10 Great Tips for Success in Both Life and Business BY ROBERT CHEN

Sometimes what helps us to be successful in our professional lives is not such a great idea in our personal lives — competition is a quality that comes to mind. At the same time, we all have a limited amount of time each day to do the things that we want to do.

So for the sake of saving time and energy, I’m sharing a list of tips that will help you be successful in both life and in business.

1. Add Value

No matter what you do and where you go, you can’t go wrong with adding value. Simply put value is anything that people are willing to pay for. In your professional life, the more value you can offer the more money you can make. In your personal life, more value translates to closer relationships and strong personal growth. The best way to add value is to find the intersection between what people are willing to pay for and what service or product you can offer that is aligned with your values, strengths and goals.

How are you adding value to your employers and loved ones today? What can you do to increase your ability to add value?

2. Follow Your Passion

Reading numerous biographies on great people and from my own personal observations and encounters, I’ve realized that those who achieve greatness professional and personally follow their passion. The reason why great people are few and far in-between is because most people don’t even know what their passion is. For those that do figure out their passion, most of them don’t follow their passion consistently. This is one of the main reasons why people don’t reach their goals.

Do you know what your passion is? If not, what are you going to do to find out? If  you do know what you passion is, are you following it?

3. Be Extraordinary

If you do the same thing as everyone else, it’s hard to be successful. It is important to find the edge and then push past it. That is how you become noticed and get what you want. Whether it is money, meaningful relationships and/or a sense of personal accomplishment, the extraordinary person attracts them all.

How are you extraordinary?  If you feel just ordinary, what are you going to do to become extraordinary? For those who don’t know, you may want to check out articles on my blog and also How to go from Ordinary to Extraordinary.

4. Start Now

There are many factors that go into become a success in both your professional and personal life but the one factor that is required is taking action. Most people miss out on reaching their full potential because they never start. They are always preparing, planning and waiting for the best time to start. If I waited until I was ready, I would not have a coaching practice, a website, a blog, a workshop, etc. The stars rarely align and you will never be completely ready so just start now and adjust along the way.

Are you waiting for something before you start? What is your planning to doing ratio? What’s really the worse thing that can happen if you got started right now? If you are someone that’s just been waiting, stop reading this post and get started on what you have been wanting to do. This article will still be here when you get back.

5. Hunt for Good Mentors

People who “make it” usually credit their success to a mentor or a group of mentors who really helped guide them to get to where they are. Mentors have gone down the road that you want to travel and can guide you to get to your destination faster than if you went at it alone. If you want to be healthy, you would find a mentor who is already healthy. If you want to be rich, then you have to find someone who is already rich. What surprises me is how rarely people engage in mentoring relationships and those who do usually find mentors in only one aspect of their lives. If you want to be successful, be active about finding mentors that will help you achieve what you want. Jeff Goins has a nice short article on finding mentors.

Do you have a mentor in your life now? If not, ask yourself what barriers are preventing you from finding or establishing a mentoringrelationship? If you do have a mentor, do you have one for the different aspects of your life (financial, health, professional, personal, spiritual, relationships, parenting etc.)?

6. Build a Support Group

While mentors serve as a guide with whom you review your past actions and plan your next steps, a support group are your companions that help you with during the actual execution of your plan. This may be in the form of a mastermind group or accountability partner where you keep each other accountable for your goals and to help each other deal with situations that may arise while you are on your journeys. It is extremely helpful to have someone you know that is willing to listen to your frustrations and self doubt and to encourage you and remind you of how far you’ve already come.

Who is in your support group?

7. Personally Know Your Finances

Numbers scare a lot of people. Start talking about assets, liabilities and net worth and people’s eyes just glaze over. If you are one of these people who run away from numbers, please stop running because you are hurting yourself. If you want to be financially independent, you need to know how to keep score. If you have your own business or want to successfully invest, finances tell you how well you are doing and reveal the health of a business. If you don’t understand finances, you have to learn. It’s easy once you get over the limiting belief that you are no good at numbers. For those interested in learning more, you may want to check out these personal finance resources.

Do you know you net worth? If you are bad at numbers, what specifically makes you believe that? How can you improve your financial intelligence?

