Eight Steps on Your Road to Success

SWOT Analysis


Carry out a SWOT analysis of yourself; that is, analyse your personal strengths and weaknesses, your opportunities and threats.

4
Make a Final Decision to Pursue Your Dream and Set Firm Objectives
If you have decided to go for your chosen success, then set yourself some firm objectives, or even just one firm objective
5
Planning Your Success
Put together an outline plan of what you need to do to achieve the success for which you strive. It can be a list to begin with, a check list of everything you have to do, including such things as knowledge gaps you need to fill, skills you need to acquire, and weaknesses you must address to guarantee long term success

Monitor Progress
Monitoring your progress against the plan is vital. You may think you are doing well, when in fact you have omitted something critical or are far behind in a crucial task.

Be Frankly Critical With Yourself


Take a critical look at what you have achieved so far, maybe at the half way stage, and tell yourself frankly what and where you need to do better. Determine where you are letting yourself down, and decide what to do about it. Then add your new actions to your plans.

The Final Climb to the Peak
A final check of your equipment, your knowledge, your health and your determination. Are they all ready to go? If so, then you are on your way, there is no stopping you now. You are a success
