I know that’s very simplistic but it is a foundation for succeeding and anything that you strive to achieve in life. You must decide what you want then focus all of your attention on having it. You must commit to your vision and never back down.

Once you’re clear on what you want to accomplish, set some goals and make a plan. Achieving your goals should lead directly to the achievement of your desired results.

This process can take a while to accomplish. So understand that you may not get what you want instantly. but if you take action consistently overtime what you want will materialize. It’s inevitable if you take the apply the keys to success.

Here’s 5 keys to succeeding that will help you collapse time frames and getting what you want quicker.

Number one. Clarity.

Get crystal clear on what you want. Imagine it, see it is already done and write down what you see in your mind’s eye.

Revisit that Vision every single day. Think about it always as already accomplished. See yourself as being successful already. Feel that success. Enjoy that success in your mind. This leads to the next step.

Number two. Action

Take Action Consistently. You need to be constantly moving forward. Consistent action gives you results that you can measure. It also increase is your belief and builds your dream, desire or goal.

As you take action consistently you tell your mind and your body that you are serious and it’s really matters.

Number three. Adjust

Make adjustments. Continue to make adjustments where warranted in order to refine your results and hit your target. So often the original plan that you made will need to change Like the boxer Mike Tyson said, “everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.”

So never get married to a plan. Pay close attention to results and adjust accordingly.

Number four. Persist.

You must remain persistent as you strive to get your goals. Although you’ll have set backs from time to time those setbacks are never permanent unless you stop.

So make a commitment from the start that you won’t stop until you hit your goals and accomplish what you set out to do.

Number five. Repeat

Be sure to set followup goals. Once you hit one goal set another goal. Ideally you should continue to stack on successful endeavor on top of the previous success one.

Before you accomplish the current successful accomplishment that you’re striving for you should start entertaining the benefits of your next goal. This way you’re always getting better and improving in many areas of your life. Being a constant goal achiever helps you to have a life of fulfillment.
