“Jishinde Ushinde.” What does this Swahili maxim
mean? Is it possible to compete with your own self and win? YES. It is possible
through BEING, DOING AND HAVING which are the three
stages that seemingly the law of success revolves around and is the common way
of life that many successful people live.
1.
Being
What is it that you personally want to become in
order to be successful? This is the
primary stage which unfortunately most average people skip in the process. This
stage involves idea conception, believing in it, visualizing it and confessing
it with the mouth.
You want to start a business? Which type of business?
You have the idea already, then strongly believe in it and visualize it through
proclaiming it repeatedly. At this stage, you need to develop your plan and
strategy and this does not cost much.
2.
Doing
Back it up with the required action. If you want to
be successful in your business go find out what successful people are doing and
emulate. Stop the wishy washy way of life and start doing and making things
happen.
The poor take huge loans to buy personal luxury
cars, furniture and holidays instead of acquiring assets and doing investments.
This is pretending to be rich because successful business people take loans to
finance their investments and liabilities.
This stage of doing isn’t easy and this is where many
people give up. Never give up if you want to succeed. Look at
the benefits, both short and long term and put more strength until you make
it.
3.
Having
Ultimately, this is the stage bearing results of the
combined efforts of BEING and DOING. It’s the physical reward or a million in
your account and the good news is that it comes automatically when you truly go
through the first two stages successfully. At this stage you enjoy the results.
Final
Word
An old wise man once said, “The
art of courage does not rest in the lack of fear, but in the willingness to
take that step forward even when you don’t see the full staircase.”
Therefore, success does not rest in the lack of
determination, but in the readiness to take a step to BE, DO and HAVE.
