How to reach success

When rail roads were first invented engineers started to notice that the rail lines break at different points with no apparent reason. When they investigated further they found that sunlight resulted in the expansion of the metal forming the rail causing a pressure that breaks the line at its weakest points.

As a walk around, rail roads were redesigned to include slots that allows the expansion and contraction of the metal without breaking it.

So you might be asking yourself what does this has to do with reaching success?

The moral of the story is simple, reaching success is only a matter of failing first then modifying your approach to become successful!!

Success comes after failure

Of course there might be few people out there who succeeded from the first attempts but the majority of successful people failed many times before they managed to reach success. (see Challenge your failure).

A very large percentage of billionaires faced financial troubles at many points in their lives and some of them even lost all of their money and had to start all over again.

Learning is all about making mistakes first then knowing how to avoid these mistakes in the future. You have to do things wrong before you can learn how to do them the right way and thus in order to reach success you must first know how to not become successful.

Do you remember the first time you tried to ride a bicycle or use a skateboard?

How many times did you fall? How many things have you done wrong?

I am sure you fell tens of times yet you kept learning until you knew how to avoid your mistakes.

When i first started 2knowmyself i was only making 0.6 dollars a day, for me that was a complete failure but as i kept learning and avoiding my mistakes 2knowmyself grew to become a website that brings me thousands of dollars each month. Had i stopped trying early i wouldn't have managed to have a successful website and you wouldn't have been reading this article now!!

Why do people fail to succeed?

So if success is all about learning and avoiding mistakes then why don't all people succeed?

Simply because most people feel bad and become depressed when they experience their first few failures!!

Instead of continuing the learning process to learn how to avoid their mistakes those people stop at one point, form false beliefs about life and become depressed!!

In the Solid Self confidence program i explained that the only difference between those who succeed and those who don't is that the first group continue to the end until they learn how to avoid all of the mistakes they were doing while the second group feel bad and stop trying.

To summarize it all, here are the exact steps you need in order to reach success:

Do something!!: People who procrastinate or those who wait for the right time never make their first attempt and so never succeed. People who fear to try or fear success itself never reach anything too.

Look at failure differently: Failure is nothing more than discovering that you are not following the right approach. Without failure you would never know about the mistakes you did and success can never be reached

Avoid the mistakes and try again: Right after your failure give it another try after fixing the mistakes you did in the previous attempt

I am not saying that success will come after the second or the third attempt but what I am promising you is that you will surly reach success if you kept trying and trying.
