Great news, I’m going to share with you how you can get what you want by using 5 simple but guaranteed steps. As long as you follow through these 5 steps, you will definitely achieve what you really want in your life.
If success is so easy and can be break down into 5 simple steps, why there are still so many people fail to achieve what they want in their life? The answer is pretty simple, they are not committed and determined to make what they want to come true.
If you are serious and put in 100% commitment into your dreams, do you believe that you’ll be able to achieve them? Of course you will. 50 years ago, landing on the Moon is something impossible, but look at today, we’re able to land on Mars!
30 years ago, nobody will believe that you can communicate and talk with your friends by using a device as small as the size of your palm. Look at the world today, you can communicate, play games, share files, make video calls with someone on the other side of Earth with just a mobile phone.
This shows you that everything is possible. There’s nothing as impossible to achieve. If you have the commitment and the desire to make your dreams come true, you will definitely achieve what you really want in your life.
Do you believe that someone who is at the bottom of the school, been dropped out of school a few times, are able to turn his life over, become top in his school, top the university, and then become a millionaire at the age of 26? If he can do the impossible, then you can do it as well.
His name is Adam Khoo and he is one of my favorite success gurus out there. I first learned my success principles from his book, Master Your Mind, Design Your Destiny. It is truly a powerful book that will change your life to the better, forever.
So now are you ready to unleash the potential deep in you? Are you ready to awaken the giant that resides in you? Are you ready to achieve what you want in your life with these 5 simple and GUARANTEED steps…?
1. Know What You Want - See It Before You Achieve It
This is the first and the most fundamental step you must take. Before you can get to anywhere, you must know where you’re going. You need to first determine your destination.
“What do you really want to achieve in your life?”
Many people live a mediocre life and struggling to make a difference because they don’t know what they really want from their life. If you live your life without purpose and reason, you’ll never be successful and you’ll waste your whole life.
So here’s what you need to do right now. Close your eyes and think deeply, really think and visualize. Think about your life in the future, project 10 years forward. Where will you be and what are you doing? You have to find out what you really want to achieve in your life before you can achieve them.
Once you knew what you want, find out WHY you want it so much. Create a burning desire by knowing why you want to achieve it. If your reason is strong enough, you will do whatever it takes to make it come true.
2. Set Empowering Goals - Know The Direction Of Your Life
Do not underestimate what a goal can do for you. In fact, goal setting is one of the most powerful success strategies ever found. You must put what you really want in a more tangible form. The more tangible your dreams are, the easier you’re going to make them a reality.
Take out a piece of paper now, and write down what you want to achieve. Here are the 2 principle you must always remember in goal setting, be as specific as possible and have deadlines for all of your goals.
After you’ve written down your goals, I want you to tell 3 people that are close to you about your goals. Call them or email them about your goals. Share with them. This is the first step to manifest your goals. If you are serious about your achieving your goals, you must do this.
Next, paste this paper somewhere you can see often. If you are working from your desk most of the time, then put your goal sheet on your desk so that you can see it every single day. This is to remind yourself of your goals and if you do this, you will sink the idea of achieving your goals into your subconscious mind.

3. Success Is About Getting Things Done - Take Consistent Action Everyday
The third step you need to follow through is to create an action plan for your goals. Once you have set your goals, you need to develop an action plan on how you can achieve them, and then take consistent action toward your goals.
Don’t worry if the strategies you use is wrong. You’ll just have to treat them as feedback and change your strategies. Many people keep doing the same thing with the same manner and they hope for different results. This is impossible. If you want to get different results, you must take different action.
One plus one will always equal to two. This is a fact and you can’t change it. Therefore, if you fail to produce the results you want after you’ve taken action, change your strategies. Be flexible and willing to venture out of your comfort zone.Dare to change and willing to sacrifice for your dreams.
The real key to success is to get things done. No matter what action you take, make sure you take CONSISTENT action everyday. This will make sure you move one step closer toward your goals each day.
Procrastination and delaying your action is one of the common killers to your success. I urge you to read Adam’s Master Your Mind, Design Your Destiny to learn how you can unlock the secret to your success and smash through everything that’s been holding you back.
4. Use Your Thought Power - Believe You Can Achieve It
Ask yourself this question right now, “Do you sincerely believe that you can achieve your goals?”
If you do not believe that you can achieve your goals, you will never achieve them. You must first believe that it is possible for you to achieve what you want in your life before you can achieve them.
Most of the times, it is not that your goals are too ambitious that they overwhelm you, it is the thinking of how hard it is going to be that will block and kill your creativity.
When you ask someone why don’t he become a millionaire, they might just tell you that it is not as easy as you think or they might tell you that it is just impossible for them because of … (all sorts of lousy excuses)
It is your thought, your belief that is deciding all the action you do and all the decision you make in your life. If you believe that you don’t have the time to read books, you’ll never find yourself extra time for it. If you believe that you are poor because you have no money, you’ll stay poor forever until you change your belief and your thought.
Everything happens twice, once in your mind as an idea or a thought, and once in reality. Everything you do is once a thought in your mind. It is the same if you want to achieve great success in your life. You must first believe it.
Here’s what you can do now. Find out useful articles, success stories in your field, or you can even invest in some books that will open your eye and your mind toward new beliefs. Expose yourself to positive information and you will slowly change your belief system to the better side.
5. Adopt The Habit Of Constant And Never-Ending Learning
If you can spend 30 to 60 minutes a day into reading and improving your life, you will be able to read one book in a week. And within a year, you will be able to finish around 50 books. Think about it, the average people never read a book after they finish their school. So if you can read and learn from 50 books a year, what can you achieve from this? Do you think you will be able to do better and create more results than most people?
If you want to be successful in your field, you must be a constant learner. If you keep on improve yourself and learn all the way, you will be able to become the top 5% in your industry. Unfortunately, most people are lazy and they do not commit themselves to constant and never-ending improving in their life.
Wake up 30 to 60 minutes early everyday and read books to improve yourself. If you do this consistently for the whole year, you will experience great changes in your life. You will transform yourself from an underachiever into a super achiever.
This is what changes the life of Adam Khoo. When he learned the ‘brain secret’ he transforms himself into a super achiever and became a millionaire at the age of 26.
Master Your Mind, Design Your Destiny is written with you in mind. It is an instruction book, workbook, custom-made blueprint designed for you to attain the success you deserve in life!
Right now, you have the keys to all the knowledge you need to take charge of your life and design it to be exactly the way you want it to be.
The only question is, “What are you going to do with this knowledge?”
Will you let it slips through your grasp once again and then expect your life to change for the better by continuing to do the same actions that didn’t work before?
OR
Will you take charge of this power you have right now and create the breakthrough results and lifetime success you want and deserve?
The choice is yours.
