Assuming your managers at all levels are ‘Talent Leader’
Know what you want to achieve. Have it as a top of mind recall.
Say you can do it. Never possess a negative attitude. Believe that you will succeed. Surround yourself with things that remind you that you can, and will, succeed.
You are responsible for your future, hence whatever you think to achieve also be aware of the fact that you are responsible for what you achieve.
Don't look for anyone to blame. Feel free to ask for help as you need it, but remember the final decision is up to you. It's your life, after all.
Speaking in the present will help you achieve more rather than speaking in future tense, for example I will achieve these things and etc. speak about your targets and also be committed towards your determination.
Action speaks louder than words, hence stress more importance on the actions you do. Keep up your commitments that you make to self as well as to others. Too often we find it easy to keep our commitments to others while neglecting to keep our commitments to ourselves. This pattern has to change if you're to succeed in life.
Goal has to be Specific, Measurable and Motivational, Attainable and Attractive, Realistic and Timed.
Have a clear action plan, and create small steps that can help you achieve the final target. Remind yourself that each step is bringing you closer to your goal.
Perform each act to the best of your ability, filled with faith, determination and purpose to reach your goal. Most importantly, be consistent.
Do not give up until you have achieved what you desire. In the course of things, be willing to change any part of your plan which turns out not to work, and try something else.
Maintain an attitude of gratitude, knowing that your dream is about to become a reality. Refuse to grumble when circumstances look contrary. Refuse to complain. Be grateful for where you are now, and for where you are headed. Look around for things to be grateful for. You'll be surprised to find quite a few.
In your relationships, always think in terms of what you can do for the other person. What goes round comes round. After all, whatever dreams you have most likely involve interacting with other people. Be kind and generous to all; you never know where your breakthrough will come from.
Use positive affirmations.
No matter what motivates you personally...whatever you choose to do with your life, doesn’t expect instant success. The years of struggle, commitment and learning in excelling at whatever endeavor or trade you choose, is no easy task. I would wholeheartedly agree with that statement. It takes a lot of courage, character and discipline to achieve success in any field.
