Hooman's Story

Jim Rohn said, “Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don’t fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.” Therefore it is critical that you learn how to deal with failure. If you look at failure in a positive perspective instead of a negative one, you will definitely grow from any failure you experience in your life. Henry Ford said, “Win or learn, there is no failure.” Everyone in life will experience some kind of failure. If you don’t experience failure then you probably are not pushing yourself hard enough. When you happen to fail in life, embrace your failure as an opportunity to grow and get better. If you don’t embrace it as an opportunity to get better than you are destined to keep making the same mistakes. If you keep making the same mistakes and you expect a different outcome then you are insane according to Albert Einstein.

Analyze your failures and see what you can do different so you can achieve the outcomes that you desire. Usually the difference in failure and success is minimal. Discover what you are doing wrong and try something different so you can keep trying to achieve the results that you desire. If you continue to fail then keep changing your approach until you succeed. Thomas Edison, said, “Many of life’s failures are experienced by people who didn’t realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” Thomas Edison failed over 10,000 times until he succeeded when he was trying to invent electricity. He said, that he had no choice but to succeed because he was running out of options. That is the dedication that you need to have when you are trying to achieve great success.

Dale Carnegie said, “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by the people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” Failure is always overcome by persistence. Never give up the fight until you achieve the success that you desire. Failure only becomes permanent when you accept it as your final outcome. Those who achieve the greatest success were those individuals that refused to quit when they were chasing their dreams. You must refuse to quit if you experience any failure or setback. Everyone in life gets knocked down, but life only rewards those who get back up. Difficulties strengthen the soul, look at the positive side of your pain. What doesn’t break you will make you. Believe in your abilities to achieve and go out there and make it happen.

How Long Does it Take to Become Successful? 

The beauty of success is that everyone has a different definition of it. Regardless of your personal definition of success, if you follow these steps to success, you will find your success much easier to achieve. Remember, success leaves clues so model anyone who is already experiencing the success that you are after. You will be surprised how fast you will duplicate your own success by modeling the best of the best.  

How Long? Not Long When…. You know that in order to achieve anything, you need a burning desire to achieve. Small desires = small outcomes. A huge burning desire = huge outcomes of achievement. You must know that your competition has a huge desire too. Therefore your desire to succeed has just got to be nuclear.  

How Long? Not Long When…. Buddha said, “We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.” Your thoughts are everything. You can achieve anything you believe with power and control over your thoughts and actions.You never let a negative thought enter your head. We are all created equal, its how we use our hearts and minds that sets us apart from the world. 

How Long? Not Long When…. Your belief system is made of the most empowering beliefs. You don’t believe in the impossible. You believe in your abilities to achieve anything you desire. You understand that the only limitations in your life are the ones that you have created for yourself. Henry Ford said, “Whether you believe you can, or whether you believe you can’t. You are right. 

How Long? Not Long When…. When you don’t believe in failure. You only believe in outcomes. If you don’t get the outcome you desire, you just keep changing your approach until you succeed. You use failure as a stepping stone and not a stumbling block. You believe that failure is just a chance to start over with a better approach. “Perseverance moves you through those trying times that would make the average person quit.”

Napoleon Hill quotes:

“One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.”

“No one ever is defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.”

How Long? Not Long When…. You know exactly what you want from your life. You have a plan to work and you work your plan. You are focused on your goals. You don’t let setbacks overcome you. You overcome your setbacks. 

How Long? Not Long When…. You know that communication is the key to life. You know that the quality of your life is going to come down to the quality of your communications with yourself and with others. You are constantly trying to improve your communication skills because you know how powerful a great communicator is.

 Henry Ford said, “IF THERE LIES ONE SECRET OF SUCCESS IT LIES IN THE ABILITY TO GET THE OTHER PERSON’S POINT OF VIEW AND SEE THINGS FROM THAT PERSON’S ANGLE AS WELL AS YOUR OWN.”

How Long? Not Long When…. You don’t believe in waiting for things to happen. You make things happen. You don’t believe in luck, because you create your own luck. You are a go getter. You spend your business hours taking massive action towards achieving the results that you desire. 

How Long? Not Long When…. You are focused on the future and you never look back. You have learned from your past. Your vision for the future is full of the highest of expectations. Great achievements are the results of great expectations. You will see it happen only when you believe it will happen.

