One word for way to success

But that doesn’t mean exactly what you think it does.

As New York Times bestselling author Greg McKeown explains in his recent LinkedIn article: “When people speak of focus they usually mean having a single goal. It is a static thing, a thing you have.” Focus, in his words, becomes viewed as a noun.

On one hand, this works great because it gives you a clear, obvious objective to pursue, be it getting a raise, starting a company, or curing cancer. But if you’re putting all of your attentions on that one thing, you may not see other opportunities that come your way.

That’s why the ability to focus—as a verb—is just as important as having a focus. Using a fantastic example, McKeown explains: “Imagine if the moment you woke up this morning your eyes focused one time and then never adjusted again. You would be out of focus all day. Our eyes produce clarity through a perpetual process of adjustment.” In other words, to use focus as a path to success, you have to be constantly adjusting to what’s in front of you.

The solution? Bring the two together and concentrate on developing them simultaneously.

The author offers a few main ways to do this: by asking the right questions, by finding time to escape, and by really treating your time as valuable. Here’s a recap of his advice—plus some questions to ask yourself about how you can focus better.

1. Ask the Right Questions

Focusing means viewing your career on a larger landscape than just your to-do list or your current position and company. To do this, it helps to set aside time to regularly think ahead—to focus not just on where you are now, but on where you’d like to be in the future.

Ask Yourself

• Do I see myself at the same company two years from now?
• What professional goals do I still have from before I applied for this job?
• What makes me stand out as an invaluable employee?
• Why did my co-worker get that promotion over me?

2. Find Time to Escape

Before you dismiss this step and say, “but I’m too busy,” consider this: Even Bill Gates makes time in his schedule to step away from the noise and clutter of day-to-day life and focus on the bigger picture. “Twice a year, during the busiest and most frenetic time in the company’s history, he still created time and space to seclude himself for a week and do nothing but read articles (his record is 112) and books, study technology, and think about the bigger picture,” McKeown writes. “Whether you can invest two hours a day, two weeks a year, or even just five minutes every morning, it is important to make space to escape in your busy life.”

Ask Yourself

• Is it more beneficial to sit in on this meeting or spend an hour concentrating on personal writing?
• What article can I read that will spark my excitement about something new and interesting going on in my industry?
• When was the last time I took a moment out of the day to think about my goals?

3. Treat Your Time as Valuable

Perhaps the largest part of focusing is making sure that your schedule allows you to do so. Remind yourself that your time is extremely valuable and that you only have a certain amount of hours in each day to get things done—then find ways to step away from nonessential time-sucks that hold you back from your bigger goals.

Ask Yourself

• Should I be giving my personal number out to everyone?
• How often am I checking my email, and is that distracting me from real tasks?
• How much time out of every day should I commit to spending in meetings?
• Am I generally happy with how I’m spending my time?

These steps can help make sure your career is going exactly where you want it to go. If you find you’ve been running low on inspiration or commitment, take some time to really find your focus. Success is bound to follow.

How to be Successful

When some people hear “secret to success,” they think you have to have big-name connections. Others think it’s years and years of experience or high-level training. Still others assume it’s just dumb luck and lots of startup capital. 

If you know my story, you know I didn’t have any of these things when I was getting started. I was working from home and struggling big-time. So what made the difference?

I can tell you in one word what the secret to my success is.
And it might not be what you think.

In this video, I want to talk about the one thing that has made all the difference for me and continues to be the key to my long-term thriving.  

It’s not a fancy business “hack” … and it definitely doesn’t involve any kind of cutthroat zero-sum competition. In fact, it’s quite the opposite!

The best part? It doesn’t require anything other than a switch in mindset to start experiencing the benefits right away.

I love sharing this information, because I know it can really help people make a significant turnaround in how they see themselves, their work, and their path to success. I hope it will give you a new perspective on what can be possible in your business, one conversation at a time. 

As always, I’d love to hear from you. If you have follow-up questions or want to share your own experience, leave your comment below and let me know what you think!

