In this issue of Promotional Consultant Today, we share six traits that all successful people have in common, and they serve as drivers to success. You can P.A.M.P.E.R. your way to success if you incorporate these six pillars of personal power into your daily routine.
Purpose: Do you have a grand purpose in life? Get away from the idea of a grand purpose and start concentrating on those things that really matter. Call this your daily purpose. What does your heart desire? Who do you really want to be? Once you start to explore those questions the vision of your daily purpose will come clear. Take a look at where you are in your career. What is it that people applaud about your efforts? What part of your job really makes you stand out? Keep an open mind and you will find that your purpose may soon reveal itself to you.
Look at yourself and your life. That is where you will find all the purpose you need to achieve fulfillment. Do your best each day to be the best that you can be. There is hardly a better purpose than that.
Attitude: With the right attitude you can turn all your goals into accomplishments. It all comes down to faith. You have to believe. You have to believe that you are destined to live out your dreams. If you have that faith in yourself, you are on the right road. Wake up each morning with an attitude that tells you there are treasures for you to discover. Rather than dwell on the problems you see, turn your attention to the good things that await you. Do this and you have what is called an “opportunity outlook.” Rather than think about things you have to do, think about things you get to do. Do you have a job? You don’t have to go to that job. You get to go to that job. There is someone out there who would take that job if you don’t want it. Once you change your thought pattern from “have to” to “get to” you are going to find more opportunities in every aspect of your life.
Modeling: Successful people model themselves after other successful people. You should do the same. It is quite simple. Kids do it all the time. There isn’t a young basketball player who does not want to be like LeBron James. They watch what he does and try to repeat it.
Find someone who has what you want. Study that person. Watch how they behave, what they read, how they dress. You do not have to invent a new way of doing something. All you have to do is learn what they do and then try to improve on it. Do it better, do it smarter. Their success can be your success. The next step to success is to share the knowledge. Find someone to mentor. Help another person achieve his or her goals and you will be rewarded repeatedly. Do it with enthusiasm and that person will tell the world how smart and helpful you are. Soon people will be coming to you for advice and counsel.
Does this sound like a success plan? Read more ways to P.A.M.P.E.R. your way to success tomorrow.