How Long? Not Long When…. You know that the greatest risk is the one that you don’t take. You know that opportunities don’t go away, you know that opportunities just go to someone else. You don’t fear taking action, because you fear not taking action. 

How Long? Not Long When…. You believe in taking care of your clients. You know that if you take care of your clients, they will take care of you. You know that if you always do everything in the best interest of your clients, everything will take care of itself. You know that referrals are the key to your success. Therefore you are going to do whatever it takes to earn the right of getting referrals from your clients because you don’t want them to keep you a secret. 

How Long? Not Long When…. You know that it isn’t going to be easy. You are excited about the challenge because you know that nothing great comes on a silver platter. You know there are going to be difficulities ahead. You also know that difficulties strengthen the mind. Martin Luther King said, “Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.”

How Long? Not Long When…. You are committed to constant and never ending improvement. You are always going to be a student of the game. You are always going to practice your craft. You know that champions are made because of their practice habits.

With people facing the greatest challenges everyday in their lives, one thing is a given, their heart better be in it. How dedicated are you to your dreams?  How strong is your desire to move forward when you have tasted defeat? If you want to overcome adversity on a daily basis, your heart better be totally dedicated to the goals that you desire.

Survival in today’s difficult economy depends on the individual. I believe success is 90% mental and 10% skills. I have seen so many people accomplish incredible outcomes who had very little education and very little skill sets. What set these achievers apart is their burning desire to succeed, their passion to achieve the outcomes that they desired. Their hearts were totally committed to achieving their dreams and they were not going to let anything get in their way. They believed that success was their only option.

What are your challenges like daily? How strong is your will to overcome these challenges on a daily basis?Is your heart totally in it? Is your heart filled with passion and determination? It better be or else you will fail. Your heart better be filled with passion and determination because if you want to achieve in today’s tough marketplace, your heart better be in it.

You are the creator of your future. You are the creator of your life. You better have your heart totally dedicated to achieve the dreams that you desire because if you don’t, you will never achieve anything significant. However, if your heart is in everything that you do, there is no limit to what you can achieve. So fully invest your heart in to making your biggest dreams come true. Make it happen now. I know you can.

Have you ever had a problem with making a change that lasts? Have you ever started to change a bad habit and then go back to your old ways? Don’t feel bad, many people are victims of change. They just can’t seem to make a lasting change. Change is such a beautiful thing. When you make a change for the better, it is one of life’s most rewarding feelings. Change is something that we all need to focus on. Become an agent of change by striving to make yourself a better person than you were the day before. Just by making a small change in your life, you can totally change the quality of your life. We are all capable of change. Just remember that we are all responsible for our own changes. You and only you can make the changes that you desire.

Here are 3 steps to making a lasting change. Write down these steps with your answers. Review them daily until you get the change that you desire. 

1. Decide what it is that you want to change. Ask yourself what is stopping you today from making the change that you desire? Write down how bad you want to make this change. Write down how hard you are going to work until you make this change. Write down what your reward is going to be when you achieve your change.  

2. Get massively motivated to change. You have to create a powerful force that will motivate you to make the lasting change that you desire. 

A. Get yourself to associate massive pain to not changing now. Write down all the negative outcomes that will happen to you if you don’t change now. Write down as many negatives as you can think of. The more the better. Ask yourself, “How will my life be if I don’t make this change now?” Make your pain so intense that you will be terrified of putting off your change. The more pain you link to not changing, the more motivated you will be.

B. Then think of all the pleasure you will have in your life when you achieve this change that you desire. Write down all of the compelling reasons that are motivating you to make this change. Once again, the more reasons you write down, the more inspired you will be to make that change. Ask yourself, “How incredible will I feel when I make this change? Who else in my life will benefit when I make this change? What kind of momentum will my change create in my life?”  

You have to get yourself to realize that your change is an absolute must. The only way to create a lasting change is to create major urgency on why you have to change now. You must be absolutely compelled to make this change now. If you are not determined to change now, you will not have enough motivation to change. 

3. You have to believe in your abilities of making this change happen. You must not believe in failure. Remember, failure is just an outcome. If you don’t get the outcome you are looking for, you must change your approach until you succeed. You must have conviction pushing your desire to change. You must be willing to give it your absolute best. If you don’t give it your best you are not going to change. You have to decide that you are not giving up until you succeed. 

