routine work in the afternoon.

The chart below should help you understand the different performance curves more clearly:

Individual performance should be observed and noted over a long period of time.

Then you can build your personal performance curve and make it the basis of your daily work.

What tasks did I complete today and what did I achieve?

Things don't always go as easily as we would like. Therefore, you must stay motivated throughout the day.

Everyone, including top managers and highly qualified athletes, has experienced a lack of motivation. It is often tedious, boring, or difficult to follow your plan. This can seriously weaken motivation.

Motivation is a prerequisite for successful work. But how to motivate your reluctance, moreover, if you are at the bottom?

Become aware of your own motives and their meaning.

Motivation is often just a matter of having the right attitude.

Motivation and drive to achieve certain goals can only be achieved if you have a compelling reason to achieve this goal.

Only when a person understands the benefits of the goal and the actions associated with it, will he be able to motivate himself and work towards achieving the goals.

If a task seems strange to you in some way or you cannot understand its meaning, then you should question this task. Try to collect all possible information about the task being performed: Why do it? What will this give me? Do I need this?

Each person is individual. For one, a vacation with his family is a great happiness, another needs the applause of the audience, while the third lives only with his car.

The first step towards self-motivation is to understand what really motivates you.

What are your personal motivations for achieving your goal?

Only those who identify themselves with daily activities have greater intrinsic motivation and correspondingly, high level productivity.
Steve Rice, an American psychologist, found in one study (Rice profile) that there are 16 basic human needs:

Motive	Behavioral trait
Power	Influence, success, leadership
Independence	Freedom, Self-determination
Curiosity	Knowledge, truth, unknown
Confession	Social recognition, membership, positive self-esteem
Rule	Clarity, structure, stability, good organization
Collecting/ Accumulation	Property, accumulation of material wealth
Honor	Morals, principles, integrity of character
Idealism	Social justice, decency
Social connections	Friendship, camaraderie, sociability, humor
Family	Family life, own children
Status	Reputation, public opinion, rank, social status
Struggle	Competition, revenge, aggression
Love	Beauty, sexuality, erotica, aesthetics
Food	Feed, cook, drink, enjoy
Physical activity	Physical activity, fitness, body, sport
Calm	Relaxation, emotional security, satisfaction

The better you know yourself, the better you can control yourself!

Instructions

Be independent, strive not to depend on the lives and decisions of other people. Decide what you want to achieve, and not your family and other people around you. A situation where you live someone else's dreams will not turn you into a successful person; rather, on the contrary, it will provide the opposite outcome. Know yourself and your personal goals and work to create a concrete plan to achieve them that includes specific actions.

Don't limit your own development. Learn to think creatively, do not reject non-standard solutions. Constantly expand the list of your own skills and abilities by understanding the relevant sciences and taking specialized courses (but don’t spread yourself too thin - concentrate your efforts on the main thing). Try to use your own skills to benefit in achieving your global goal - or at least intermediate ones.

Develop self-confidence and remarkable determination. Without such qualities, achieving success is simply impossible. Make a list of your talents and skills, learn to admire them, believe that you are a unique, unique and significant person, and love yourself for it. Think about how your skills can help you achieve your most important life goals, and what you need to do to further develop them.

Don't be afraid of failure. A considerable number of those who are now rich and world-famous have encountered similar phenomena on their way - often more than once. The main thing that helped them move forward in life even in such seemingly unfavorable circumstances was their inflexibility of spirit. Rest assured that no streak of failure will be endless. Don't worry about failure one day. On the contrary, treat him as a cruel teacher who will only strengthen the strength of your spirit. Know how to draw the right lessons from everything that befalls you, and apply such knowledge to benefit your own goals.

Take responsibility for your own actions and words. Self-sufficient and successful individuals are fully endowed with this quality. They admit that sometimes they make mistakes and do not blame them on others. Be prepared for any outcome, including the consequences of your own wrong actions. To make fewer mistakes of this kind, learn to think sensibly and soberly. Become the master of your own emotions without being led by any of them.

Work hard to achieve success, but don't make your life just about work. Keep your body healthy, not just your mind. Focus on a healthy diet in your diet, don’t hesitate physical exercise, leave enough hours for sleep and other moments of rest. In order to have time to cope with the tasks necessary to achieve success, learn to plan correctly own time, focusing on the main matters and paying attention to secondary ones on a residual basis.

Every person wants to be successful. Success brings people self-satisfaction, increases self-esteem, and fills life with meaning. Everyone has their own concept of success. One dreams of creating his own company, the other dreams of being best wife and mother, the third - to get a position in the government apparatus.