8. Get Help

I have a tendency to try to do everything myself and in some ways it is good and in many ways it is bad. It is important to know and understand all aspects of your life and business but that does not mean having to do all the tasks involved in maximizing your potential in those areas. It is true that we can always learn new things and become competent in them but what is also true is that we are only given 24 hours each day and to live full lives, it is more effective to do what we do best and to outsource tasks that we’re not good at to people who excel at them. Delegating effectively takes trust and the ability to clearly communicate what you want. For those that want to outsource, Elance is a nice way to find some quality freelancers.

How are you spending your time? Is it doing things you are awesome at? If not, what are you doing that you can outsource or delegate so you can devote more time doing what you’re great at? What’s stopping you from outsourcing or delegating?

9. Learn Sales

Many people cringe when they hear the word sales. “I would never be in sales, that’s a sleazy job.” It is exactly this type of thinking that stops people from being their best. Sales is nothing more than persuading someone of something. When you are looking to get a date, you are selling. When you are interviewing for a job, you are selling. When you are trying to persuade your spouse or kids to go to Europe for your family vacation, you are selling. In a professional setting, sales is paramount and the lifeline for any business. If you want to get the most out of life and business, learn the skills for effective selling. I am beginning a series of blog posts on How to Sell on my blog and you can learn from other successful sales trainers by reading material from Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracey and Og Mandino.

When you hear “sales”, what associations come to mind? Are they positive or negative? Do you know the how to sell effectively? If not, how do you plan to learn?

10. Be Resilient

Things rarely work out the way you planned and there will always be distractions and stumbling blocks that you have to deal with when you are on your road to success. The key point to remember is to persist and to develop the courage to move on even when everyone around you is telling you it is ok to give up. This does not mean stubbornly holding on to your original plan but rather continuing to pursue your goal as long as the reasons for doing so is still valid (Make sure you know the “Why” of what you want). When everything seems to be going wrong, keep in mind that “the road to success is paved with a thousand failures” so each failure actually brings you closer to where you want to be. If you have trouble being resilient, check out the 6 Effective Ways to Be Persistent.

How often to you quit because things got tough? Would you descrive yourself as an unshakeable optimist? Do you view problems as opportunities or warning signs? How do you view failure and are you making sure that you don’t make the one mistake people make when learning from their mistakes?

This is not an exhaustive list, but it does provide a good starting point. I would love to hear what tips you have found especially useful in both life and business in the comments section.

MAKE ONE MILLION NAIRA (N1,000,000) IN 2 MONTHS WITH THE QUICKSMART PROGRAM

Well, it is true, very legitimate and real. I was recently introduced to a program (Quick Smart Program) which can help you build a targeted email list of business people and at the same time empower and guarantees to make you 1,000,000 in 60 days. Yes you heard me right... One Million Naira in 2 months! Here is the catch... You will need to invest a token N2,000 and apply all the strategies outlined in Phase 2 of the program. 

Once you set it up, it becomes money making machine on auto-pilot that floods your bank account with avalanches of N1,000s while you are relaxing with your friends and family.

This program was operated with the U.S Dollar and the participation is just $20, but because you will need a PayPal account which Nigerians do not have access to, it has been a little bit modified and instead of using the U.S Dollar, we are using the Naira. Well, when my up line administered it in the beginning of March 2006 in Nigeria with a start up fee of N2,000 instead of $20... and boy he was glad he did. Check out below for his testimony:

==============================

The first week of participation was quite dull and full of questions from subscribers and by the third week I was blown away by my results. I made an incredible N43,000 and I keep receiving several One thousand Naira bill in my Bank account, I believe in a little time from now, I will make that N1,000,000 that the program promised. I was so excited by my results that I was practically telling everyone who knows me about the easiest way of making money from the internet here in Nigeria.

Below are more testimonials from foreigners who have benefited from the program:

==============================

Thanks to this profitable opportunity. I was approached many times before but each time I passed on it. I'm so glad I finally joined just to see what one could expect in return for minimal effort and money required. To my astonishment, I received a total $37,920 in 7 weeks with money still coming in.

New Jersey.

============================== 

This program has been around for a while but I never believed in it. But one day when I received this again in the mail, I decided to gamble my $20 on it. I followed the simple instructions and Walaa... 2 weeks later, the money started coming in. The first month, I only made $580 but the next 2 months after that, I made a total of $42,890.. So far, in the past 6 months by re-entering the program, I have made over $102,000 and I'm playing it again. The key to success with this program is to follow the simple steps and NOT change anything.

