Achievers Secret

Achievers Secret

All are having only 24 hours of time in a day, why some are getting success and others are not?

There is a thin line difference in time investment and looking things. If you understand that, you will be part of the achievers group. Please read this article till the end to know the secret of it.

Since childhood we have known one thing that is; hard work brings success. It's not true, only work will not bring success. There are other factors involved.

To cook one curry! You need vegetables. You can't call vegetables itself as a curry. It requires spices, grains, chilly, coriander, curry leaves, salt, water, fire and so on. Now consider hard work in place of vegetables, salt in place of time management, self-discipline in place of chilly, water in place of communication, curry leaves in place of innovation, and spices in place of fire and so on.

If you cook curry without salt or chilly or any one main ingredient, it may not be 100%. It will satisfy your hunger and may not be delicious or healthy or complete. Similarly doing your work alone wouldn't bring success to you. Curry without curry leaves may not give that fragrance or attraction. To get success in any field, he/she must be an all-rounder.

You may have feelings like; I'm poor in communication or other things, but I'm very good at working. Is that enough to get success? No, you must work on the areas to improve where you are weak at.

Sachin Tendulkar served decades in cricket not because he is a best batsman. He served as a bowler, fielder, captain, and many roles. In fact, he brought victory to Indian cricket team by his best bowling and fielding’s also. You may say I'm not a Sachin Tendulkar, he is lucky. Remember, luck will never come and help you, it comes after your victory.

How will your problems help you?

Let me give my own examples. In my childhood I was a very shy person and used to be afraid to speak with others and strangers. Now I'm giving motivational sessions to the masses. During my studies I was very weak in computer programming language and used to mug up programs. Now I am able to build framework and suggest solutions or algorithms to the software products.

After my studies, I was struggling to get the job in software industry. Now I'm helping 100s of students to get job in IT/Corporate industry. I was suffering from frequent health issues like, ulcers, throat infection, cough and so on, now I am became health coach, helping many and cured chronic illnesses. I started business and failed heavily, now I'm doing business mentor job. I got many personal and professional issues in my life, now I become a life coach.

Why I have mentioned those many things about me, just to let you know, once upon a time; I was poor/weak in many areas. Now I have become a master in those areas. Reason: instead of thinking about my problems, I focused only on solutions and considered every problem as an opportunity and learning experience.

All my weaknesses or problems helped me to grow bigger and wiser. Every problem and disturbance made me put lots of efforts into learning and understanding more in that field. Now, my attitude towards problems is different. I welcome them with red carpet and with full heart, those are the only options for us to enhance our capacity, knowledge, and strength in our life.

How to become a master on one subject?

You have great potential to acquire any new skill or knowledge, this requires your planned efforts. Here is what Swami Vivekananda said about it:  Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is a way to success. 

If you are following the above guidelines as suggested; you can be a master on the subject which you want to be.

How to invest time in a meaningful way?

Above is the pictorial representation of the Circle of control and Circle of concerns. Choice is yours, in choosing which circle to ignore. If you invest a few hours every day in watching TV and other things which are in the outer circle, it directly affects your inner circle development.  So, invest most of your time on the inner circle than the outer circle. Circle of concerns are not in your control, if you spend thinking or speaking 3 to 4 hours every day about “Circle of concerns” it simply wastes your time. If you invest the same 3 to 4 hours on “Circle of control” it takes you to the next level in your chosen field.

What is self-ignorance? In my opinion it is ignoring the  inner circle and thinking or investing time on the outer circle. Be conscious of your time investment.

Power of GOAL

Power of GOAL

Unfortunately many people live life with no specific goals, whereas some people have goals but not specific. Let's see what is advantages of having specific goal?

Assume you are a skilled shooter and have bow and arrow in your hands. I will ask you to shoot. Where you will shoot? You can't shoot as I have not given any target/goal. Similarly having skills wouldn't help you, unless you have specific goal or targets set.

