With the amount of success strategies around it is easy to become overwhelmed. In fact, there are so many that lots of people spend so much time reading about the different ones that they never really get around to implementing any of them.
For me though, there are just two words that count, and once you fully understand the implied meaning behind those two words, you can hang any number of success strategies you want onto them and make them fit.
Those two words are ‘action’ and ‘tenacity’.
Action can be broken down into two parts. You first need to establish the right type of action to take, and you then need to follow fully through with that action – nothing short of 100% effort, no holds barred, action will suffice.
It is no good sitting at home thinking about what action needs to be taken, you need to be out there following through with it. A great quote to bear in mind is this “Every person who has ever slept knows what it is to dream. It is the person who gets out of bed and takes action on that dream who will know success”.
Lets now look at the second word – tenacity. If you truly want success, you are going to need terrier-like tenacity, just like a terrier who has its sights on a rabbit. When you have set your sights on success, you need to chase it for as long as is a necessary and, when you get it, you need to hang on to it and never let go.
Note though that this is not a recommendation for adopting a blinkered approach, as charging blindly towards your dream will be as likely to bring failure as it will be to bring success. You need to remain flexible and aware, as there will be more than one way of achieving the same goal, and the way you originally thought of may become blocked.
Consider the following quote: “Success seems to be largely a matter of holding on after others have let go”.
It means that to be successful you must show more tenacity than everyone else who is competing for the same opportunities that you are. Only be showing more desire and fight, and by sticking at it the longest, will you succeed.
