We Should Never, Ever, Doubt Our Ability to Succeed
In conversation with one of my learned chums this week, the subject of success came up - or more precisely, just what makes some people more successful than others, and I have very strong views about this.
I believe that one of the defining and most significant qualities of the most successful people we know is confidence. It is their inner belief that they can achieve anything they want to achieve, and enjoy as much success as they wish - however they personally define success.
Success is different for all of us; some people use obvious material signs to show the rest of us that they have made it... large houses, fast cars,mbt zum Verkauf, ostentatious life styles, with a deliberate "Look at me, I am better than you" statement.
Certainly, post-Thatcher,MBT Schuhe Baridi, the British tend to judge each other based on the house they live in, the quality of their car, and most recently, how exclusive their children's school is. It doesn't seem to matter that the house may be heavily mortgaged or that the car belongs to the company.
But let's get back to my assertion that successful people - genuinely successful people - have considerable inner confidence and self-belief.
If you think about it, it is quite obvious. Success is not an easy thing to obtain - if it was, everyone would be successful, and the word "unsuccessful" would not appear in our dictionaries.
Did young Tom Edison ever lose his self-belief - even after 10.000 "failures"?
Did the visionary Walt Disney ever question his theme park plans,Mbt Moto Stiefel, even though more than one hundred banks rejected his requests for finance?
Did any of the most successful authors you have ever read, give up after their manuscripts were rejected time after time? - JK Rowling had Harry Potter turned back more than eighty times I am told!
No, none of them did,MBT Imara Schuhe, because they had such strong self-belief.
Closely aligned with self-belief is courage,Mbt Schuhe Raha, commitment, durability, resilience, patience, and vision. That last one is very important, because it is our ability to visualize what success will feel like that drives us on, and often keeps us going in times of adversity.
Can anyone be successful?
Yes, of course they can... if they want it badly enough.
If one person can be successful,mbt schuhe, then we all can, but "most people" never work out what it is they really want. They talk in vague terms about more security,Mbt Sandalen Swala, more disposable income, more holidays, but never quite make it.
"Most people" spend their twilight years looking back in total frustration - "I wish I had ..." "If only I had ..." but by then, it is usually too late.
In professional selling, cultivated sales skills; the use of a clearly defined sales process; in-depth knowledge, for example, will only take us so far. Without that strong inner-belief and confidence, we will never, ever, over-achieve.
My advice - based on my own personal experiences, is always question... but never doubt your ability to succeed.
When doubt enters our minds, confidence slips out via the back door - they can never co-exist. Be assured, confidence really is the key to success.相关的主题文章：
