Tips on SUCCESS
Most of the rewards of success often come after
The age of 40. that will be when, the hackneyed line goes, "Life begins" and things will not be as hard as when you were still struggling to hack out career. By the time you reach that age, you should already be valued for your experience, knowledge and judgement, rather than for your ability to work 18 hours everyday.
So what should you do to make sure you make it big before you reach that age?
1. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Learn everything you need to know about your business or profession before 40.
2. DEVELOP YOUR OWN STYLE. Before
You're 40, learn what u'r comfortable with
Whether it's the way you dress or simply
The small touches that set you apart. You
Can experiment in your 20's and 30's but
Establish your own style firmly by the
You're 40.
3. PUT YOUR EMOTIONAL LIFE IN ORDER,
IF POSSIBLE. It's easier to climb the totem
Pole of your career if you are happy in life,
Rather than when you are mired in emotional crises. Its hard enough to
Succeed without taking on personal
Problems that lessen your energy and
Divert your attention. Besides unhappiness
Is like a disease. It gradually eclipses
Interest in everything else. Of course, all
Your difficulties cant be avoided, and one has to rise above them. But those who have managed to put their personal lives in order by the time they are 40 are generally in better shape for success than those who have not. So if you are going to a hopeless
Affair, do it – before the problem's drags on
Into the 5th decade of your life.
4. KNOW YOUR WEAKNESSES.
Accept the things that u don't do well, cant
Stand, and wont do. Get into the kind of work you enjoy before you are 40 or you are guaranteeing yourself an unhappy decade or two after that age.
5. KNOW UR STRENGTH You better decide what you're good at, too, and recognize the things you enjoy doing and do better than anyone else. Whatever you're role, knowing who you are and what you've good at is critical for success.
6. MAKE A START PUTTING AWAY YOUR "I QUIT" MONEY. Nothing is so depressing as absolute dependency – the knowledge that you cant afford to quit your job or take
A risk in changing careers. Put away enough so that you have a safety net. You
May never use it, but sometimes, the only proper response to situation is "Gentleman quit" – and you'll hate yourself if you're not in a position to say it.
7. ESTABLISH A NETWORK If by 40 you have'nt build a network of friends, or at least people who rely on you and to whom you can turn, you are in trouble. A network
Is not something you can establish overnight. It takes adecades of nurturing.
In business as in politics, you need a lot of people, spread out in the right places, who you can depend on you.
8. LEARN TO DELEGATE Those who cant do this are condemned to remain in subordinate positions. Delegation is half of success. A person who cannot delegate will
Find him fatally handicapped. You must be able to pick the right people and trust them.
9. LEARN WHEN TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT More careers are
Ruined by careless
Talk than by anything else. Learn to keep quite and look wise. People will naturally suppose that you know more than you probably do. Don't gossip and don't talk about your plans. A reputation for keeping
Secrets far outweighs the easy popularity
That sharing gossip may give you. Remember, in higher management, secrecy
Is highly valued.
10. BE LOYAL A reputation for disloyalty usually makes you unwelcome anywhere in business. You claw your way to the top not by back – stabbing, but by establishing on in your career a solid-reputation as a faithful man. If you can't establish a reputation for rock-hard 100 percent loyalty by the time you're 40, you wont find many places to go in your career.
11. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR
Here on earth, nothing is forever, not even
Success!
Success comes not from the avoidance of failure. Most of the time, success is achieved only when there has been enough failure."
