How to be successful

you’ve got to give to get you’ve got to
put out not just money that’s easy
especially when you’ve got it but you’ve
got to put out in time and effort and
friendliness to ever will get you far
but it also takes wisdom to truly
succeed hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be learning that our success is not
necessarily measured by our achievements
at the workplace from the author of how
to succeed in anything by really trying
success is personal you have to set your
own goals you have to have your own plan
you can’t be comparing yourself to other
people and you measure your success
against how close are you to reaching
your own potential to reaching those
goals that you’ve set for yourself you
mentioned there’s a large contingent of
people who don’t know what successes
what is success to you I always judge my
own success not necessarily by where I
am but how far have I come and how many
hurdles have I had to overcome to get to
where I am and then if I’m close to
whatever that goal was alright I’m
successful if I reach it on long-term
successful and how do we achieve success
you mentioned some tools that we should
follow first you have to define it in
your in your own terms and then you you
achieve that by as the title suggests by
working very hard success does not come
easily if something happens and it’s
real easy I was probably luck but even

successful workaholic and one of the
reasons why no amount of success at the
office can compensate for failure at
home can you explain to us the
importance of networking it’s absolutely
critical in business and it’s important
anywhere the problem with this that a
lot of folks think that there’s
something wrong with that there’s
nothing wrong with it if you do it
correctly and the correct way to do it
is by helping others in your network you
can help other people become successful
and then they in turn will help you
become successful what characteristics
would you say are important to achieve
success enthusiasm this is an extremely
important one if you do something with
enthusiasm you can do it forever you
have to have a passion for what you’re
doing and passion and enthusiasm aren’t
necessarily the same things you have to
believe that maybe I can do this I think
the person who says that I can do
anything they’re just setting themselves
up for you know a whole lot of
heartbreak but the person who says yeah
maybe I can do that that’s that’s
another really important characteristic
in success because the minute I say I
can’t do that then I can’t if I say
maybe I can well maybe I can
