EASY PEASY
For some there is no easy way to success – it requires learning from mistakes and is one of the best ways. Take Steve Jobs for example – he certainly had ups and downs before he met with meterioic success. Here are 10 points that help you have more success more easily.

1. ACTION
Are you really taking action to move your dreams forward. Think of what actions you can take and do to get moving. Focus upon what the action will bring you. In other words, you need to think what this action will bring you.

2. NEWNESS
Do something new. If you keep doing the same things the same way time after time then progress will be slow or non-existent. Act upon new ideas and experiment with new ways of doing things.

3. IMPROVEMENT
When we talk about improvement – we talk about improving our actions and that includes your offerings – your product. Ideally introduce to the world something that people will talk about, recommend and resonate with. Make sure your offerings are tip-top – invest the time and resources you can in it.

4. POWER UP
It is about your audience, your fans, your customers, your sphere of influence or in marketing talk – your market share. You need to get your website and your social media working for your too. In these areas you need to offer something of value – something free in exchange for an email address, for example.

5. MONEY
You have to do financial projections for your business and products. Keep financial considerations in your mind too.

6. THE GIFT OF THE GAB
The gift of the gab is the ability to speak. If you want success you need to be able to write well and speak well. These are skills that can be improved with regular practice. Again go into action write and speak as much as you can but with the intention to improve and do better. Watch and learn from the best speakers and writers.

7. BETTER THE LEADERS
In every field there are leaders – study them, what makes them tick. Study their websites and their social media presence. Don’t copy, but see what ideas might complement your purpose, and also have you can innovate on the current ideas set. I once read a story – it was about some children who were trying to get the bananas of a banana tree. None of the children could read the bananas on their own. Only when they co-operated and one bent down and allowed another to use her like a stepping stone were they able to get the bananas. Team work, co-operation and collaboration can get us further. We may not have a formal relationship but we need to learn from others.

8. COLLABORATIVE EFFECT
Often when we share we have more. Think about how others can help spread your message – people in your industry and field. Think alliances and mutual benefits.

9. PASSIONATE SINCERITY
Passion and sincereness are powerful ways to touch your audiences. Inject passion and sincereity. Take the passion test and look at some of the best selling products and think how passion was injected.

10. SUCCESSFUL FLEXIBILITY
Success rarely happens overnight. It may take years – but keep your purpose in mind but be flexible to incorporate new ideas, new directions and new collaborations.