It doesn’t matter what the goal is, the path to success is the same for everyone. There are specific rules, steps, steps that will lead to the success that you want.

What does success look like?

Personal qualities of a successful person

A person who is able to self-actualize, or otherwise achieve a goal, is considered successful and enjoys his own life.

A successful person lives own life, goes his own way, sets goals and achieves their implementation. No one will say that this path is easy - it requires constant movement, growth, and work. It is impossible to avoid difficulties, troubles, disapproval - it is important not to give up and move on.

There is one immutable truth for everyone: every person can achieve success. What is needed for this?

There are qualities that lead to achieving your goals:

• self confidence;
• hard work;
• optimism;
• perseverance;
• durability;
• positive thinking.

Psychologists say: if a person has at least 2 qualities from the list, he is able to achieve anything.

It is advisable to think positively and avoid thoughts that slow down your progress.

What thoughts hinder growth?

"I must". No one owes anyone anything - everything a person does, he does for himself and of his own free will, even if in order to achieve a goal he has to limit himself in something or give up something.

"I can not do it". It’s always worth trying; if it doesn’t work right away, you can collect information, learn, ask for advice, etc. The second or third attempt will be successful.

"I do not want anything". The absence of positive desires and goals is a path to nowhere. Wishing and striving are the first steps to achieving success.

"Everything as usual; nothing new". Life changes every moment, even against our wishes. Why not try to change it on your own?

Listen to your heart.

Doesn't it sound like a fairy tale? However, all successful people claim that they achieved success by doing what they love, to which they devote themselves without reserve.

Only by doing what your heart is in can you achieve heights.

Michael Jordan

"Success comes when a person loves something and does everything with true passion."

Take action.

It doesn’t matter what or how to do, it’s important not to lie on the couch. Start small. Master a business that you have long wanted to learn, do something you have long dreamed of or something you have been putting off for a long time. A Chinese proverb says: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.”

Don't drown in the past.

You need to forget about past failures, grievances and mistakes and move forward without looking back. Louise Hay writes: “The starting point of strength is always in the present moment.” No matter how many failures there have been in the past, there is no need to be afraid of mistakes and failures.

Donald Trump

“There is no point in sitting on failure as if on ashes. Got new lesson, have learned it – and move on.”

Think positively.

Donald Trump

“Our own thoughts determine whether we stay afloat or remain in a quagmire of whining. It's not always possible to resist. That's life. Everyone falls, but you have to get up."

Believing in your abilities works wonders. Believe also that the whole world is on your side. As he says Louise Hay,

“Trust is an instant process, a leap into nowhere”/

Just believe that you are the darling of fate, whom she is ready to shower with all the blessings.

Don't be ungrateful - thank life for everything it gives: health, loved ones, beautiful weather, work, a new dawn. Every day, thank life for everything you have - and appreciate it.

What qualities and actions distinguish a successful person?

1. Self-sufficiency. A successful person does not depend on the opinions of others, he is the master of his own happiness. It doesn't matter what everyone around you thinks - self-esteem comes from within.

2. The ability to forgive. Forgiveness frees both the offender and the offended. The let go of resentment will not devour you from the inside, cultivating illnesses and complexes. But don’t forget anything - don’t give anyone a second chance to offend you.

3. The ability to conserve one’s strength. You shouldn’t waste yourself completely in a momentary struggle. Sometimes you can retreat and gain strength for the next battle.

4. The best is the enemy of the good. There is no need to be perfect; perfectionism leads to neuroses and chronic diseases. Do it the best you can. Next time it will be better.

5. Don't live in the past. The ability to part with the past, forgive others and yourself is a step towards a happy future.

6. The ability to get distracted. There is no need to live only by Business, Work. Successful Oleg Tinkov states: “Work to live, but not live to work.” You need to find time for yourself and for your loved ones.

7. The ability to say “no.” A successful person knows how to say no. Following other people's desires leads to failure, stress and depression.

8. Kindness. Fact: the more a person has achieved, the more friendly and polite he is to everyone. It doesn't matter what social status interlocutor - a successful person will be polite and humane. Anger is for losers.

Try to listen carefully and “hear” the interlocutor, do not interrupt and give the opportunity to speak. Be interested in the affairs and problems of others. Even if it is difficult at first, skill and sincerity will come with time. Try it, you will be surprised how many prospects the goodwill and participation of others will open up for you.

