4 Steps To Everlasting Riches: Business vs Personal

Ever desire or wonder how to attain everlasting riches? I came across this simple article posted by Prince Ben, a wealth creation expert, motivational speaker and best-selling author who help people to achieve their goals in life. Ben quoted the following four important steps to attaining everlasting riches:

1. You need to know what your real dreams are:

For you to achieve everlasting riches in life you need to know what your real dreams are. You also have to be specific and detailed about your dreams. You must be specific about what exactly you want to achieve in life. It is also very important to create a detailed action plan to reach your goals in life successfully

2. Positive Thinking

This has been said so many times and quite a number of people are tired of hearing it. As long as we live on this planet earth, the truth will always be said. Positive thinking is the simplest road to everlasting riches. Whatever your mind can conceive is what you are going to achieve, either positive or negative; failure or success. Stay away from thought concerning failure and never associate yourself with negative people.

3. Everlasting riches require action and more actions

Quoting Dayo Olomu from his best selling-book, 4 Indispensable Strategies for Success. He said the most important key to success is Action. Resolve to take action everyday towards the actualization of your dream. Never let a day go by without you having done something that moves you one steps closer to your most cherished goal. Life reward actions. What we do determine what we get. My message has always been and will always be that if you want anything in life you must first determine the actions that will get you there and then you must take immediate action.” He concluded.

4. Acquire knowledge

Knowledge is a powerful tool toward success in life. Try to continually acquire new skills and do what it takes to learn. You must be ready to acquire new skills in order to sharpen the existing one. Successful people seek after knowledge at any given time in life."

In my view, although the above may not be the full exhaustive list to make one achieve everlasting riches, they indeed form the basic key necessities to getting one. In fact, there is no difference between attaining personal riches against business riches. Just think about how businesses that continuously do well have in common: they all believe in setting corporate mission and goals. The goals lead to financial planning and budgets, which will then determine how they could strategize to make the targeted income and how they should spend the money wisely on their businesses. Imagine without a goal, it's like shooting blind folded, one can only "hope" the best will come! It's simply OUT OF YOUR HANDS!

With goals, people who indulged in sales will then go the extra mile to make sure that their sales targets are achieved, in the midst of intense competition. There will be full of challenges in order to win in the highly competitive landscape. As such, it is important that both management and sales people, in particular, must be equipped with the right knowledge and positive thinking to outdo the competition and to win the hearts of your customers.

Finally, an Action Plan is what one needs to fulfill the goals, the business plan and the related sales strategies. An action plan would be regularly scrutinized and reviewed for optimum results.
To many people who are either in business or working as an employee, the above steps are mission-critical. Therefore, they are not options but a must for execution. The strange thing is while one can apply these easily in business, it is not often one will apply the same in their personal capacity. Why is that the case?

It's back to the matter of "State of Mind". When one treats a matter as optional, people tend to procrastinate and taken lightly. However, when one treats the matter as "life and death", simply means, it's not optional anymore but to succeed, people will do all they can and go the extra mile to achieve something. This is why while the process and objectives are the same, application to business and personal capacity is entirely different.

Even if all of us understand the importance of executing these 4 simple steps, i can bet not everyone will be able to execute them well, mainly because of different emotions and state of mind. For many, they are more interested in making excuses in justifying to themselves or to other people why they should not follow certain steps or cannot be successful!

For me, i understood the importance of these processes but it also took me quite a while before i put them into real execution! However, once i started following the processes, i truly comprehend why this will lead our lives to greater heights, and YES, it is no difference whether one applies them in personal or corporate life!
