The first step to success is to be willing to take action. You do not have to be great to get started but you have to get started to be Great..
The best definition I have come across is: "Success is the completion of anything intended." In other words success is finishing what you planned to do. Taking the necessary action to achieve it.
The above definition of success shines a light on failure and success. Make a plan and follow it and you will have succeeded. Make a plan and do not follow it and you will have failed.
This gives a yard stick for judging every day of our lives. We can say at the end of the day "I have failed" or "I have succeeded."
This may seem very obvious but it is amazing that only about 85% of the human race end up doing what they intended.
Success has a different meaning to different people. I asked several people what they thought success was. One person said that "Success is making loads of money." Another said that success is "Achieving your goals". Some one else said that success is "Fulfilling your potential".
Brian Tracy agrees with the connection between success and goals. He has said "Success is goals, and all else is commentary." Brian believes that people with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them.
Once a person has a clear written goal, there is more chance that a person will follow that through. by taking the necessary actions.