PHASE1

First take time to save PHASE1

Dear friend, you have nothing to lose. I've earned a lot of money from this program and I assure you, that you too will earn. The program is highly risk-free in the sense that once you join, we all become partners in progress. Here is the PHASE 1 of the program.

Please read through the program below:

Quick Smart - The Most Successful Program on the Web!

PHASE 1 -------- PLEASE YOU MAY PRINT OUT THIS MATERIAL FOR THOROUGH READING BECAUSE OF THE LENGTH AND VALUABLE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN.

This program is designed to make money via the internet quickly and honestly. It is quite new, yet already proven to be most effective. It is truly exciting, with many people now using it, and with so many more still to see it. This program is very powerful - a real money generator on the web! No other program comes close when you need money quickly and honestly.

You are guaranteed financial success with this opportunity because of the method used to confirm the honesty of each participant. However, when most of us first look at this program, we may think it's just another get rich quick scheme. But it isn't- by reading the details; you will see that it is quite different. And only about a week after starting, money will start rolling in quickly!

According to US Postal Service Lottery Codes: Title 18, section 1302 and 1341 state that this service is legal because we are building a mailing list. This is a FAIL-SAFE money making program where all cash receipts are verifiable in advance, because every participant is held accountable, every participant gets paid well, every participant is sure that nobody can cheat. That is why I choose to participate. I invite you to do likewise. Being fail-safe and cheat-proof, what have we got to lose? The power of the internet is here to be used. More and more people are using this program to create a substantial income quickly. Expect to earn up to N1,000,000 in the next 60 days.

We all know that internet money programs can really work, but most of us have major concerns about them because:

1. They are too complex, often requiring large investments.

2. They require real internet marketing experience.

3. There is usually no way of monitoring returns.

4. There is no way of eliminating cheaters.

5. Pay pal doesn’t work in Nigeria, etc.

This program solves all of these concerns! It is 100% certain that everyone will get paid for joining. This is because we require accountable e-mail addresses for all participants. The total cost for you to join is just two N1,000 Bills. (Not a lot, no matter your present financial position) BUT YOU SPEND NOTHING AT ALL UNTIL YOU GAIN e-mail confirmation that the sender of this letter has paid.

The fail-safe mechanism controls the program, so it's impossible for anyone to cheat. This way nobody gets hurt and everyone gets paid. All participants make the money they deserve for their efforts. Read on and you will see why and how.

The method of accountability used keeps everyone honest. We all get our money by building an easy and valuable MAILING LIST.

Too many programs before this have no fail-safe mechanism for protecting the honest participants from those who put their names on a list without sending any money. That is what causes such programs to ultimately fail. 

With this program, it is IMPOSSIBLE FOR SUCH CHEATING TO HAPPEN. If you decide to participate, you will be required to send two N1,000 Bills to just two of the people on the list shown below, with an email or phone call which ever you choose asking them to add your name to their mailing list and send you a copy of, "PHASE 2" More about that shortly.

Once you finish reading check the honesty of me that I have paid my N2,000. The very first step is to call the two people in the position #1 and #2 from the current accountability list below, and ask them if they have received their N1,000 from me. This is what makes the success of this program CERTAIN. You will not send money to me until you KNOW that I have paid the people in position 1 and 2. 

POSITION #1- NEKSUMMI MATTHIAS
FIRST BANK PLC
ACC NO: 3016935979
PHONE: 08063306838
EMAIL: ngsloans@gmail.com

POSITION #2 - RUKAIYATU YUSUF
FIRST BANK PLC
ACC NO: 3050803207
PHONE: 08164960601
EMAIL: rukzybarbie@gmail.com

The above are the two people I sent my N2,000 to. After paying them, I sent them an e-mail to add me to their mailing list.

After you have verified that I'm genuine and decide to participate, Go to the Bank of the person in position #3 (me), pay N1,000 Bill, text details of payment to me, such as Name, receipt number, date of payment, Branch of payment, Your email address and phone number, then include a note that reads:

"Please add my name to your Mailing List and rush

Phase 2 to me"

NOTE: Only the person in Position #3 supplies Phase 2, NEVER any other person.

