Learn The ABC of Success and What it Can Do For You!
Knowing the ABC of success will help you be one of those people who will be-do-have the success you've been seeking!
What you need to understand first is the definition of success - "The pursuit of a worthwhile goal and experiencing the joy that comes from it."
That being said, the ABC of success stand for:
- A for action
- B for belief
- C for consistency
If you're looking for optimal results, you must use all three ingredients in this formula of success. Only together can they bring you the life you want.
A From The ABC of Success: Action
If there's anything you need to be successful it's 'action'. Nothing happens unless you do something!
It's not even just about taking action. It's about taking action that matters.
For example, if you want to have a healthy body, you can either:
Read books on health (theoretical)
or
Go exercise (practical)
Which action will take you closer towards the goal of having a healthy body? Answer: Both!
Doing both is ideal. Unfortunately too many people either do one or the other.
For ideal results, you want to focus on both for a period of time (which is why I recommend doing a 90-day plan that provides both!).
B from The ABC of Success: Belief
For you to be successful in the real world, you must first believe that you can be successful in your mind.
By believing that you can become who you wish to become in your mind, you can more likely become that person in the real world too because your mind can't tell the difference between what is real and imaginary!
Warning: I'm not saying that you must believe that you are "entitled" to success. Valuable success only comes with hard work and going through a process (like a 90 day plan ) that will help you get what you want. Just believe that if you go through the process, you too will succeed.
It's like baking a cake: If you get the ingredients and a recipe (like a personal development plan) and put in the hard work, you'll bake a cake.
This mentality is powerful and different from believing that you are entitled to a cake without doing the work.
If you want to have what you want, you must first be and do. Hence the term "be do have" :) You must believe you will do get what you want, then do the work and finally you will have what it! Speaking of work...
C of ABC of success: Consistency
You must work consistently towards your goals. It's like watering a plant until it's grown: you must do it every day and then step by step!
If you put too much water on the plan, you will kill it.
If you don't put any water at all, it will die of thirst.
Warning! Consistent effort is not enough. You have to also look at the feedback from your efforts. If you're taking action but either something feels wrong or you haven't been making any progress for a big amount time, I'd recommend re-considering what you're doing!
This is especially true if others who have been doing the same thing have had certain results in that same period of time.
So consistency with awareness will take you where you want to go (with the willingness to change if you must!).
So there you have it. The ABC of success used consistently will take you where you want to go: consistent and deliberate action while believing that you'll succeed will take you to where you want to go.
Sounds simple enough, doesn't it? That's a roadblock as well: Success is simple and straightforward! Too many times people lead us to believe that success is complicated but it's just a question of having a "be-do-have" mindset and staying focused.
Now let's get moving! ;-)
