Orison Swett MardenNew Year’s is a time for resolutions, and according to SUCCESS, there is no better time design the person you want to become and the life you want to live in 2008.

Publisher and Editorial Director of SUCCESS magazine, Darren Hardy, offers the following advice on how to make 2008 your best year ever !

1. Decide to be Successful - Success is not a dream, hope or fantasy. It’s a
decision. Make the decision to change, improve and act on your ambitions.

2. Design your Best Year Yet - As an architect would design a skyscraper, write out the goals, plans and actions it will take to achieve the life you want to live.

3. Identify Your Passion - What are your unique interests, talents and gifts ? Passion attracts success. Find what you love to do - you will never “work” again.

4. Program Yourself for Success - You will see, perceive, expect and create what you think about. To program your mind for success, read, watch and listen to materials that will support your success.

5. Surround Yourself with Success - You are the combined average of the five people you hang around the most. Surround yourself with healthy, success-minded achievers.

6. Model Success - The best way to learn to be successful at anything is to find someone who is where you want to be and model their success habits.

7. Master the Fundamentals - Don’t complicate it. About a half a dozen things make up 90%+ of what it takes to be successful at anything. Keep it simple. You know I like simple.

8. Get Fit - The mind cannot achieve what the body cannot perform. Your family, friends and career and future depend on your good health. Make it priority No. 1.

9. Remember What’s Important - At the end of the journey what will have mattered most will be your relationships with the people you love and those that love you. Make sure they are on your goal list for 2008.

10. Make a Difference - What do you want your life’s legacy to be ? You have the power to make a positive difference to a single person, a neighborhood, a community, a nation, the world. Realize that power in 2008.

Good input. The simplicity of success is to offten lost in a world of complex training, sales tricker and magic bullets. We (sales managers, sales reps, marketing managers, etc..)make something simple, difficult.

Thanks Johnny.

If you can find a cure for people wanting to make things more difficult than they have to be, you’ll be richer than imaginable !
