There are 3 habits you have to have to succeed. And the negative of these 3 habits will lead to your failure every time. If you make excuses for yourself, if you don’t proactively work to develop yourself, and if you hang around negative and/or unethical people you will fail at anything and everything you try. It follows with the laws of success that you must take full responsibility for all your actions and inactions, you must consistently work to develop yourself, and you must associate with other successful people. n nLaw of success habit number one, take full responsibility. You can never control the actions others will or will not take, but you can always control your own actions. When things don’t work out the way you want them to realize you’ve earned the results you’ve gotten. So, if you want different results you will either have to take action or take different action to make that happen. nnLaw of success habit number two; proactively develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes you need to succeed. Knowledge and skills are the price of entry to success. Expert knowledge and skills increase your odds of success. But your attitudes will determine your ability to cash in on your knowledge and skills to succeed. If you’ve ever had to fire an employee you understand that you rarely have to fire someone because they lacked the skills and knowledge required for the job. Without the required skills and knowledge they can’t even get an interview. In almost every case it’s the attitudes and habits of the employee that caused you to have to ask them to find other employment. Your attitudes and habits will enable you to succeed or keep you from succeeding. The choice is yours. You can always change your attitudes if you make a conscientious choice to do so. nnLaw of success habit number three, you have to associate with other successful people. People who have negative attitudes and who lack integrity are not successful. You want to avoid these people at all costs. You don’t have to be mean about it, but you want to extricate yourself from any kind of relationship with these folks. No matter how positive you may think you are if you hang around negative people or dishonest people it will gradually rub off on you and destroy your chances of success. n nYou have a finite number of days between where you are now and game over. Don’t end up looking back at your life and wishing things had been different. Do the things you need to do now to get you where you want to be, so when your game is over you can look back and feel a sense of tremendous satisfaction and pleasure knowing you got what you wanted. Use the free success model to start your plan for success.n