You can discover the key to success in just one word. That word is connected. Here are seven ways connectedness drives your success.

Key to Success #1: Connected to a BIGG dream

All BIGG success begins with a BIGG dream. Little dreams don’t have the same ability to inspire as a large one.

Your dream is your destination. Where do you want to go? What do you want to accomplish? What do you want from your life, your career, and/or your business?

Your dream sets the direction. All else flows from it – from priorities to activities. It helps you know what to “Yes” to and when to say “No.”

Key to Success #2: Connected to your values

Your dream sets your direction. Your values determine your boundaries.

They keep you from straying off course. They insure you will be happy with the man or woman you see in the mirror.

Without boundaries, success comes with a void. With values intact, success is fulfilling.

Key to Success #3: Connected to the right fear

Fear holds many people back. It keeps them stuck in place.

However, there’s a “positive fear” which drives successful people. It’s the fear of not trying.

When you succumb to this fear, you simply have to go for it. It consumes you.

When your mind tries to conjure up all the negative fears, you fight back. It causes you great intestinal distress to even consider not giving your BIGG dream a shot.

Key to Success #4: Connected to perpetual action

Successful people have a penchant for action. Once they’ve defined what they want to do, they must act!

While others keep busy researching and analyzing, BIGG goal-getters are doing it. They realize you won’t ever know all you need to, but you’ll know more if you simply get started. This is especially true in today’s fast-changing, uncertain world.

Key to Success #5: Connected to results

Action isn’t enough. Actions must lead to results.

Most people spend much of their time on pleasant activities. Winners look for pleasing results.

It’s fun to reach out to a friend. It’s nerve-wracking to reach out to a new connection.

It’s fun to share a goofy video online. It’s hard to write a proposal.

Pleasant activities don’t cause any angst. Like an old shoe, they’re comfortable. They are risk-free.

Unfortunately, they trap you in the status quo. Pleasing results come from activities which may create some inner turmoil, but they bring you closer to your BIGG dream.

Key to Success #6: Connected to a deeper purpose

You often hear the mantra, “Follow your passion.” But passion isn’t enough.

You need to connect to a deeper purpose – a why. Why is it important for you to succeed? What difference will it make in your corner of the world?

Your purpose should be “practically emotional.” It should stir your soul as you picture the difference you will make for other people, if you can just reach your goal.

Your passion gets you started. Your purpose keeps you going.

Key to Success #7: Connected to the connected

Finally, you can’t do it alone. You need to connect to the connected.

By this we don’t just mean people who know people, although that’s important too. In this case, though, we’re really talking about connecting to people who are connected in the ways we’ve described above.

Like you, these are the people who are going somewhere. You can understand each other’s trials. You can appreciate each other’s successes.

Together, you can encourage each other to reach BIGG success!

They say that every person should have at least one motto for success. This article will help you find many to inspire you to climb the success ladder.

Each and every person has different ways to define success. For some, success is to earn a lot of money, some think that to be successful is to be powerful, for others success is nothing but contentment and happiness! No matter how different success is for us, the bottom line is, that we all crave for it. The word “crave” itself shows how badly one wants success. And once you are traveling on the road to success, things don’t go easy, there are a lot of stones on the way to make you stumble and go weak, but, focus, determination, and perseverance are the basic ingredients that make some of the most ideal mottos for success in ones life. There are many success quotes that we come across while reading or interacting with others, and they somehow, end up becoming an inspiration to us when traveling the road to success. These mottos actually help us stay on the track, they remind us that all the trials and tribulations are actually an assurance that you are surely to achieve success, if you just hang on!

