The Secret to Success

You wake up one morning, and inspiration strikes. You have a goal, a dream, a vision.

The modern world of influencers and grifters will tell you that the next steps are to do a mood board, manifest the outcome, post about it on social media, and then blame yourself and the rest of the world when it doesn’t come right.

The truth is, it is your fault. But not for dreaming and wanting to improve, but for the approach.

Success, once you have an idea, has 5 simple steps.

1. Plan
2. Ask for help
3. Work hard
4. Be consistent
5. Review and reflect

Without a plan, a dream remains a dream. Without support you will start off in the wrong direction, lose your way and waste time. Without hard work, nothing can be achieved. Without consistency, the effort is wasted, and without reflection you cannot refine your plan and actions.

Most people, whatever the goal, are good at working hard. A fair number have a plan, but too few remember the other elements.