Owen Young (writer):

“A person who knows how to put himself in another’s place and accept his way of thinking need not worry about his future.”

Be kind to everyone, even during telephone conversations, and especially to loved ones.

9. Visual appeal. You don't have to look like a model, just be neat and well-groomed. It is difficult to believe in the success of a person who has unkempt clothes, dirty hair and sloppy nails.

Take care of yourself with pleasure, make an effort to please yourself first of all.

How to Succeed in Business

Successful businessmen openly share the secrets of their victories. Bill Gates developed and promotes own rules, which are being adopted by companies around the world.

1.Know your competitors. Gates begins every morning by studying competitors' websites.

2. The future is the Internet. Only companies that are online will remain in business.

3. Decisiveness and composure. Gates encourages people to face adversity with courage. It's easier to solve the problem by keeping a cool head.

4.You need to create Better conditions to work with your subordinates - this is the only way to achieve reciprocity.

Oleg Tinkov is of the opinion that one should work to live, and not vice versa. A successful businessman knows how to take a break from work and enjoy his life.

Sometimes it seems that work absorbs you completely and leaves not a minute to spare. You don't have to drown in work. Dale Carnegie advises:

“Do your business one drop per minute.”

Gradually the backlog of cases will dissolve. You don’t need to think about the whole mass of work, start with something. As they say, the eyes are afraid, but the hands do the work.

Successful people do what they love. Every person has a dream that, when realized, brings success. Walt Disney was considered a funny dreamer. I wonder who would want to laugh at him today?

It is important to set a goal and overcome laziness, apathy, and uncertainty. And every day, even if little by little, move towards your goal.

Everyone is capable of achieving success. It’s very easy to start the victorious path to happiness and well-being: listen to own desires and setting a goal is everything. Then you just need to go towards this goal every day. At the same time, enjoy every new day, don’t give up and don’t lose heart. And always maintain goodwill, love for others and yourself, and believe in your lucky star.

Everyone defines success differently. For some, being successful means making a fast career, conquering the heights of show business, while for others, success means family happiness, the birth of children, mutual understanding with a lover. Whatever interpretation of this concept a person chooses, the desire to achieve success will accompany him throughout his life.

And below are methods, skills, tips, recommendations on how to achieve success in life, which were put into practice by all people who became successful in one area or another of their lives.

Success is an ephemeral concept, so achieving it is not always possible. If you clearly define for yourself what exactly needs to be achieved, then it is much easier to develop an action plan. For example, not building a career in an enterprise is a vague goal, the achievement of which is difficult, but in a year becoming a senior manager is already a clear goal, to achieve which you can develop a specific plan.

Once a small goal is achieved, set yourself the next step. By moving from one level to another, you can successfully realize your career dreams.

Believe in yourself

Of course, everyone has doubts, especially if we're talking about about a completely new type of activity. Uncertainty about own strength, fear of making a mistake, excitement - these are completely natural feelings that accompany anyone who decides to make their dream come true. But you should fight them - constantly tell yourself: “I will succeed,” “I can do it.” This will allow you to feel confident in your abilities, and will also have an effect on other people: very often it is internal confidence that allows you to convince your opponent (manager, sponsor, business partner) to help implement your plan.

Constantly remind yourself of your own positive qualities, praise yourself for small victories and you will see that a major victory is just around the corner!

Perseverance

Only those who persistently strive for it can achieve success in life. Fatigue, laziness, the desire to give up everything and accept failure - these are the factors that nullify all the work. Only constant hard work, self-education, and discipline will help you become successful. Even a person endowed with talent needs to make efforts to achieve perfection, to become even better.

You must remember that every action, every deed brings you step by step closer to realizing your dreams. Why waste time pointlessly watching television series when there is so much interesting stuff in the world that you can learn about, so much knowledge that you can acquire. Every knowledge and skill you acquire makes you a little more successful.

Those who want to achieve their dreams on their own can use the following tips:

• work hard every day, don't let laziness put off making your dreams come true;
• rely only on yourself. Parents and friends will not always be able to come to the rescue;
• learn to enjoy what you do. For example, work can bring not only money, but also satisfaction; the main thing is to find several positive aspects in the work process. Perhaps today you managed to help a person, prove to him that you were right, come up with new project, learn something new - these are positive emotions;
• learn to manage others, convince them. It is not easy, but often it is the ability to prove your position that becomes the decisive factor in achieving success. Listen carefully to those people whose participation is necessary to realize your dream, analyze their actions and interests, look for weaknesses and use experience. Knowing what your immediate manager is interested in will help you become an interesting conversationalist for him, stand out from the team, without humiliating yourself.

