What if I told you that you have always had the secret to success right in your hands? Most people would pay an arm and a leg to read or hear about other people’s success process not realizing how much value there is in their very own personal and professional experiences.
There is nothing wrong with taking lessons from others especially if you do not have a personal success journey you can refer to. However, here is the secret, you can take lessons from your very own success process. You may be wondering why it is called ‘the secret to success’. It will only remain a secret to you if you do not document your success process and start to execute it. If you have not yet documented your success process, you are sitting on a goldmine.
The Untapped Goldmine
A goldmine? Really? You got it right! Your undocumented success process is an unexploited and highly valuable resource. Corporates know this too well and that is why they will always require documentation of any strategy or process.
Documenting a successful process enables you to replicate the same positive results. The document also becomes an invaluable resource you can use to train others and make some good money while doing so.
Create Your Very Own Success Process
So, is it a key or a road map to success? That is not as important as the fact that documenting your success journey is a must-do. Tighten your seatbelt and take out your journal as you are about to get a life-transforming mind shift.
Coming up with your success process isn’t as complex as it may sound. You can tap into your goldmine today by taking these easy steps to come up with your personal success process.
Identify Your Transferable Skills
I can not emphasize enough the immense value that your skills and experiences have. To create your road map to success, write down the roles you have held in the last 5 years, be they professional or otherwise. Pick the two roles you think you excelled in the most. While doing so, also indicate 1 or 2 important achievements in each of these roles.
Reflect on the process of how you achieved each goal. You can write this down, step by step, and come up with up to 6 steps or more of how you got there. There is no special way of doing this. Remember you are the author of this success process and you can therefore record it any way you like.
Trace the Bee Line
If you knew a direct route to success, wouldn’t you take it? Documenting your success process step by step saves you all the trouble of taking unnecessary detours. Identify the pattern in the things you have done before to help you achieve your goals for example a regimen you applied, a professional you consulted, a tool you used, and write it down.
As you reflect on what you did right to achieve a previous goal, you will be developing a roadmap that will lead to your present success. Isn’t this mind-blowing?
Fast-forward to the present
You can now confidently review your current action plan and integrate your success process. With your documented success process in hand, you will be unstoppable.
Your personal success process is the one you will relate to the most. Remember, the process is not cast in stone. You have the liberty to review and rewrite your personal success process to your satisfaction.
Execute! Execute! Execute!
I had to say it thrice not just because three is a charm 😀 but to emphasize the importance of putting into practice what you have documented. How else will you know that the process truly works?
Secondly, you must be consistent in executing the steps in your documented success process to see results. One way to be intentional about executing this process is to include your new action plan in your daily planner. Commit at least 25 days to test your success process.
How exciting to know that you have taken out the guesswork from your journey to success. You now have the key to success! Yay!
