The success factor

To give yourself the best chance of success, you need to build your future on the strongest foundations possible. But this isn’t about people, money or power (although, if used wisely, all three can help you on your journey to fulfilment), it’s about you.

This is your mission and your destiny that you’re taking control of, so more than anything you need a vision that will shine like a beacon over everything you do, driving you forward to realise your dream. It has to be your ultimate goal; something you’ve always wanted to do and somewhere you’ve yearned to be. The mere thought of it will push you onwards when the going gets tough, help you to overcome the biggest challenges and triumph in the face of adversity. And when you reach your destination, it will be something that will be worth all the time and effort you’ve put in along the way.

So, before you set off on your road to success, you need to know where you’re going and have a plan of how to get there. You need to define your vision of success and map out your journey to making it a reality, so that you can venture out with real purpose, direction and the confidence that you have what it takes.
