There are shortcuts to success. Just like "The Talent code 10000", not everything will make you an expert if you put 10,000 hours into it, only spent 10,000 hours to do deliberate practice, can really achieve the meaning of this law.
If you want to succeed, the following are some of the shortcuts you can take:
Confirm what you type of success you want to achieve
Each of us wants to succeed, but everyone has a different definition of success. So what type of success are you trying to achieve?
I once asked three trainees in a training session, and the three students showed a keen desire for success. But I asked them, "What type of success do you want?" "None of the students can answer clearly. Their answers are vague, sensory, and not explicitly descriptive.
So, to be successful, you must first have a clear definition of success. Just like driving, you need to know where your destination is. This way you can plan the time and route, the most efficient to reach the destination. If the destinations are not clear, even if you have a more upscale sports car, it is just driving around.
If you cannot define your success explicitly, then you can answer a simple question: "What kind of person do you want to be?"

Use the power of role model to motivate yourself
The power of role model has begun to seep into our subconscious when we are in primary school. The school has the leader, has representative for each class, each class has the role model type student representative.
The role of this school representative is to tell all the students that everyone is in the same learning environment. If the class representative can do it, you can do it too.
Then, as we grow up, the power of the role model also exists. You can look for people who have the same conditions as you are now. If they have been successful through their own efforts to achieve the same as you want, you can too.
They can do it, and so can you. This time, they become your reference character, make you have no excuse not to work hard.
If you want to get skills qualification certificate while working, but feel very tired, may as well use the power of role model. John, an ordinary peasant worker becomes a sales division manager, after six years of struggle to get five certificates. John life is more difficult than you, but he also able to go through it. Your present condition is better than him at that time, what are your reason not to work hard?

Don't fight alone, find support you can get
Ask yourself, if you want to succeed, what support do I need? Who can help me? What resources are available to help me?
You can look for people who are willing to support you and help you achieve your goals, such as your mentor, your leader. They have more resources and connections.
Just like we're going to school and homeschooling. In the class, we have the teacher's explanation, our answer to the question is quicker than self learning.
And if you want to start a business, you can find your former boss or company button man to eat a meal, consult, so that at least you won’t take unnecessary road. It would be better to find partners that have the same values as you.
More pondering, diligent practice, let us improve faster!