I know you can do anything you desire. Get excited about making this change. Keep your eye on the prize and don’t look back. I know you can do it. Make it happen now.

Setting goals is so important because they give you something to aim for. Goals give us direction and purpose in our lives. When you are committed to achieving your goals you are giving yourself a much better chance at achieving your desired outcomes. The higher you set your goals,  the harder it will be to achieve them. The harder it is to achieve them will make your accomplishment that much more rewarding. Focus on the outcomes you desire and believe in your ability to achieve them. When you set your goals high you are challenging yourself to achieve at a high level. I can’t stress enough the importance of setting specific goals that have a deadline for you to achieve them. Write down what your goals are. Write down what your motivation is behind them. The stronger your reasons for achieving your goals are only going to give you more power towards achieving them. What new skills will you have to learn to achieve your goals? Who is going to benefit from your achieving your goals? How are you going to feel when you accomplish your goals? Go set some goals that will challenge you to elevate your skills to achieve at the highest levels possible.

Write down what obstacles you will have to overcome to achieve your desired goals. Determine what new beliefs you will need to achieve your goals. Will you need to learn any new skills? Are you going to need help from anyone to achieve your goals? Who is going to benefit from you achieving these goals Goals – If you don’t know what it is that you want out of life, how in  the world are you going to get it? When writing down your desired goals, be clear, be specific, and be realistic. Goals give you direction, goals give you purpose. The more detailed and precise your goal action plan is, the easier it will be for you to take the necessary steps towards achieving your goal. You must believe in yourself and your abilities to achieve your goal. It’s not what others believe, its what you believe. Its imperative that you visualize yourself as you accomplish your goals in your mind. Visualization is incredibly empowering because the more you visualize your goals, the faster they will manifest in your life. When you visualize your actions, you are subconsciously rehearsing the details of your plan. Visualization is so empowering because you are getting your subconscious mind familiar with the actions you must take for manifestation. Constantly imagine how incredible you will feel as you accomplish your goals. Constantly Imagine all the people in your life you will effect with your achievements. Now you must write down all the reasons why you want to achieve your goal. Now is time to achieve your hopes, goals, dreams, and desires before its too late. You are going to get out our your life exactly what you put into it. So go out there and let it all hang out.  Remember, whether you believe you can or you can’t, you are right.

THREE STEPS TO ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS

1. DISCOVER YOUR GOALS

You can have as many goals as you want, short term goals, long term goals, personal development goals, business goals, relationship goals, parenting goals. The first step to achieving your goals is to identify your goals in writing. I recommend getting a five subject notebook and categorizing your goals under these five categories. Personal Development Goals, Business Goals, Daily Goals, Short Term Goals, Long Term Goals. That is how I have done it, feel free to do it your own way. Write these goals as specifically as you can. Write down why you want these goals. Write down what you are going to do to get these goals. Write down any new skills or any new knowledge you will have to obtain to achieve your desired goals. Write down how you are going to feel when you accomplish these goals. Write down who is going to benefit from you achieving your goals. (family, significant other, friends, co-workers)  It is important that you be as specific as possible because you are writing the instruction manuel to achieving your dreams.

2. CHALLENGES OF YOUR GOALS

Get prepared for any challenges ahead of time so you can handle them as they arise. The bigger the goals, the bigger the challenges, the bigger the rewards when you achieve your goals. We must never get intimidated because it looks like it is going to be hard. Make it your habit to get excited about big challenges because it is a chance for you to stretch your abilities.

3. STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR GOALS

Review your goals regularly. I read out loud my long term goals when I wake up in the morning and before I go to bed. By doing this your subconscious mind will be in harmony with your conscious mind, giving you more focus than you ever had. This will make your goals a part of your belief system, giving you more confidence. because it won’t be a matter of if, just when. Keep focused on your goals no matter what happens, there will be dream stealers and negative naysayers looking for you to fail. Remember, you don’t believe in failure, you only believe in outcomes. You will just keep changing your approach until you get the outcome you desire. You are on a mission of completion. You are not going to give up just because someone else did, you are in it to win it.

Write down in your own words the goals that you have set for yourself and the purpose behind them. Make your goals public to people who will hold you accountable to achieving them. You can achieve anything you believe so make it happen now.