Goal without specification looks like this, you have bow and arrow and you are shooting at East side. What is the use of shooting towards East side when there is no right target set?

Goal should be like this: In the forest, once tiger decided to catch one specific deer (in group the group of deer) and runs towards that, if on the way any other deer comes closer to it, it will just ignore and move towards the targeted one, it's ready  to run additional kilometers to catch the deer,  and never compromises from the target and its goal.

Here is one of the Harvard Business school research:

In 1979 Harvard asked one specific question to MBA students. "Have you clearly written goals of your future and prepared any plans to achieve them?"

Only 3% students had written goals and had plans. 13% students had goals but not written. Other 84% had not set any goals and they were very much interested to enjoy holidays after academics.

After 10 years in 1989, researchers surveyed the same students. 13% who had goals and not written on papers were doing ordinary jobs, and earning two times greater than 84%. Whereas 3% who had clearly written goals were earning 10 times greater than the 97%

Above research clearly explains that one should always have clear and specific goals, not only goals, they have to write down them on a paper.

Let me give my own example, I decided to get a job in 2 months. I marked the end date in calendar and started looking at it and working towards it. I got the job before reaching end date or deadline. It’s not my only story, all of you look back and see, in your life; most of the achievements you have achieved when you set specific goal and target dates to it.

Why my goals is not becoming a reality?

Answer is you might be having goals, those goals may not be clear or specific, and you have not written on paper or you have doubt on your set goal or you are not working towards to achieve them.

Remember, one should have believable goals. You can't have a goal which you yourself can't believe in it. Example: I want to become a Prime Minister or President of the country. It's impossible because you set that goal but your core inner feelings says that it's not possible by you. Having these unbelievable goals and not having any goals are almost same.

Steps to set goals and achieve:

1. Have possible, believable and achievable goals.
2. Once you set goals, start doing research to achieving them, prepare plan, analyze about goal requirements and acquire skill set for that and work on those areas.
3. Once your goal requirements are clear, start working on them. Assume if your goal requires 10 different things you need to be master on, prioritize 10 things and work on one at a time. If one of requirement is too big? Break them into pieces and apply divide and conquer rule.
4. Identify and eliminate what negative actions or thought are blocking you to achieve your goal.
5. Stop blaming others, take all the responsibilities on your shoulders.
6. Forgive all the people who disturbed you in the past, invest the same energy towards your goals.
7. Believe that there is a solution for every problem and assume nothing stops you to achieve your goal.
8. Have good relationships with every member of your family and work environments.
9. Assume you have no limitations and have infinite energy to achieve your goals.
10. Set goals with target dates. For bigger goals, split and set the target dates and deadlines to achieve them.
11. Measure your goal and it's achievement like sports score board by tracking with percentage of accomplishment.
12. Have courage and believe that you have all capabilities to achieve your goal.
13. Question yourself who is preventing or what is preventing your goal achievement, find the preventing reasons and work towards to fix them.
14. Make learning is a habit, daily invest some dedicated time to learn on your subjects.
15. Set time to train, set time to perform and achieve your goals.
16. Practice reputedly and perform brilliantly.

[Reference Book: Goals. By-Brian Tracy]

Power of achieving goal using power of subconscious mind:

Education, Experience and Eligibility does not matter, only GOAL matters! If you want to achieve something, set believable goal and write down on the paper, and work towards it.

Each of us have about 60,000 thoughts on an average day. By writing out your desires and goals on a piece of paper, you send a red flag to your subconscious mind that these thoughts are far more important that the remaining 59,999 other ones. Your mind will then start to seek out all opportunities to realize your destiny like a guided missile. It is really a very scientific process. Most of us are simply not aware of it. [Reference Book: The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. By Robin S. Sharma]

Universe has everything, one who achieved is the one who have GOALS. In your city, check your neighbors or strangers whoever is settled in 30X40 house had GOALS of having 30X40 house, and who settled in 60X40 house had goals of having 60X40 house, similarly villas, and mansions and so on.
