PERMISSION TO SUCCEED

Can I please be myself?

Do I Need Permission to Succeed?

These are the questions many adults ask themselves. Have you been asking yourself for permission to succeed? We’ve been so used to parents, friends, and bosses telling us what to do that we even want them to grant us permission to succeed!

My friend, if you keep all your dreams dormant inside you, the most tragic thing will happen. You’ll join the growing number of adults who watch their lives pass by and wonder, Why have I settled for such a mediocre life? Add the pressures of midlife crisis and you’re almost certain to live out the rest of your days only wishing for what you could have been, could have done, and could have had.

I’ve come to realize that the biggest trouble with midlife crisis is that many people suddenly wake up, shocked by the fact that they’re behind on their dreams, working at a job which brings no joy, for a boss or company they dislike, for wages that keep them just short of broke, while wishing to do or be something else.

Over time, they begin to despise themselves for getting to this point but feel too insecure or afraid to do anything about it. "After all," they reason, I have a family to take care of, a mortgage and car note to pay for, and the economy is in a downturn. Then they silently convince themselves that they’re not too bad compared to so and so, and push their kids to become and do all the things they never did.

Just Be Yourself. You already have permission to succeed!

Why do you always feel like you need to seek their approval? What a tragedy! The worst thing that will happen to you if you fail to succeed at your true passions is that you’ll end up blaming people and situations for your present circumstances.

Wives blame their husbands. Husbands divorce their wives. Parents say, If I didn’t have children…. Then depression kicks in and everyone blames the government. This kind of attitude robs you of your power to change and to take charge of your life.

Stop making excuses. Follow your dreams and live out your passions. You are where you are today by the choices and decisions you’ve made. If you don’t like where you are, then simply decide upon and choose the new life you really want to live.

ANSWER THESE 10 QUESTIONS TO GET STARTED:

1. Do I suffer from " Permission to Succeed Syndrome? "

•I’m always wondering, But what would _____ think about me?

•I’m always asking for everyone’s opinions before I take action.

•I’m always thinking, If I do____________ ‘they’ will look at me differently.

•I need to have many people’s approval before I do or try something new.

•I find it very difficult to express my greatest desires and goals to my peers.

2. Why am I so afraid to succeed at higher levels?

3. What would I do if I truly had life My Way?

4. How would I live if I had ALL the money I needed?

5. If I had less than a year to live, what would I do? Who would I become? What would I stop doing?

6. What do I enjoy MOST about my life? What do I like LEAST about my life?

7. If I could change 1 or 2 things about my life, what would I change first? What would I change next?

8. How much do I really love my job, career, profession, or vocation? (On a scale of 1 to 10)

9. What steps am I going to take NOW to begin living my dreams and life’s calling?

10. What would be my life’s legacy?

I hope that helps to give you a good view of where you are. If you’re not living your dreams but waiting for permission to succeed, then here it is:

"I do grant you (insert your name) FULL rights and permission to be yourself, to succeed, and to reach your FULL potentials. You have full authorization to be, do, and have all that God has inspired you to be, do, and have. Now go live your dreams!"

SUCCESS IS PREDICTABLE

Tell me what your daily habits are and I can predict the kind of success you will have and are having.

– RL Chance

Not too many things in life are certain, but of this we can be sure, success is predictable! It is the one thing just about everyone strives for and which often eludes the masses. But why should that be when there’s a plethora of success books, success movies, success coaches, success gurus, success this and success that?

I’m often amazed how people tend to overlook the simple and obvious for the complex and mystical. If you desire to be successful in any area of your life, business, or ministry, I’ll tell you flat out and clearly that predictable success is simply a matter of obeying or applying known laws or success principles.

At its most basic, fundamental level, success is a direct result of cause and effect relationships. The ancient writers taught this in several ways:

•Whatever you sow, you will also reap.

•For every cause, there is a direct effect.

ISAAC NEWTON MADE IT SIMPLE FOR US IN HIS THIRD LAW OF MOTION:

•For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

GOD PUT IT BEST IN HIS UNIVERSAL DIVINE PRECEPTS:

•If you meditate upon, observe, and do (apply/practice) My Laws, then you will be prosperous and successful. (Joshua 1:8)

•Now that you know these things (that I’ve revealed to you), blessed (happy/successful) you will be if you do (apply/practice) them. (John 13:17)

There you have it! But don’t confuse simplicity with being simplistic. Success is predictable if you will only apply the laws or principles of success. Do what successful people do and in time, you too will be successful. You will reap the blessings of success when you consistently do what it takes to be successful.

In other words, STOP worrying about the end-results of success and START doing what it takes to produce success. Laws that are proven and established govern outcomes. If you sow the right seeds of time, effort, faith, and expectation, then you cannot fail to have and experience the promised blessing of success in due time.

For example, if you want to get fit, buff, slim, or trim (the end-results of what success looks like), then live by the principles that will bring that about: exercise, good nutrition, and rest.

If you want to make $10,000+ a month, find out what people really want and sell it to them at a price they can afford. The more people you sell to, the more you make. You can also invest in programs that teach wealth building and entrepreneurship like Monetize Your Skills Academy or get coaching through Implementation Inner Circle Club and learn how to leverage your education, expertise, and experiences to create products and services that will enable you to live and work where you want, when you want, and with whom you want.

If you want to have a successful marriage, it’s not rocket science either. Go on regular dates, communicate deeply and often with your spouse, buy gifts for each other, attend marriage conferences and retreats, and study other successful marriages. If you want to be spiritually fit and on fire, then read, study, pray, and bless others every day.

Voila!

Success is Predictable.

10 SIMPLE SUCCESS STRATEGIES

There’s no need to complicate what it takes to be successful!

– RL Chance

I f you’re doing it hard, you’re doing it wrong is something I heard often in the military. It has stuck with me in every major endeavor. Gurus of all types will have you believe that success is some mystical or difficult formula that only they have the monopoly on and that you need to hand over big bucks so they can show you how to use their complex ‘success strategies.’

Let me save you some headaches and your hard-earned cash and remind you that success is indeed simple.

But…

Don’t confuse simplicity with being simplistic.

To reach any goal, you do have to be strategic. If you have the right system, process, or framework, then the sky is truly the limit. I don’t call this book Strategic Secrets for nothing. Fortunately for you, it has decoded success and goal achievement to its simplest elements.

HERE ARE MY 10 SIMPLE SUCCESS STRATEGIES FOR GOAL ACHIEVEMENT:

1. Decide on a Specific Worthy Goal. If it pleases God and will not harm and injure others, but will be a blessing instead, then commit to it and set it as a goal to achieve.

2. Visualize Yourself Accomplishing that Goal Daily. Get it etched in your mind vividly by meditating upon the goal until you see it naturally.

3. Do Something Every Day Towards Achieving the Goal. This not only builds momentum but will guarantee reaching the goal in due time. Success loves action so act on your goals whenever you can.

4. Do Your Best and Leave the Results up to God. He is the miracle worker so once you’ve done all you can do (be honest
