Susan Boyle Sings Success

Susan Boyle can teach us all a lesson about how to achieve success. Defined as “the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors”, true success remains elusive for most people – regardless of profession. As a global “overnight sensation” Susan oozed courage, patience and determination in pursuing her personal goal. The truth is that most of us are just too busy being comfortable with where we are, as opposed to taking the risks necessary to be successful.

Never underestimate the power of a positive mindset. The only thing you have control of in your life is your perception. Luckily for Susan Boyle, this is the force that can move mountains. Instill within yourself a positive mindset and you’ve instilled the energy of success. This energy will forever attract its twin. In other words, the energy of success attracts the manifestation of success in actual life. A positive mindset incorporates strong self-belief, drive and determination.

To be successful you must develop your mission statement and break it down into smaller components. It is important to set small goals every day. In this, you are creating the step-by-step process to achieving your greater goals. Once successful patterns are established in your life, everything becomes possible.

When creating a goal-setting routine, set primary objectives in one or two areas to begin. As you start realizing small successes, add more objectives. Take a separate piece of paper for every objective. Clearly write the objective and the deadline for achieving your goal. Next, list the reasons you have for achieving each objective. Many people fail to achieve success simply because they lack clear reasons for doing so. For example, Susan Boyle made it her mission to enter, and win, a singing competition. She carefully planned the daily set of actions that would help her accomplish this mission. Susan did all this as a tribute to her late mother. The more compelling your reasons are, the greater your chances will be for meeting your objectives. Conversely, if you can’t come up with good reasons to do something, you may as well set another objective, as this one won’t be achieved.

Susan Boyle had the clarity of vision in her quest. Define what success means to you and manifest it in your actions. Combat every failing with a positive mindset and you’ll realize that even mistakes are just another step in the right direction. When life doesn’t go your way it’s important not to get discouraged. The less it seems as if things are on the right track, the more you are required to persevere in your endeavor. Commitment means for better or for worse and no business endeavor comes without its lumps. Keep your positive mindset handy against whatever obstacles are thrown in your way.

Susan Boyle practiced her singing diligently and applied to appear on the Britain’s Got Talent television show. Had she not done so she wouldn’t have achieved her goal. As you can see, it takes action to achieve your dreams. Action is the final puzzle piece needed to build success.

Susan Boyle stayed true to her vision and pursued her dream. Remember that everyone suffers before achieving glory.

One common theme in “growing up,” or at least in becoming all you can be – without joining the U.S. Army, that is – is to learn how to achieve goals. If you are at a point in your life where you want to do that, to become a better version, an upgrade of you, then you will need a plan to do so. Here is one of the best ways to get you on the road to successfully achieving your goals, and it centers around one key problem.

That key problem is a lack of focus. Too often, a parade of opportunity seems to be driving for your attention, just off to stage left. You may start to follow a plan, even make progress…only to discover that you have found an even bigger, easier, faster-track plan that seems to promise threefold what your former plan could deliver.

You know the rest of the story, and it ends up in a long resume peppered with good intentions and running starts. The problem with running starts is that they are meaningless without a finish line in sight. Instead of succumbing to the death of a thousand cuts, here is one of the keys to learning how to achieve goals: get yourself a one-track mind.

The only way to beat status quo is to quit being status quo – get a plan together for a goal, whatever that goal is, and work it. See it through. It’s a lot like bowling in that way – the “follow-through,” as it’s called. If you want your ball to hit that pocket between the king pin and either pin #2 or #3, the follow-through is important.

Tips on getting focused:

Give Yourself A Reasonable Deadline
Identify What Distracts You And Counter It
Reward Little Successes

1. Give Yourself A Reasonable Deadline

Don’t be either too easy or hard on yourself. Rome wasn’t built in a day, your goals will need time to be reached. Set reasonable deadlines, and if they don’t look like they’re going to be met, either kick it in gear, hire help, or re-set your deadline based on your current status and review.

Without deadlines, goals are simply all talk. Tip: Break your big goals into smaller milestones along the way. This way you can mark your progress and feel a sense of accomplishment.

2. Identify What Distracts You And Counter It

For some, it’s sporting events, BBQ’s with friends, television or video games and other amusements. For others, it may be that impromptu visit from a friend or neighbor that results in an afternoon not accomplishing your goals.

It may be time to deny yourself and your friends this luxury for a while, as you set out to reach for your goals. Just make sure it’s temporary – you don’t want to reach your goals and wind up old, alone and done for, like Captain Hook.

3. Reward Little Successes

When you reach a milestone, be sure that you acknowledge the victory somehow. make sure that your “victory party” is do-able, enjoyable, and within reason. For instance, if your goal is to lose weight, your celebration shouldn’t include eating a cheesecake. Just sayin’…

Get focused, that’s the big key of how to achieve goals. Without focus, you’re on a trip to the same place you started from, status quo. Get a little tough on yourself, and get moving. That’s how it’s done.