POSITION #3- Adebayo Idowu

DIAMOND BANK PLC

ACC NO: 0028485064

PHONE: 08034486418

EMAIL: betterwayfortreasures@gmail.com

Next, go to the Bank of the person in position #4, pay N1,000 Bill, and send details of payment to his email address, such as: Name, receipt number, date of payment, Branch of payment, your email address and phone number, then include a note in the e-mail that reads:

"Please add my name to your Mailing List".

NOTE: There is no “and rush Phase 2 to me" in the 4th person’s message because it’s only the person in position #3 sends the Phase 2 information.

POSITION #4 –Matthias N.I.M Beauty
FIRST BANK PLC
ACC NO: 3049903237
PHONE: 08060088415
EMAIL: semenbakenni@gmail.com

If you do not have a bank account and you want to participate, you may consider opening one as fast you could. You can open an account with as little as N1,000.

If you need a beautifully created blog just like mine, pay an additional N1500 into my account and I'll have your blog done in 24 hours.

NOW IF YOU ARE DOING YOUR BLOG YOURSELF, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS EDIT YOUR COPY OF THIS LETTER AS FOLLOWS:

FIRST: Move the person currently in POSITION #4 to POSITION #2. Be sure all information is copied correctly and completely.

(The person originally in POSITION #2 is now dropped from the list, and has made their N1,000,000)!

SECOND: Move the person in POSITION #1 to POSITION #4 with all correct information.

THIRD: Move the person in POSITION #3 to POSITION #1 with all correct information.

FINALLY: Enter your name, complete bank details or home address if you don't have a bank account, and e-mail address in POSITION #3. Please also provide your name and e-mail address at the end of this letter. Remember, you only send the N1,000 Bill to the names in position #3 AND #4 on this letter.

DO NOT SEND MONEY TO THE NAMES IN POSITION #1 and #2.

NOTE: When typing your email address, please remember to be accurate. Double check! Once you start, there are two simple things you must do to make this work for maximum return in 2 months.

BE PATIENT at the start! It takes easily a week or so to really get up and going, and to start receiving lots of money in your Bank account or letter box. BUT THEY WILL COME! This is the internet! YOU WILL DEFINITELY MAKE A LARGE SUM OF MONEY WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, "JUST LIKE ME" and you will also have a mailing list service to use to further enrich yourself.

THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE MONEY FAST! It is very inexpensive to participate in, just compare it to the value of lottery tickets- where making money is next to impossible. Think of the power of the program running internationally.

FURTHER INFORMATION

You may already feel that this program is not what you thought at first, but still remain doubtful or a little unclear about whether or not to have a go. Unlike so many other programs you do not send money to four or five people for reports, recipes or disks or any other product. Nor do you risk losing your time and money.

This program is less demanding and does not take advantage of the Novice online marketer. Effectively, we all become a team - we know that we must follow the rules and that if our team works we all win.

This program has been set up so that you will succeed. If you do exactly as described, then you will succeed in this business. To compare this with the many uncontrolled programs:

First of all, this program has only four controlled levels -not five, six, seven or more uncontrolled levels like other programs.

When you first send this program out, you will soon get 20 –25 people who will send you N1,000 to join the mailing list and to commence their Phase 2. They will do this only after they confirm that you have paid your N2,000.

To account for curiosity seekers, and people who don't recognize the opportunity (not you of course!), let's say that only 10 people then actually pursue the program provided. These 10 people then put your name in the accountability list position #1, and their respondents will be asking you if they paid their N1,000. Their active participants will then move your name to position #4, WHERE YOU WILL BE RECIEVING N1,000 Notes from 10 x 10 x 10 people. That's a total of 1,000 people. 1000 x N1,000 = N1,000,000. (One Million Naira)!

You may think that it will be difficult to attain this; the strategies outlined in Phase 2 will make it easier for you to EASILY GET 20 -50 people in less than one week, WITHOUT YOU MEETING OR TALKING TO THESE PEOPLE. At the same time, you will only spend about 2 hours of work setting it up, after that people will come to you to get registered and pay you, not you going to people. No other program come this close in EASILY MAKING YOU A MILLION NAIRA IN 60 DAYS!

