2 Critical Keys To Your Success

Two critical keys to your success are simple.
It's clarity and consistency.
Without clarity about what you want, how are you going to pursue it?
"Duh Damon that's not news" you might be thinking.
But are you really clear about what you want and the deeper values driving your motivation?
Most people aren't.
Most people don't even know the difference between what they truly want and what they think they should want.
Do you want to own a nice sports car because it will impress others and they will treat you differently or do you just really love sports cars and you would want one even if it wouldn't impress anyone else?
Get honest with yourself.
Do you want to be a millionaire? Why?
Do you really need that much money or would you be perfectly happy with a six figure income and prefer to dedicate more time and attention to other pursuits than making ten times that?
How do you get clear about what you want?
Wouldn't it be nice to figure all of this out in your head or on paper like a math equation, come up with the perfect answer, and then pursuit it with nothing to lose?
Life just doesn't work that way.
If you want to get clear about what you want it will require taking action. You will need to try things to gain clarity about what you want. Nothing can take the place of experience no matter how much you try to think it over first.
This will include trying things that don't work and failing at various endeavors. Sure it doesn't feel good but as long as you stay connected to your values you can get through any failure and keep moving forward.
Sometimes you have to take wrong turns in order to discover what the right turns are.
Use the NLP Well Formed Outcome Process and the NLP Values Elicitation to help you with this.
We all want to cross the finish line and win the race before we even run it, but it just doesn't happen that way, which is why you need to implement consistency and be patient.
Consistency will get you where you want to go. Consistently doing the right actions over a long enough period of time can accomplish anything.
Think about just doing two to three new things daily or even weekly to move you closer to what you want. What will that be like in a year? What about ten years from now?
One thing you know is that time passes quickly so instead of letting it pass quickly and not having what you want in a few years from now, start implementing consistent actions that will exponentially grow over that time so you have something to show for it.
How do you know if it's the right actions?
This is where clarity comes in. Use clarity to guide your actions.
Also what you want can change and usually does as you get more and more of what you want.
This is an ongoing and ever evolving process. As you get what you want and what you want changes, you will need to change up your consistent actions.
Check back and forth with clarity and with the consistent actions you're taking to make sure they're serving your overall purpose.
Clarity + Consistency + More Clarity + Adjusting Consistent Actions = Success
