 The 10 Steps to Learning From Your Past Mistakes

 The 10 Janet Schlarbaum Steps By Tony Hall.

I’ve written before about how I strongly believe that in life you should have no regrets. Quite simply you cannot change what has gone before so why waste time regretting what you cannot alter? But that’s not to say that you should ignore the things you have done in the past that went wrong or those occasions when you made mistakes. Instead you should always be prepared to learn from them and so take something positive from all of your experiences.

So I’m going to ask you to look back, just for a moment. Bring to mind something from your past where things went wrong or you believe you made a mistake or failed to achieve what you wanted to do. It may even be that something continues to play on your mind and so possibly prevents you from doing today the things that you really desire. You may have to go back to your childhood or it could just as easily be something that happened in the last week that it is still really bugging you.

Whatever it is be open and honest with yourself and then follow these 10 simple steps:

Step 1

Write down exactly what happened with as much detail as you can. Be precise and try not to let any feelings you have about the incident cause you to edit or leave out important facts.

Step 2

Define what part you had in the incident. What actions did you take, were they deliberate acts, or were they things you were persuaded or even forced to do by someone else?

Step 3

Define who else was involved and what they actually did. It’s important to be completely honest and, for instance, identify whether someone may have prevented you from doing something or perhaps tried to stop you from taking a particular course of action.

Step 4

Ask yourself truthfully what you could have done differently that would have resulted in a better outcome. Be thorough because it may only be a little thing but it could make all the difference in the future.

Step 5

Identify what anyone else involved could have done differently and what you could have done to help them to do so. Be prepared to admit where you were at fault including by maybe just standing by and letting something happen.

Step 6

Define what the best outcome would have been for everyone concerned.

Step 7

Having followed the steps so far, now write a plan for how you would achieve the desired outcome in the event of the incident occurring today. Be clear and concise in the steps you would take and how you would interact with anyone else involved.

Step 8

Write a list of all the things you have learned by carrying out this exercise. Once again you must ensure you are honest with yourself and don’t ignore things that might be less then palatable to you.

Step 9

Identify how the things you have learned can help you to achieve the goals you have and what additional things you need. Establish clearly what you have learned about your strengths and weaknesses and how you can act upon them.

Step 10

Write a clear plan as to what you are going to do in order to put to use what you have learned. Only by setting and following well thought out, well-planned, and written goals will you achieve what you want in life.

Responsibility – Taking Charge of Your Success

Taking Charge of Janet Schlarbaum Success By Jerry Robkoff.

Be it in life or in business, we all end to start falling into ruts. Things either become a plateau, which means it doesn’t get better nor worse. Or, even worse, things start to slowly deteriorate, and we wonder what is happening and who or what’s to blame for this sudden or ever growing downturn.

The greatest asset and tool for anyone, wanting to expand and grow is to create positive change in whatever it is they are involved with. However, before that can even occur, it is vital that YOU take responsibility for that change and the action that will cause it. By taking responsibility, this means you are in full agreement and acceptance of the actions you are taking to create that change. It is so easy to lay the blame on things we feel we can’t control or on people we feel are either “out to get us” or beyond our reach. I hate to hit you with some cold reality, but that excuse just doesn’t cut it.

The ONLY way change is going to happen in your life is when YOU DECIDE to make it happen. It must be a very conscious and deliberate act. If you’re waiting for your ship to come in, let me tell you, it left port a lonnnng time ago. If you’re counting on luck, that lady is out dancing with someone else. And if you think someone or something is going to suddenly appear and wave the magic wand, you’re in a state of pure delusion, and you may want to seek out a good therapist.

You are the only one who is capable of changing things in your life. You really do have that power, but you must embrace it and accept it. You can, of course, change things for the worse, and that is also a definite decision on your part. However, I think it’s safe to assume that we want to create positive changes in our life and business.

The formula is really very simple. Map out your plan of action and decide to do it. By “mapping” I mean get a piece a paper and a pen and WRITE YOUR GOALS AND DESIRED RESULTS DOWN! I’m sure you’ll agree with the statement: “If it isn’t in writing,it isn’t so.” Don’t wait for that special moment or sign to happen. The truth is, if you realize that a change is needed, you’ve already received your epiphany, so run with it.

It’s perfectly ok to seek out help should your plan of action call for that. Just remember, though, it’s still up to you to implement and create your results.

Your Must-Know Number One Critical Success Factor

Number One Janet Schlarbaum Critical Success Factor By Shawn Lim.

Do you want to be successful? What do you mean by successful? For some people, being successful simply means having more friends. While for some people, being successful means having great amount of wealth. No matter what definition you give, there is one critical success factor that will determine your success.

In everything you do, without this success factor, you will never achieve what you want. It is the main source of motivation that will keep you going on. Even with great obstacles, if you have this critical success factor, you will overcome everything that lies in front of you, you will do whatever it takes to achieve it.

