The 7 Principles of Success

By Onibalusi

Are you having problem being successful both online and offline? Are you not comfortable with your present state? Do you think you need a liberation or momentum? Then you need to know the 7 principles of success and things will turn around!

principles of success
1. The right mindset: “Fail in this- Fail in all”. For you to be successful, you need to have the right mindset. Your thinking has to change, your orientation has to change, you have to drop the normal mindset with which you are born and take up a new one. You have to be different and unique in your mindset, you have to have a creative mindset, you have to change the way you think. You have to have a bright view of success you have to have a positive thought of you already being successful. You have to unlock this great key of success in your life- you have to have the right mindset.

2. Prepare to fail: You just have to prepare to fail, it might sound funny but this is nothing different from the truth. You can never be successful without being a failure- I know so many of you disagree with this and I am willing to hear your view in the comments section. You have to have it in your mind that you can fail at anytime, afterall you are not “MASTER JESUS”, you not perfect you are a human being just as I am so you are bound to fail, you are bound to deal with mistakes… but how you deal with your mistakes and failure is what matters most. Do not expect to be successful without failing; you are going to fail so that you will not fail when you are successful. Every failure and mistakes you experience is for the development of your body, spirit and soul, it is for your own benefit but as I said earlier, how you deal with your mistake is what matters most.

3. Take action: How long will you stop being a dreamer? How long will you stop wishing yourself? How long will you stop imagining yourself as being there? You have to take action, Irrespective of what you know about something, you don’t know anything except you are tested and the beginning of the test is your taking action. It is when you take action that you begin to fail and make mistakes, after you make mistakes and fail you then discover that you are not there yet and that you don’t know what you think you know. Take action today, you don’t know where you are until you take action. Stop filling your self with so many junks out there; take that first step that will forever change your life.

4. Acknowledge your mistakes: As human beings, we are all bound to make mistake and therefore no single one of us is perfect. You have to acknowledge the fact that you are not above mistake, you have to acknowledge the fact that you made that mistake, you have to acknowledge the fact that you caused yourself that trouble (if truly you did so), because you can only improve on your mistakes when you acknowledge that you made it. Believe you are imperfect and watch out for your mistakes, try to improve on them and you are a few steps to achieving success

5. Learn from your mistakes: You need to learn from your mistakes, you need to try to improve yourself, you know you are not perfect! Aren’t you trying to work towards perfection? Do you still want to be the same as you always are? Ou have to learn from your mistakes, you have to work towards the improvement of yourself, you have to try to overcome those mistakes and you are few steps away from success.

6. Persistence: This is a great key that is mostly used by children, you have to be persistent on getting some things you want, you just don’t have to believe in fate and forget all about the future, you have to work persistently towards getting what you want. Don’t you remember that your children often use this key to get something from you; they cry and cry and cry until you give them. You don’t have to cry! You have to work persistently towards getting some things you need you just don’t have to quit early, success takes time (at least for it to last).


7. Success: The 7th key to success is success itself. Apply all the steps above effectively and then sit down and eat the fruit of your reward. Do you have any negative or positive views? Share your thoughts in the comment section. Tweeting and bookmarking of this post will really be appreciated.

    I loved the take action principle, tomorrow always looks like such an attractive time to start something, and yet we know it will never come, fear of failing can greatly paralyze someone, and the saddest thing is that failing is always frowned upon, yet we learn by failing! This is post has just come in time to for me, I have been putting off guest posting for a month now afraid of being turned away but I will not let fear rule me again…thanks for the gentle nudge!
