The Lifestyle Success Formula
July 24th, 2009
This is the third in a three-part series focusing on the ultimate formula for success – in business and in accomplishing all your lifestyle goals.
In part one you were introduced to the two formulas that comprise business and goal setting success. In part two we looked at the specific formula for business success, and now in part three, we examine the lifestyle or goal achieving success formula.
By following a proven formula that works you can achieve a definite result, knowing without a doubt if you follow the formula success is assured.
Let’s look at the lifestyle success formula again and break each piece down in complete detail.
The Lifestyle Success Formula:
T + FO + FA + PA = Success
T is target; FO is focus; FA stands for faith; PA is persistent action and that equals success in any field or endeavor.
The formula written out looks like this:
Target + Focus + Faith + Persistent Action = Success
You must have all of these in place if you want to reach your goals, aspirations and true potential.
Let’s break it down further.
Target
Having a target or goal is the beginning of all achievement. If you don’t know what you want how do you expect to get anything.
Napoleon Hill was right on the money. This is the starting point of all riches. Set a goal, a target, some dream or purpose to pursue, and begin right now to make that dream a reality.
Know exactly what you want and nine times out of 10, you’ll get it.
Focus
We are controlled by our dominant thoughts. What you think about expands. So it stands to reason if your thoughts are junk, your life is junk.
No matter what you call it: sowing and reaping; cause and effect; the law of attraction; it is a real force that governs the universe.
To make use of it requires focus and concentration.
Since dominant thought becomes your reality doesn’t it make sense to focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want?
Faith
Faith or belief is next in line in the lifestyle success equation.
You must have confidence and a sincere belief that you will accomplish what you set out to achieve. Real faith is an assurance, an absolute belief, that what you want is coming to you right now – at this moment.
If you don’t believe you can achieve your goal, if you can’t see it in your minds eye as already accomplished, you’ll never receive it in the physical realm.
Persistent Action
Next to having a target or goal, this is the most important attribute to have in the lifestyle success formula.
As a matter of fact you could eliminate the others and still achieve most of your goals as long as you know what you want and take consistent, persistent action to get it.
It’s that important.
All the hoping, fantasizing, visualizing, chanting affirmations and such is useless if you don’t take action.
Action is the key to life. Nothing was ever accomplished without some form of action being taken. In order to achieve, you must do.
As the great Albert Einstein said, “Nothing happens until something moves.”
If you don’t move, your dreams are just that – dreams with no substance to them.
Set a target, focus on that target, believe you can achieve it, and begin to take action immediately until you reach your mark.
Follow this, along with the business success formula, and you’ll begin to notice a major shift in the quality of your life and the success of all your business endeavors.
