2. WHAT IS SUCCESS?
Before we even talk about success, we need to
define and understand what success is!
Every person I talk to has a different definition of
success. Therefore there is no right or wrong, or
textbook definition of success.
Success is what you want from life. It is what will
fulfil you and what will make you happy.
However, for me there is a "shallow" definition of
success and a more "profound" definition of
success.
Let me give you an example:
If I ask some one who has a shallow view of
success, what they define as success they will
probably say "more money." So why is that
shallow? Because we don't know how much more,
why they want the money, how they will help
others etc.
Think of the many celebs who have so much
money but are unhappy. They just don’t know
what to do with all the money!
Therefore I think we need to explore why the
person wants more money.
I guess you are wondering what my definition of
success is?
"To have enough money to provide a good
standard of living for me and my family which will
allow me to do what I want in life and not have to
worry. I also want to be able to help others when
and if they need help.”
Now I know what success for me is, I can start to
clarify the picture. I can begin to explore how I will
achieve this success.
So let’s continue and see how we can start to plan
and build the success we deserve.
Success in Life
Steps to becoming more successful
In this month’s issue I want to talk about how to lay the
foundations to be successful.
I am going to share with you some of the things that I have
learnt over the years!

"Success can be defined a 100
different ways. It is subjective to
you, but it must be defined in such a
way that it means something to you"

1. Define Your Success
Success is something that is as individual as
you! Every person will have a different
definition so you must write yours!
To help create your definition I ask that you
answer the following questions
★ What do I want?
What is success for you? Remember to
think a bit deeper than just money or love!
★ How do I define this success?
Detail out exactly how you will know when
you have become successful.
★ Why do I want this success?
This is a very important question! Without a
good why you may have difficulty getting
back up, if and when, you get knocked
down.
★ Who else is involved?
You can't achieve success by yourself so
who else is involved with helping you
achieving it? Also who will be affected by
your trying to achieve success?
★ What will you have to give up to get
success?
There is always something that has to be
given up. Time with family and friends?
Sports? Are you willing to give these things
up in order to get success?
2. Set Out How You Will Get There.
Now that you have answered the questions in
point 1, it is time to set out a plan on how you
will achieve your success.
★ Can you do it by working the current job you
are in?
★ Are you going to set up a business?
★ Are you going to become a writer?
3. Set Out Time Lines
You have to have a clear time line of when you
want to achieve this success by. You also need
to be able to break this time line down into
manageable goals.
If you try to become successful in one go it will
seem like an impossible task, so break things
down in steps.
★ In 6 months I want to be at this point
★ In 12 months at this point
★ In 2 years I want to be at this point
Grab A Coffee - Let's Plan

Key Take Aways For The Month
★ Define your success
★ Plan for your success
★ Let people know about the changes
★ Celebrate every milestone
★ Learn from any setbacks
★ You are 90% ahead of everyone else already!
4. Do Something Every Day.
Now that you have your 6 month goal, start to
work backwards and break down what needs to
be done each month, each week and each day
in order to achieve your goal.
Doing this will make your overall success goal
much more achievable.
5. Get Social.
One great way of achieving success is to get
social and tell people about the changes you
are making. People will be interested to see
your progress and now you will not want to let
them down!
6. Celebrate every bit of success
It is important to celebrate every milestone,
every small success you have as this will
motivate you to keep going. No matter how
small celebrate it. You can even just say "yeah
me," but make sure you do it!
7. Learn from setbacks.
Let me tell you the truth, along the way there
will be set backs. However, if you know that in
advance you will be able to tackle them.
Learn from everything happens, both the good
and the bad and let these setbacks make you
stronger!

5. USE YOUR PHONE
Your smart phone can be a great tool to use to
keep you on track when you are trying to achieve
success! You probably always have it to hand and
can use it to jot down a note or even record an
idea!
START TO JOURNAL
I have found that keeping a journal is something
that has helped me a lot. Now I don't mean a
blog, or just writing dear journal. I mean using a
specialised book that will help you assess how your
day has been, what successes you had and what
challenged you.
This allows you to see how your weeks and months
are progressing and how you are making changes
in your life.
Recently I was in Chicago and picked up this
amazing book which has completely changed my
lifeI have included a link to it in the Best of the
web section
GET MOTIVATED EACH DAY
Another thing you need is constant motivation
each day. You need to surround yourself with
positive thoughts. I used to start my days with
watching or reading the news. Oh man that sets
you up with so much negative information.
Now I get up and while having my coffee I read the
daily inspiration from this excellent book
CREATE A DREAMBOARD
This is something I knew about but saw a lot when
I was in the States training recruitment
consultants. On nearly every desk they had a
dreamboard, sometimes called a vision board.
The idea is simple,, you take photos or cut out all
the things that you want in life, or that make you
happy and you put it on the board.
Since you are sitting at your desk for over 7 hours
a day you might as well look at something that will
motivate you. I created one with photos I had
taken and put it together in Apple Pages, although
you could use Word or any other word processor.

BUILDING THE BEST YOU
The first book I recommend you get your hands on
is a book that helps you record your successes and
challenges each day. I bought this on a recent trip
to Barnes and Noble in Chicago and have to say it
has been inspiring me ever since.
Basically each day you will record how your day
went, what wins you had, what challenged you and
more. This allows you to see your progress on a
daily basis. I was revising it the other day and saw
how well I have progressed since I started just
under two months ago.
Here is the Amazon link
YEAR TO SUCCESS
This is actually a book I have started to re-read. I
bought it about 7 years ago in Barnes and Noble
in upstate New York.
The premise is simple. Each day there is story, or
inspirational biography to read.
Some days you will need to answer questions, for
example about your general life purpose, and other
days you will be asked to reflect.
I use this every day, and read what I need to read
for that day while I have my morning coffee. I have
found that it is a great positive way to start off the
day.
You can check out the book here on Amazon
300 WRITING PROMPTS
This book I have found really useful as it gives you
300 ideas to write about! Some are personal
reflections, others are more like creative writing,
however all get you thinking.
I have found this book to be really helpful to get
me to reflect and to find focus.
You can check it out on Amazon here

improve on each video and indeed on each
newsletter.

to discuss? If I can I will either create a newsletter

THIS MONTHS VIDEO
In this months video I talk about success, and
what I believed success to be.
I explain my story and tell you what I thought
success was and why that success did not come
about and what I learnt.
Sometimes the definition of success you initially
thought was right for you was in fact not exactly
right! But through trial and error and many
setbacks I have been able to redefine what
success is with a lot more clarity.
