How to Be Successful

Method 01
Creating Goals :

1- Define what success means to you:
You cannot have success if you do not know what it means for you. Everyone views success differently. True success comes from achieving what will make you happiest in life. Once you have identified this, you can set goals that are meaningful and important to you.[1]
Try writing down your definition of success. Is it earning a certain income, living in a certain area, or supporting a happy family? Would success allow you to travel, save for retirement, or maintain a healthy social life?
If you’re struggling, consider what makes you happiest in life. Is it spending time with your family, traveling, pursuing a hobby, or something else? What would you do if money was not a concern? Next, identify what you need in life to achieve that happiness.

2- Identify your ultimate purpose or goal:

Identify the things you love to do, the things that give you satisfaction. Once you identify what you love to do, use this information to find the purpose of your life or the objective of your life.[2]
Finding what you love to do will give you motivation along the way. It's much, much easier to persistently chip away at your goal if your goal is something you enjoy doing.
Consider where you want to be in 5, 10, and 20 years. What can you do that will help you achieve that dream?
If you’re confused about what your goal or purpose might be, try meeting with a career coach or visiting a good psychologist.
Your goals should be quantifiable. For example, instead of setting a goal to be better at your job, create benchmarks such as "My goal is to increase my productivity by 30% and only be late for work five times per year, at the most."

3- Set a timeline for when you want to achieve your objective:

Give yourself a timeline that is difficult but doable. Make sure you have enough time to accomplish each of your smaller steps. Appearing on a nationally televised comedy show might not be feasible within a year, but booking a comedy gig in front of at least 20 paying customers probably is.[4]
Make sure to set guidelines for smaller goals as well. For example, make a goal to join an improv team by the end of the month or to perform at an open mic within 3 months.

4-Identify what resources you need to achieve your objectives:

These might be tools, lessons, budgets, or other resources that will help you reach your goals. You might need certain skills, such as public speaking, or other people, such as employees or consultants.[5]
For example, to start your own business, you might need a bank loan. To get a bank loan, you need a good credit score and a bank.
If you want to become a musician, you may need to invest in your own instrument, music, and website.