Once set up, it now runs on Auto-Pilot pouring in Avalanches of N1,000s into your Bank account daily. All you do is spend ONLY 30 minutes daily replying people online that you have been paid several N1,000s. Because this is done on the internet, it moves very quickly.

Therefore, you only need 10 ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS who actually promote this program to reach your target. The information in Phase 2 gives you Sure-Fire Strategies to get 20 - 50 people in a week's time. Think of what will happen if 20 of these people become active to the 3rd level, it can give you an easy N8,000,000 in 60 days, but to be conservative, our target is N1,000,000 in 60 days! Once you receive your N1,000 from people, make sure you send out PHASE 2 to them. At this point, all you will have to do will be to answer the e-mails saying, "YES, I have been paid"

NOTE: Be sure to keep a record of those who have paid and added to your mailing list, and respond very quickly to verifications requests. I will suggest you keep a record of everyone who has paid in different folders in your mail Notepad.

The first will be those who have asked you for PHASE 2 and to be added to your mailing list (your direct down line), and the second will be those who have just asked to be added to your mailing list. When you have been asked to verify somebody, just go to the folder in your mail notepad and scroll down after opening it search for that person's name.

Remember that you may send this program to people who send you similar programs. Many such people are keen and active users of opportunities sent to them, and this one is safe, fast and simple. It will not appeal to cheats, yet be great for anyone looking for a VERY low cost fun investment.

SUMMARY OF THE SIMPLE STEPS TO FOLLOW:

FIRST: Save the whole of this letter as PHASE 1, somewhere in your e-mail box, where you can edit the changes. (Names, Addresses, Bank info, E-Mail addresses and Positions).

SECOND: Get two N1,000 Bill/note and Rush to pay People in Positions #3 and #4 respectively (N1,000 each) with an e-mail request to join their mailing list. NOTE: That cost is your only financial risk.

THIRD: Update the names on the list carefully, as detailed above. Your name, Home address or Bank details and E-Mail address, names in POSITION #3 (where mine is now). You then wait for PHASE 2 to arrive in your e-mail box from me. This will be sent the same day that I confirm that you have actually paid your N1,000.

HOW YOUR NAME MOVES THROUGH THE SYSTEM:

FIRST: Your name starts at position #3 in Phase 1 - to all of the people who get your business opportunity. PHASE 2 will help you to easily reach your target of 20 - 50 people in one week.

SECOND: You will email PHASE 2 out to each person who has sent you N1,000. You will be instructing your respondents to place your name in POSITION #1. You will then begin receiving inquiries from others asking if you have been paid your N1,000. You will keep track of all those who have paid. You won't be receiving much at this stage (just the N1,000 you received from each person in Phase 1, which will be from N10,000 - N25, 000 or more).

THIRD: Those people who have just enquired as to whether payment was made to you will be getting another 10 or more people to participate, and your name will then be in POSITION #4. This is when you will receive the BIG MONEY!

LAST: Your name will be in position #2, where you will again be receiving enquiries, and you will be likely to answer at this point YES, I'M N1,000,000 RICHER. Many will then participate and make money also. Participation is all that we require for success. Isn't this a brilliant Business? We really have the best, because we have created a fool-proof and cheat-proof system where everybody has accountability.

Your small investment of two N1,000 Bills will reward you with N1,000,000 or more! Once again please email me if you have any questions. None of us will go back for a new beginning.

But, we learn and grow, so all of us are able to make a new start. Just do it! Good fortune to all of you who participated - and have fun! Once you have decided that you are going to make N1,000,000 in the next 60 days, you have checked the accountability of me, and have paid your N2, 000; you will be ready to start preparing for Phase 2. Do you see how easy it is for you to make your first N1,000,000 in 60 days? If you don't think it is easy, or don't completely understand it, then read over until you do.

If you still want some help, then don't hesitate in sending me an e-mail or calling me with the numbers below. Do NOT ignore this. Your Financial Future might depend on it.

DON'T GET ME WRONG, I BELIEVE IN HARD WORK BUT IT'S NO LONGER THE DETERMINANT OF FINANCIAL SUCCESS. SMARTNESS AND INFORMATION IS THE RIGHT WAY.

Many Blessings,

Wishing you all the best on the Web!

And of course expect Success Always!