Attention to details

There is not a single unimportant detail on the way to your dream - you must definitely take care of your appearance, try to dress with taste, since a neat appearance gives additional self-confidence. Communicate with successful people and listen to their advice, absorb their experience, this will help you avoid mistakes and mistakes.

Value your time

The human age is short, and the time that can be spent on making a dream come true is even shorter. That's why you can't waste a second of this invaluable resource. Every minute of time should be used profitably - when traveling on public transport, in queues, listen to a player or an e-book about business, learn a foreign language.

Dedicate as much free time as possible to self-education, become a literate, erudite person.
If you think about how much time is wasted watching TV, visiting social networks, commenting on photos, playing games! These time sinks need to be gotten rid of as quickly as possible.

Know how to rest

Another secret of success is a competent combination of work and rest. While striving for a goal, you can work hard and “burn out” after a couple of years without achieving what you want. You need to learn to relax, rest both body and soul. After leaving the office, be sure to switch from work problems, don’t think about them, rather enjoy the beauty of the world around you, take a walk, think about the beautiful, spend some time for yourself, communicating with family or friends. Don’t think about work until the next day so you can start making your dreams come true with renewed vigor.

Anyone can achieve success, the main thing is not to give up, move towards your goal and believe in yourself!

And to finish, I would like to present to your attention a very useful video on the topic - how to achieve success in life?

Good luck and see you in the next article.

Psychologists note that success in life lies more in a person’s inner freedom, a sense of integrity and completeness, drive in the soul and heart, the opportunity to learn something new, to do what a person loves. Moreover, the material component does not in any way affect the feeling of happiness and success if a person is truly free. Psychologists and the mighty of the world this.

First of all, when reevaluating your life and changing it in better side a person needs to analyze what kind of people achieve success in life, as well as what the concept of success in general is. The main conditions for achieving success are the presence of energy, great desire and goals. The rest can be achieved if you follow the recommendations and advice of experts.

Setting goals

The main indicators of a person’s success are internal drive and a sense of complete independence.

Expert opinion

Victor Brenz

Psychologist and self-development expert

Achieving success

If you look at the advice of great people who managed to rise from scratch to... high altitudes When achieving your goals, you can understand one simple rule - you can achieve success by starting from your true deepest desires.

2. At the planning stage, it is important to analyze your life and priorities, weeding out everything imaginary and unreal that only imitates the feeling of freedom, drive and happiness.
3. Next, a person must sensibly weigh all formulated desires and goals with his physical, intellectual and financial capabilities.
4. At the stage of planning and searching for ways to solve assigned problems, a person must set small and global goals in such an order that one solved problem moves the person closer to the main large-scale task.
5. Next, each goal must be realized step by step, while not forgetting to enjoy the taste of desire and receiving it.

As soon as all the established tasks and major goals are implemented according to a clear plan, you need to reward yourself for achieving the first goals, this could be rest or entertainment. Then, following the same routine, you can gradually set new goals, further improving yourself. The advice of psychologists boils down to the fact that in no case should you focus on just one goal, setting new boundaries and possibilities for yourself.

Only positive thoughts and composure

Another important condition How to achieve success in life is self-hypnosis, since only a positive attitude, faith in yourself and your strengths will be an excellent impetus for action. Psychologists note that self-hypnosis is the only key to your subconscious. Every thought in a person’s head is the key to a psycho-emotional background, so it is important to get rid of any negative emotions, fears, anxiety, lack of self-confidence and doubt.

Do you consider yourself a successful person?

YesNo

You can create a vision board, depicting yourself as what a person wants to become as a result of working on himself.

Don't be afraid of troubles

The advice of a psychologist will be an indispensable help in cases where a person encounters troubles and failures on the way to achieving goals. No one is immune from crises, wrong decisions and difficulties; many great and successful individuals went through difficult times and periods in life. For example, the inventor of the light bulb Thomas Edison said that genius requires only 1% inspiration, but 99% perspiration.

Any failure must be treated with special enthusiasm, perceiving it not as a fact of incorrect actions, but rather as a source of experience and knowledge, an impetus for a new path to achieve the goals. Any obstacles must be mentally and practically transformed into opportunities, since there are no difficulties in life from which there is no way out.

Films about success

An excellent source of inspiration can be films or a book about how you can achieve any, even seemingly unrealistic, goals and objectives. The top list of the best films about successful people and their ups and downs includes the following films:
