Taking a running start is the hardest part. We know how to do it. Follow these 30 steps and move towards your goal. If you do everything right and do not miss a single step, you will no longer be stopped.

Do not think - do

Stop thinking. You already know what to do and you know how to do it. What's stopping you?

Tim Grover personal trainer for Michael Jordan

Instead of analyzing and thinking, take action. Listen to feelings, trust yourself completely, and rely on instincts. You make all the right decisions with your intuition. All the wrong ones arise as a result of unwillingness to listen to the inner voice.

As soon as you start thinking, know: you have already lost. Reflection slowly but surely leads you astray.

Be prepared for anything, and then you can freely rely on instinct

Hone your craft. While others are resting, you should practice and perfect your skills. Develop. By learning to do things automatically, you can freely break the rules and create something new.

When consciousness is on the alert, time seems to slow down for you. You see a lot more than others. While others are trying to grasp the situation and find the right solution, you can modify reality the way you want.

Money is a bad motivator

It's nice to surround yourself with beautiful things, let's not hide it. But it's better if there is simply no outside motivation, like money or prestige. Even if you remove these catalysts, you still need to test yourself, break the boundaries of the possible, strive for more.

Do you know why? When you get money or power, it cannot spoil you. And this happens to many people.

Never be content with the result

Even after you reach your goal, do not stop. Now you need to go even further and find out how hardy, capable and tireless you are.

Rejoice at what you got and just keep moving forward.

Control everything and always

Unlike those who depend on external factors, you can completely control what happens to your body and how you spend your time. Act according to your instincts, not impulses. You know that the fact that you can do something does not mean at all that you will do it. And if you do, it will be because you want it, and not because you have to.

Don't lie to yourself

About 70% of Americans admit they hate their jobs. Only one in three US residents considers themselves happy. I think the statistics for Russia will show approximately the same data.

Respect yourself and live your life the way you like it. If you feel like your life is going in the wrong direction, turn off. Immediately.

Don't relax

Most people are only able to withstand pressure in small doses. As soon as the opportunity arises, these people begin to relax.

But not you. You cannot ease the pressure. On the contrary, gradually increase it. This will help you stay always alert, always active.

Don't be afraid of the consequences of mistakes

Most people do not want to climb too high: they are afraid that it will hurt to fall. You, preferring high flight, expose yourself to great danger. And that's good, that's right. If something goes wrong, you simply mark the event as a mistake, adjust and fly on.

Don't compete with others. Let them compete with you

Take a look around. People compete with other people every day. They constantly compare themselves to those around them. Without noticing it, they repeat after others, trying to find the "secret of success."

Try to step back from this competition. It is completely meaningless to you. It leads you astray. Get rid of extraneous noise, concentrate on what is important. Let others now try to keep up with you.

Don't stop learning

Ordinary people are looking for entertainment. Extraordinary individuals try to learn something new. If you want to be the best at what you do, don't stop learning. Hone your skills. Increase knowledge.

This baggage is your advantage.

Let's be honest: Few people want to work that hard and hard to keep up with you.

Success is not enough

Many people dream of being “successful”. But this should not be enough for you. Having achieved some success, you should run forward faster, feel the pressure and tension increase.

Have you reached your goal? Great, now focus on the next one.

Don't let success break you down

“Success can be a catalyst for failure,” says Greg McKeown, author of the bestselling Essentialism.

People don't stand the test of success, power, or privilege. All this destroys people, makes them lazy. Because an ordinary person, getting what he wanted, stops and stops acting.

But there are no such scenarios for you. You are your own supervisor and you evaluate yourself. No one can push you harder than yourself. And it's not about that specific goal. After all, after it will be the next, and then - another one. And only you know when to stop.

Make the most of your defeat

“Admitting mistakes, taking responsibility and developing a plan for new challenges - only a successful team can do that,” says Jocko Willink, author of a book on leadership based on personal experience with the SEAL.

Don't blame. Make no illusions. Only the cold, terrible truth. Defeated? Accept this. Only the ability to take responsibility and draw conclusions will provide the path to freedom and control.

Let your work speak for you

Job well done:

• rare;
• valuable;
• original (it will be difficult to copy).

Qualities of a poorly done job:

• ordinary;
• is of little value;
• anyone can do that.

The chatter costs nothing. Anyone can do it. It is easy to reproduce and of questionable value. On the other hand, a job well done is so rare that it starts to speak for itself and will never go unnoticed.

Work on your mental toughness

“Psychological resilience is undoubtedly one of the most important skills of a high-class professional, and it needs to be developed. For me, I look over and over again for new ways to become more psychologically resilient. When I feel uncomfortable, I try not to avoid it, but to come to terms with it,”says Josh Weitzkin.

The better you work under hard pressure, the further you can go. Others will break, you will simply move forward.

