5 Steps to Success shared by Arnold... and expanded below with my examples and explanation.

1. Find your Vision (and Follow It)
Without one, you may just be tempted to follow another person's vision for your life. For example, if you don't have a mould to bake a cake in, you would go over to your neighbour's to borrow one. I'm not asking you to do that. When it comes to life, you've gotta learn from others but when you are crafting your vision out, you've gotta come out with your OWN mould that will fit you and your life. Be an original recipe.

2. Never think small, Think BIG
Many successful visionaries and explorers at work, business or life don't just look for the big breaks. They actually take every opportunity to Grow, Learn, Adapt and Apply. Start small... but don't think small. That's the only way to get BIG. It's not an overnight success. No one was just born to become a Michael Jordan or Steffi Graf, it takes many years of winning the small arena before the Big arena. And you have to have a BIG Dream / Goal (that scares you) to be able to end at that height of your desired destiny!

3. Ignore the Naysayers
Don't listen to people who will not believe in your Dream. When I started out as a Coach 13 years ago, many close family members and friends, (out of good intentions) gave me their advise to not pursue a risky, uncertain path like Personal Development. They instead told me to focus on my areas of expertise at that point of time, which was Marketing & Advertising. Imagined if I listened to them, I would not have been Coach Mel, Founder of APIC, Catalyst and co-author of "Bring Out Their Best". Listen to your heart, gut and God. And GO for it!

4. Work your Butt Off
No pain no gain is the right answer. There is NO shortcut to anything. After being quite successful in what I do as a Coach, many younger Coaches mimicked what I did and thought they would simply overtake my success. Such was not the case. And it's not that I'm so much better than they, I'm perhaps more principle-based led and can really value add to organizations as I have walked longer miles on the hard road of consistency and persistency. Like what the ROCK says, "Always be the hardest worker in the room".

5. Don't just Take, Give Back
There are millions out there who may need it more than you. Some may need food, water, shelter, clothing, education, or just a break or an opportunity to come out of their darkness. Go and make a difference. Don't just sit back and complain about the world and why things are not working the way it should. If you want to complain, do it silently...and yet, be bold to take steps to become the SOLUTION of your Pain/Problem. We are so Blessed living in this country, think about the others just outside your community, they may need your care, time, love, guidance, and yes even a little bit of your resources.

What will you do with your amazing life. Go and be a History-Maker.
