Working for Success is like Working out at the Gym

For the person who truly values the achievement of success, they will understand that you have to work everyday for it. While we can experience success on a daily basis the big successes that many of us work for take time. With this in mind we are constantly looking for the various formulas that will put us on the pathway to achieving the big success.

Working for success really is like working out at the gym. To achieve one's fitness goals one must work daily to achieve his or her goals. There is the constant monitoring of weight, fat percentage, body mass index, addition of weights in your routine, how much time is dedicated to cardio, etc. For the fitness enthusiast, monitoring these items as well as a slew of others, allow them to track how close they are to achieving a fitness goal. Once they have achieved that goal they will set another goal and work towards that goal.

This process applies to anyone pursuing any success goal. You must identify the various steps needed to obtain the goal. How are these steps monitored? What can you do to improve on the steps? Once you have achieved your goal or met a success, what are the next steps to get you to your next goal or success?

Here are some ideas for your general success goals that can be helpful by incorporating them into your daily success workout:

• Take time to write out your daily, weekly, short and long term goals
• Review the steps you are taking to achieve your goals. Revise them if necessary
• Visualize what you want to achieve
• Start with the end result in mind and work backwards
• Appreciate the work you are doing to meet your goals. Gratitude is very important!!
• Read books on motivation, inspiration, business, goal setting
• Have a conversation with someone who is going through the success process and compare notes
• Flex your mental muscle by being a sponge but also by being a source of info to the people you work with
• Allow time for reflection on your day's activities

We will continue to add to your daily success workout but try these to get started.

Let's look at some comparison's between gym observations and success observations.

• The gym person who comes in and takes several laps so that they can be seen by everyone = the person who only believes that the perception of success is necessary to be successful
• The gym person who performs their exercise and then immediately looks in the mirror expecting an immediate result = the person who performs an action towards achieving their goal and is expecting an immediate result. These people tend to be impatient and when they don't get immediate satisfaction, they give up.
• The gym person who obnoxiously makes grunting sounds beyond the norm so that people will see how much they are lifting = the person who goes around and tells everyone about the great "good deed" they just did
• The gym person who is there everyday and works smartly, not disturbing others, focused on their goal and is steadfast = the person who is determined to be successful and is willing to work daily because the long term payoff will be worth the grind that went into it

So as you continue your day ask yourself, are you working daily for success? If not, why?