The best training you can give yourself is psychological. Whatever you teach your mind, the body will understand. Where your thoughts go, life goes there.

Confidence is your main weapon

You've probably heard that a marathon is more psychological than physical. A person's ability to run tens of kilometers or do something else, no less difficult, is a reflection of his self-confidence, not his talents and inclinations.

Your confidence is determined by:

• the scale of the goal;
• the likelihood of achieving it;
• the ability to experience failure.

If you are not confident in yourself, you will never achieve anything. If you have remarkable confidence, no matter how many times you make a mistake, you will still be successful.

Surround yourself with people with whom you can look into the future, rather than those who remind you of the past

If you surround yourself with people reminiscent of the past, it will be very difficult to move forward. That is why we get stuck in a certain role and it is so difficult to get out of it.

Surrounding yourself with those you want to be like, you seem to abandon your own past and start living from scratch. Now you are creating yourself.

Let go, but don't forget

You need to get rid of your emotional baggage. But this does not mean that you need to forget about those who offended or betrayed you. Forgive them, but do not erase them from your memory - just so that you will never have anything to do with such people.

Set clear goals

You need to set specific goals. For example, write 500 words a day, sell 100 products a month. Only then can you evaluate the result and understand whether you got what you wanted. Long-term goals can be a little blurry - then they are more motivating and less intimidating. With regard to short-term goals, here you need to be extremely honest and set yourself very specific goals.

React instantly. Do not analyze

Teach yourself to act exactly when you need it. Stop internal dialogue. Don't analyze. Do not ask "why is this all to me." Just go for it.

Simpler is better

If you cannot explain it in simple terms, you yourself do not understand well enough.

Albert Einstein

It is very easy to be difficult. Most words in science and business are too difficult to understand. Behold, no matter how difficult it is. This is where truth is, and it is in simplicity.

A very small percentage of people are able to tell you the truth. Ask a question, and, most likely, you will hear in response: "Well, everything is not so simple here" or "You see, there are many points of view on this problem …"

Wisdom is timeless. Wisdom lies in simplicity.

Do not envy other people's successes

You should wish the best for everyone. Even for those you consider your rivals. Jealousy and envy are feelings that come from your ego and are based on fear.

Why should you rejoice in other people's victories? Why not. Someone else's success has nothing to do with yours. You are in control of yourself. And you are different from other people. They don't know what you can do. They don't know what you know. You have unique abilities that you can use. This is exactly what you should do.

Take every chance

Every unused chance is a failure. Most people do not use even half of the opportunities that come up because they are afraid of losing.

The only way to achieve success is to stop thinking and start accepting the challenges of fate. Not when it is convenient or desirable for you. Is always.

Focus on the process of work, not the result

When you start to get something worthwhile, it’s very easy to relax and start going with the flow.

Continue to practice, bring the skill to the ideal. And never forget what the road was worth until this very moment.

Do everything ten times more

Most people gradually increase their activity. Their goals increase slightly. They just get a little smarter and faster. You need to be ahead of the curve and increase your power tenfold at once.

The question is only one: do you really want to achieve this new, distant, big goal?

It's nice to amuse yourself with thoughts of what will happen if you start earning ten times more. How about really wanting it? Can you convince yourself that your potential is ten times greater?

Set goals bigger than your ability

If your goals are based only on what you already have and logical reasoning, it will be difficult to convince yourself of the need to go beyond what is possible. Set goals that make you fearful, doubtful, but still move towards the impossible.

Don't say "Oh, if only it was a little easier."

Say "I wish I could be a little better."

Leave time for recuperation

When you focus on the results, and not on the work itself, you are working at 100%, then at the same 100% rest. But this is wrong: you need to consistently maximize your performance by taking short rest breaks.

How to take a break from work without losing concentration? Make a diary entry, listen to a few songs, spend time with your family, or cook dinner. These simple things will not only help you recuperate, but will also show you what you are working for.

Start Before You Are Ready

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best moment is now.

Chinese proverb

Most people are waiting. What? Right moment. When there is more money. When they make the right acquaintances. But not you.

You started last year. Five years ago. You started before you had answers to your most pressing questions. You started when no one believed in you. All you needed was an inner voice that said, "Let's go!"

If you need approval, don't

Many successful businessmen confess: most often they are asked something like: "What do you think, maybe I should start my own business?"

In fact, if you need someone's approval and blessing in order to take action, you shouldn't do anything at all.

You only need to do something when you can't help but dothis.

Do if you are not ready to put up with the existing reality. If your ideas keep you awake at night.

No one will ever give you permission to make your dream come true.

Make no exceptions

Do not indulge yourself. After all, one exception will lead to another. You are no longer competing with others - only with yourself. Every exception is a loss.

Trust yourself and act without giving up or bending over to your own weaknesses. Now you cannot be stopped!