So do you want to find out this factor? It is this; you must put in 100% responsibility for everything you do. No matter who you are in the world today, you must put in 100% responsible in your life. When you fail to achieve something, you need to be responsible for it. It is because of you, that you fail to achieve it.

When you put in 100% responsibility, you will have the power of control, you will have the power to change, and therefore, you will be able to achieve much more. Just like if you fail to score an A in your exam, who will you blame? Are you going to blame your lecturer for not teaching you with the right material? Or are you going to blame the one who sets up the question because it is just too tough?

You know that if you blame all the external things outside your control, you will never have the power to change it. However, if you take the responsibility and tell yourself that it is because you are not putting serious effort in your study and you promise yourself that you will improve and learn from this experience, do you think you will improve?

Of course you will, this is why you need to take 100% responsibility in everything you do. If you are not taking the responsibility, instead, you put the responsibility on other external factor; you will lose the power to control the situation. When this happened, you will never have the control power to change the situation. So learn to take 100% responsibility in your journey to success.

This is the number one critical success factor that you must take charge of if you want to improve the quality of your life. All else is insignificant if you do not possess this key to success.

The Secret Of Personal Success

By Linos M David

There are many secrets in life. Though scientists have been conducting researches on human mind and body, they have not yet succeeded in totally revealing the mystery regarding them. There are certain secrets lying behind personal success also.

Earnest desire is the most important quality needed for achieving success in life. The raw materials, opportunity, resources, wealth etc are more than enough in this world. Personal success does not depend on chance, destiny, luck or good fortune. Rather it depends on goal setting, hard work, discipline, vision, responsibility etc. Human mind has tremendous potential. Our sub conscious mind acts as the life guidance system in leading us towards our goals and dreams. The most important thing that we should possess in order to become successful is to have specific aims and dreams. Our sub conscious mind should be fed with our aims in short phrases. If such phrases are repeated constantly our mind will lead us to our destination.

Success does not come overnight. It needs perseverance. Personality development, knowledge accumulation etc are indispensable for achieving success.

Success Can Be Achieved by Persistence As Much As by Cleverness!

By John Watson

Recently, I heard a self-defence instructor describe how it took him a year to understand how to successfully throw someone of any size over his hip. This hip throw is now one of his favourite throws. He had not given up trying to master this throw but had stayed with the problem until he had conquered it. That is probably why he is an instructor rather than an ordinary student. Persistence helped him succeed. Most average self-defence students would not be ready to spend a year learning to do one technique really well. They would turn their attention to something newer and more interesting to them after a few minutes let alone an entire year.

To become extraordinary, people need to show extraordinary persistence, patience and focus. Even Albert Einstein, the great physicist, credited his persistence rather than his cleverness with his success in solving problems: “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” Many computer owners lose patience and fail to master the software they are using. I bought Mailloop, a powerful email software solution, several years ago but have not got round to using it even once. I failed to stay with the problem of learning how to use it.

I use aWeber, as my current autoresponder but I only use a small part of its powers as I have yet to study it for any length of time. I know enough to send you this email but that is about it! How, then, do I have the cheek to write to you suggesting you stay with your problems longer? Because I write to myself as much as to you or anyone else. If I waited until I actually followed my own advice, I would be in my coffin before I had written a single article! I am hoping that my own advice will eventually filter through deep into my subconscious and cause me to take consistent action. I hope it will do the same for you.

Good advice needs to be heard again and again until we take action on it. There are, for example, many articles on persistence but another one is always worth writing or reading for those who have failed to persist in some important aspect of their lives. If, like me, you have bought many cookbooks but failed to follow through on more than one or two recipes, keep trying. Spend a longer time on the problem. My brother is a great role model for me in this. He often borrows one of my numerous cook books and actually makes the effort to head down to the shops and buy all the ingredients and then painstakingly prepare them for a meal. He spends much, much longer on mastering the art of cooking than I do. My brother has become such an expert that my stepbrother will only eat a meal cooked by him. He laughs when I suggest he try some of my spaghetti bologna and will only visit my house when my brother is around to do the cooking!

I am happy to spend money on every new cook book that comes out but, when it comes to reading them and using them, I am not yet ready to spend the necessary time. Spending money is easy. Spending time isn’t. I have spent thousands of pounds or dollars on internet courses but have failed even to open many of them. Buying the courses is easy; studying and applying them is not so easy.

Of course, some people do not persist because they believe they will not succeed. They should persist anyway as that is the only way they will find out if they can succeed. If they do persist they may well discover that they can succeed beyond their wildest dreams. Try then, to spend much more time sorting out any problem that confronts you, whether it is trying to throw someone to the ground or learning how to put video on your website or developing the ability to cook a great meal. You may well be delighted with the results.
