News flash- overnight success does happen.

But what most people don’t know is that before that night, the yet-to-be successful person has probably spent hundreds of days, thousands of hours, millions of minutes toiling, grinding, hurting, suffering and failing.

It takes intelligent planning, massive commitment to daily imperfect actions, and constant & never-ending improvement to make success happen.

Are you seriously ready to embrace success and start achieving those big, hairy, audacious goals and dreams you have?

Below are a couple of principles of unlocking the secrets to achieving your success- called the success state, so that you can turn your vision into reality.

#1 Choose A Goal And Get A Massive Action Plan

Things never get done without executing proper actions.

When you lay out the foreseeable challenges, you need to be realistic if the challenge matches with your current skill level.

It’s best to strike a balance between too hard and too easy to activate the power of flow state. When things are hard but achievable, this setup will prevent you from getting bored or disappointed while keeping you motivated to finish the process.

#2 Kill All Distractions

Sometimes people don’t get what they want NOT because they don’t know or how to do certain things, but they fail because they’re pulled away from their paths by distractions.

To ensure that you get things done, you must intelligently choose a location where you will be comfortable, undisturbed and focused to finish any tasks you need.

#3 Harness The Power Of Visualization

Visualization does work when you do it right.

Basically, you’re giving yourself a mental rehearsal of what challenges you’re probably going to encounter, and how you’re going to overcome them and ultimately achieving your goals.

Of course you still must take action to make things happen. But spending 10 minutes a day conditioning your mind and priming your mindset is definitely a worthy self-investment.

It’s been proven to work by thousands of athletes, coaches and high performers.

#4 Limit Your Conscious Thoughts

Working within the success state is only successful if you ‘go with the flow’ and don’t consciously think about what you’re doing and why.

You can easily do this because you’ll be engaged in completing a task that fascinates you, has a deep purposeful meaning and has intrinsic value.

Do you remember when you’re totally immersed in a TV show, a thriller movie, or a fascinating musical? That’s when you’re not consciously thinking but just being present in the moment in the flow. Or, perhaps in your mind, you were driving  along and thinking about something and then when all of a sudden, you wondered where you were? It’s like that.

#5 Laser Focus And Dominate One Thing At A Time

Once you’ve eliminated potential distractions, focusing becomes much easier.

Remember that we are cognitively incapable of focusing at multiple things at any given moment. When you multitask, it’s only an act of switching tasks that’s going to severely hurt your productivity.

So if you can promise yourself not to multi-task again, you will not feel overwhelmed anymore and taking imperfect action becomes so much easier.

With these 5 principles of the success state, you are now equipped the success mindset necessary to achieve whatever you want.

Go out there, stop worrying and start living your true potential today!