Mottos That Inspire You Towards Success

The Bible quotes in Proverbs 15:4; “Gentle words bring life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.” Nothing can motivate us more than some inspiring and motivational words. It’s amazing if we have the support of our loved ones on the challenging journey to success. But sadly, this can’t be possible all the time. Many a time, you need to take up the journey and the challenge all by yourself. This can be difficult, but as I mentioned earlier, if you are focused, determined, and have perseverance, nothing is impossible. Having said that, it’s important to incorporate some mottos to live by so that you have a constant phrase echoing within your heart and mind, reminding you of what you have decided to be. Below are some inspiring yet effectively motivational mottos for you to remember that “success is yours to achieve“…

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes

“Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand.” ~ Bruce Barton

“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.” ~ Thomas J. Watson

“Health, happiness and success depend upon the fighting spirit of each person. The big thing is not what happens to us in life – but what we do about what happens to us.” ~ George Allen

“The successful person has the habit of doing the things failures don’t like to do. They don’t like doing them either necessarily. But their disliking is subordinated to the strength of their purpose.” ~ E.M. Gray

“Personal development is your springboard to personal excellence. Ongoing, continuous, non-stop personal development literally assures you that there is no limit to what you can accomplish.” ~ Brian Tracy

“You don’t become enormously successful without encountering and overcoming a number of extremely challenging problems.” ~ Mark Victor Hansen

“Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.” ~ Conrad Hilton

“The first requisite of success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem without growing weary.” ~ Thomas Edison

“You can do anything you wish to do, have anything you wish to have, be anything you wish to be.” ~ Robert Collier

“Laughter is a unique medicine that places your problems in perspective, relaxes your tense muscles, reassures those around you, and helps you to enjoy life even when you don’t have everything you want. A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.” ~ David Brinkley

“I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.” ~ Michael Jordan

“A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.” ~ Walter Gagehot

“Whenever you find the whole world against you just turn around and lead the world.” ~ Anonymous

“When they call something ‘worthless’, I think it’s not the person or the situation that is worthless. I think it means that worth is there, it’s just that the efforts are less.” ~ Shalu Bhatti

“In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.” ~ Bill Cosby

“The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it is the same problem you had last year.” ~ John Foster Dulles

“What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.” ~ Margaret Thatcher

“Keep these concepts in mind: You’ve failed many times, although you don’t remember. You fell down the first time you tried to walk. You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim. . . . Don’t worry about failure. My suggestion to each of you: Worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.” ~ Sherman Finesilver

“History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heart-breaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.” ~ B.C Forbes

“Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.” ~ William Feather

“Success is blocked by concentrating on it and planning for it… Success is shy – it won’t come out while you’re watching.” ~ Tennessee Williams

“Success has a simple formula: do your best, and people may like it.” ~ Sam Ewing

“A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.” ~ Bob Dylan

“Somehow I can’t believe there are many heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secret of making dreams come true. This special secret can be summarized in four C’s. They are: curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of these is confidence.” ~ Walt Disney

“I believe that the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master of that line.” ~ Andrew Carnegie

“Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.” ~ Dr. Joyce Brothers

If you develop an attitude to perceive things in a manner that helps you move on in the journey of success, the negative attitude will diminish giving room for you to see the positive in every failure you come across. It is this attitude that makes people say that “life is funny” and hence they tend to develop and follow some funny mottos about life. To want to be successful is an inevitable desire that will emerge within us sooner or later. Therefore, it is best to follow the mottos for success as soon as possible. As I have already mentioned earlier, the definition of success varies from person to person. It’s not only the important thing to you in your life that matters, but the journey to success will become more easy if you have a strong and never-give-up attitude. So make yourself so strong from within, that success follows you on its own. Now that I Sign off, I would like to quote this short and simple motto by Doug Ivester, “Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.“… and nothing can stop you from achieving your success by all means. All the best. 🙂

These success quotes will give you the words you need to accomplish your goals and fulfill your purpose.

The process of achieving success will be uncomfortable. It is a challenging journey that will often bring you down and test your will and attitude.

By just taking active steps toward your aspirations, you are not only getting closer to them but also helping to change you for the better.

After all, success is not the goal because it is a journey that will make you grow and mature on the way to your destination.
