Preface

My journey has led me to believe that success requires certain elements and characteristic traits. These elements all work synergistically, and without any one of them, the entire plan would fail. In this book, I present the seven ingredients of success I have developed over the years that I believe are crucial in one’s professional development. Focus on one without the others, and you will lack the depth and knowledge required to succeed. All seven ingredients work together synergistically to create a well-rounded individual with an aptitude for success. Make sure you internalize each one and determine how well each fits into your whole life. These seven ingredients have helped shape my life and have paved the way for my own success, and I truly believe that this book will be a strong guide for others as well. Take your time and go through each one in detail, and determine the areas in which you are lacking. Nobody is perfect from the beginning, and nobody is perfect in the end; however, we can all shape every area of our lives to the best of our abilities to present ourselves in the best light possible. Without further ado, let’s begin exploring the seven ingredients essential for success that will change your life.

Seven Ingredients of Success

1.   Peace of Mind

The first ingredient of success lies in your ability to maintain inner peace. Without a healthy and peaceful mind-set, one’s life is doomed to failure. On the road to success, there are many perils and obstacles, and without peace of mind, you will not be able to clearly think through and make your best decisions. If you find yourself in a constant mental struggle with yourself or focusing on things that do not matter, then it is important to develop a sound peace of mind. External success begins with a sound internal mind-set.

One method to achieve peace of mind is through meditation. Spend five to ten minutes a day sitting quietly, and focus on your breathing. Ignore everything else during those brief moments, and focus on yourself as the being. Let go of all troubling thoughts and things that are outside of your control.

Another way is to engage in an activity that you find enjoyable. Let go of everything that is weighing on your mind, and immerse yourself in a hobby for a few hours to get your mind off your troubles. It is important to remember, though, that during this time, you cannot allow any negativity or troubling thoughts into your mind. If you find yourself involuntarily struggling with a negative mind-set, then take a step back, focus on the activity in front of you, and reengage.

It also helps to remember that whatever happened in the past cannot be changed; all you can do is focus on how you can better prepare yourself for the future. If somebody wronged you in the past or you went through a negative period in life, try not to dwell on the negatives. Rather, focus on how that experience can shape you for the better. Everything that happens in life is a learning experience, and with those experiences, you can build a better peace of mind and live a more fruitful and fulfilling life.

2.   Health and Energy

The second ingredient of success is strong health and positive energy. Without good internal health and energy, you will find it very difficult to achieve external success. Just as the first ingredient focused on mental health, the second ingredient focuses on physical health in order to succeed. It is important to take action toward developing strong, healthy habits.

Good energy comes from having a positive attitude toward life and those around you. The energy you give off comes back around full circle. You will meet many people and develop many interpersonal relationships on your journey to success, and it is important that you radiate positive energy, otherwise people will hesitate to work with you. Certain people have the charm and charisma to attract the right kind of people to them. Some are naturals, and others are not. Even if you are not, it is still possible to develop habits to radiate positive energy. Smile when you see others. Call people by their first names. Studies have shown that it shows the people around you that you care about them.

3.   Loving Relationships

Focus on loving relationships and you will find yourself in a strong position for success. Look at all the CEOs, world leaders, and industry leaders out there. For the most part, they all portray themselves as family people, with a loving spouse and a happy family. Whether or not it is true in their personal lives, they provide an image of having loving relationships to the public.

The point is that on their way to becoming a leader, they had the support of someone, whether it was a spouse or a family member, to help them get to where they were. Imagine building the next Fortune 500 Company but having to come home and argue with your family and loved ones. Elon Musk even stated that there is nothing worse than coming home to an empty house after working all day. Focus on developing loving relationships with those around you, and the path to success will be much easier.

If you find yourself in unhealthy relationships, either determine the root cause of the problem and attempt to fix it, or cut yourself off completely. Once the root cause is identified, it is important to address the issue.

Many times, people stay in unhealthy relationships because they are scared of being independent. They often suppress the true root cause of their problems and tend to fail to communicate the issue with the other person. It becomes a vicious self-reinforcing cycle that ends up dragging down all parties.

4.   Financial Freedom

The fourth ingredient is financial freedom. You do not have to be the richest person to achieve success, but you must have your basic finances covered in order to achieve peace of mind. It will be very difficult to achieve success if you do not know where your next meal is coming from, or if you have to struggle every month to come up with rent. Focus on achieving financial freedom and get all of your expenses in order. Carefully track what you are spending each month and cut back on things you do not need. Build yourself a good savings nest to allow yourself to focus on external success. Focus on getting your financial issues in place first before going out and seeking lofty goals. Sit down with a financial planner and determine how you can get out of debt.

Studies have shown that a majority of Americans do not have enough money in their bank account to cover a $500 emergency medical bill. By getting out of debt, you will be taking the first step toward financial freedom and a successful and rewarding life.

5.   Worthy Goals and Ideas (Meaning and Purpose)

It is important to seek or pursue worthy goals and ideas that have meaning and purpose. You need to focus on things that matter to you and that will bring your life meaning and purpose.

Many people work nine-to-five jobs that have no definite meaning and purpose. Their excuse is that they have bills to pay and a family to support.
