Now why did I think that being successful was going to happen instantly? I have learned a great deal of patience this year. I had the impression that I was going to be successful in a few months. Needless to say that I am on the path of success; it’s just going to take a little more time. Here are a few things to keep in mind while you are on the path of success.
1. The people that are the most successful are the ones that don’t give up. Have you heard the statement, “usually new businesses fail after one year?” Yes, this is because new business owners give up. The ones who don’t give up are the ones who stay in business. Many people do not realize how much time and effort it takes to build a business. If you continue to focus on your why and keep your passion alive, you will less likely want to give up your dream. Obstacles do appear, but it's up to you to keep pushing through.
2. Patience and effort is vital. There is no such thing as overnight success. Think about it, even a college degree takes a few years to complete. So does the launch of your business, or accomplishing your dreams or goals. Your success may be only one step away; therefore, practicing patience is important because you never know what is going to take you to the level of success you desire.
3. Fail and move forward. All successful people fail in their journey. Failure is a part of success. Once you have failed, you have the knowledge of what to do and what not to do. Failure is a lesson learned. As long as you fail and move forward, you are on the right path.
4. Keep reciting your “Why.” Your "why" will keep pushing you into the next level. Your "why" will help you push through your fears and doubts. If your "why" is in alignment with your goals and morals, you are less likely to give up.
The most important advice I want to leave you with is to keep your faith and put forth your greatest effort in all that you do. If you continue to strive for the best you will only become the best.
