How to Maintain Success and Keep Winning



“I think that being a winner doesn’t mean winning and being tired of winning, and I never want to lose. For me, a winning player, coach, or a man in general is someone who is never tired of winning”.
                                                                                                                                                --JoseMourinho

Getting to the mount of success is the issue; it is staying there that counts.
I have seen a lot of people who are up-in-hills and shining like stained-glasses today, but tomorrow they are nowhere to be found. They are back to their pit-holes after their ten minutes ‘wow’ effect.

One of the biggest problems facing people in business is being short-sighted in their vision and goals.
I have seen many people who after achieving a small success like owning a business, having a car and having a house, they would say to themselves, “What else is there to achieve?”

Listen: they saddest person in this world is someone who has nothing else to live for.
This is high treason against life. A man who has nothing to live for is not better than the dead man.

Success is by degree.
Starting small is good; staying small is a sad thing.
You must enlarge your coast, and learn to stretch your vision and dreams.
Super Achievers are people who pursue after big dreams and try to do what ordinary men call impossible.

They greatest challenge towards maintaining success, is what I called ‘the average mentality’.
This is the truth: You can never go beyond the limit of your mind.

When you get to the mountain top, it is not a license to fold your arms, close your eyes and fall to sleep.
Success is easy to achieve; maintaining success and staying successful is the hard job.
Winning in life is not World cup or Olympic event; it is a lifestyle. Let winning be like drinking a glass of water every day.

Greatness is by degree.
Think extraordinary thoughts. See yourself going the extra mile when everyone else is celebrating.
The more your win, the more there is to win.
Every peak you reach is not a final bus-stop, but it’s only a stepping-stone to greatness.

It is fine to be good. It is wonderful to be better; but the world will only celebrate you when you become the best.

Beware of shallow thinking. Beware of poverty mentality. Beware of impossibility thinking.
SEE YOURSELF AS THE RECORD BREAKER AND A SUPER ACHIEVER.
Greatness is never far from the man who always believes he can.

Those who maintain success and keep winning are people who believe that their best is still yet to come.
But small achievers and failures always think that there so-called best can never be surpass.

To keep winning in every area of life, you must maximize your potentials.
It is not all about discovery who and what you are; it is about leveraging it for work wonders for you.
Whatever and where ever you are today, I tell the truth…you can still achieve more. You can still do better than that. This is the secret of continuous progress.

Winners are never tired of winning. They hate losing!

It is time to break out from your comfort zone. It is time to awake the greatness in you.
Let success become a lifestyle for you, and not a momentum event.

There is something I was point out at this juncture: IT IS CALLED PRIDE.

Yes; Pride is the number enemy for falling from grace to grass and from success to failure.
No matter the degree of success you have achieved in life or the level of height you have attained, you must never let this virus to creep into your life.
Pride is a destroyer. It is the mother of demotion, setback and lose.
HUMILITY IS THE KEY.
The more you succeed, you more you should be humble.
When you are humble, you will never let what you have or what you have become to control or influence you negatively.
You must be a master of success, if you want to maintain success.

Destroy the spirit of pride if you desire to keep winning.
Put on the garment of humility, and you will be lifted above your fellows.

DON’T LOSE WHAT YOU HAVE LABORED FOR…

DON’T REMAIN IN ONE PLACE EVERY DAY…

…GO BEYOND THE AVERAGE.

The Right Attitude Towards Achieving Your Goals



“If I made a mistake then I apologize. I am happy I’m not going to jail because of that”
                                                                                                                                --Jose Mourinho

“What if I made a mistake?”
“What if I didn’t get it right?”
“What if the deal didn’t go through?”

This is what I always hear people say whenever I am teaching on Goals Achievement.
My reply to them is always the same: “MISTAKE IS NO BIG DEAL”.

The fear of failure and making mistakes has hindered millions of people from achieving their goals, dreams and visions.
People whose ideas would have transformed our world for better and add value to people’s lives have allowed themselves to fall victim of this great virus called ‘fear of the unknown’.

Success in every area of life is reserved for only the courageous and those who are willing to dare.
Quitters never win; winners never win.
 Success is a journey, and not a one –time reward system.
 On the road to success, you will definitely encounter many mistakes.

Does ‘mistake’ really worth the fear?

Fear of failure can never stop a man who has a success attitude.
People became victim because of their ignorance or wrong perspective about failure.
Perfectionism is the mother of inaction.
If you fail to try because you don’t want to fail, you will fail to succeed because you don’t want to try. Very simple logic!

Until you change your mentality about mistakes and failures, you will never actualize your dreams, visions and goals in life.
In the school of success, Mistake is the best teacher.

Failure and mistake should never cause you to give up on your pursuit of success.
Never accept defeat. Never talk failure.
Learn to develop a positive approach, attitude and response towards mistakes and failures.
Knowledge is only power when it is act upon.
You must make room for mistakes if you want to succeed in life.
You must develop a teachable and humble spirit if you want to get the hidden blessings in the mistakes of life.

Do not get me wrong, I do not encourage people to go out to fail or make mistake. I love success. I hate to fail. I always want to get it right. This is my life. This is my attitude.

BUT…I have learned to forgive myself quickly whenever I make mistake. I have learn not to mourn over my mistakes, but to move on and try again.
There is hope for the living dog than the dead lion.
It does matter how many times you have failed or how terrible and foolish the mistake was, You can always TRY AGAIN.

You can’t go to jail because of mistake. MISTAKE IS NO BIG DEAL; SUCCESS IS.

This is the simple truth: If you must increase your chances of succeeding in life and achieving your goals, you must double your rate of failure.

People should seek wisdom, knowledge and understanding in other to avoid silly mistakes that will cause them their lives or lead them to eternal doom.
My take here is that, PEOPLE SHOULD ACT UPON THE KNOWLEDGE THEY HAVE ACQUIRED.
The epidemic of this world is not ignorance people, but people who have abused knowledge and learning by refusing to take action on the information they have gathered.
This is worst then HIV, CANCER, and even death!

 Also; we must try as much as we can to learn from other people’s mistakes. This is Wisdom.
But, even in this, you will also encounter your own mistakes and learn from your own experience. This is inevitable and it is part of life.
Don’t blame others for your failure. Don’t blame yourself. Don’t accept people’s wrong opinion and criticism concerning your abilities or skills. Always think positive. See yourself as a GOAL ACHIEVER even if you have failed a thousand times.

THE GREATEST MISTAKE IN LIFE IS TO GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS AND VISIONS BECAUSE OF FEAR OF FAILURE AND MISTAKES.

DESIRE AND DETERMINATION WILL TAKE YOU TO YOUR DESTINATION.

YOU TOO CAN SUCCEED. YOU CAN BECOME A GOAL ACHIEVER

DEVELOP A SUCCESS ATTITUDE TODAY.
