What is Success?
It is not all financial
Success is when you feel at ease with yourself, when you earn enough to sleep well at nights, when your close relationships are good and you are a positive influence on those around you. When you can deal with adversity and plan for the future. For me success is also achieving self-control, defeating procrastination and feeling motivated and passionate about my life and work The Half-Job Tip
A major stumbling block for most people is they the keep putting off unpleasant projects. We'll keep coming back to this over the hundred days, but this is a great tip.
Get a project STARTED by saying to yourself say "I will assemble the paperwork into a folder" and then STOP. Or say "I will assemble the tools required" and then STOP.
I thought this tip dumb when I first heard it, but the trick is that when we ordinarily think about starting a project our imagination runs away with itself we see all the problems and suddenly it seems impossible, we put it off.
The HALF-JOB Tip gets you started!

Bridging Tip : How to keep a conversation going
You know the situation you are unexpectedly introduced to someone potentially important to you, you exchange a few politenesses, then there is an embarrassed pause and one of you moves on; the moment is lost. Bridging is a valuable technique used by salesmen to keep conversations going. Here are the main bridges:-
Meaning...?
For Example...?
So then...?
Therefore...?
Then You...?
Which means...?
How it works :-
You start be asking them say what their job is, they answer, you ask them whether they like their job, they answer briefly or uninterestedly you then need a bridging response eg "Which means...?". Keep using bridging responses until you hit one of their buttons, they will then talk enthusiastically, you will then know enough about to ask interesting questions.
Try this on a friend or colleague first until you get the knack of it, also remember the Tip "Be interested not interesting!!

The Four Quadrants
Steven Covey describes a high-level prioritization scheme in his book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. In this scheme, tasks are categorized by four quadrants:
Q1 - Important and UrgentQ2 - Important but Not Urgent
Q3 - Not Important but Urgent
Q4 - Not Important and Not Urgent
Explanation:-
You will only be successful if you spend a lot of your time and effort in Category Q2. Surprising? Think about it!!
Quadrants Q1 and Q3 have to be done and so take care of themselves. Q4 is don't care anyway, but people waste lots of time on Q4 because they are painless tasks. But in Q2 "Important not urgent" you have things like set up your pension, start a savings plan, starting updating your CV, write a business plan, study for next year's exams, write your book, these are all planning for your future items!
Use your Pain as a Motivator
Lots of people only succeed when something bad happens to them, they were sacked or had a bad illness. In my case I dropped out of college I had to repeat my studies at my own expense, but when started my career I was burning with desire to catch up and exceed. What pain or rejection have you suffered? What pain can you use to fuel your success? Remember how much more difficult it is for the "comfortable" to leave their rut.

Get Your Life Back on Track
Hey you are not alone!
Lots of people go thru this stage, only a lucky few have continuous success throughout their life, the trick is to do and want to something about it. It's encouraging that you've recognised the problem and are researching solutions.Of course it doesn't take 5 minutes to get your life back on track and you risk going through some bad times as you leave your comfort zone and even times when you appear to be going backwards. The rewards for success and for your self esteem are immense however so why not start that journey today!
NLP : Reframing
A technique to view things you cannot change in a a positive light
In Neuro Linguistic Programming reframing is used to help a person adapt to a situation, behaviour or person that they cannot expect to change. They cannot change the problem so they have to change their view of it to a positive one. A father who found his daughter headstrong, was able to reframe when a therapist explained how much of an advantage that could be in her future career.You can also use this kind of reframing to help you tolerate your own faults
Always Bothering
Raise your Game, be Tougher on Yourself
Remember you are usually (eventually) punished in a small or large way for any sloppiness, not emptying/refilling your sports bag as soon as you get back from the gym. Not dealing with your paperwork immediately, not filing it correctly. Not putting a tool back in its exact spot, not having spare printer and computer media, not double checking your travel bookings it goes on.
Remember how much time you waste looking for that mislaid tool, document, how much it might cost you if you miss your flight, being lazy means you end up having to do more!
The trick is to be tougher on yourself to be kinder to yourself in the longterm.

Personal Brainstorming for Successful Ideas
Make use of spare and dead time e.g. waiting at the dentists to brainstorm get out a pencil and piece of paper and just start writing lists of things to do, ways of improving your efficiency, people you need to contact.
Initially you may find this frustrating but persist and once the ideas start flowing you will find yourself scribbling furiously. This works!

The Now Habit
Don%u2019t Ignore Mental Reminders
When your memory reminds you to need to phone someone, put a document in your briefcase for tomorrow, don't just think "I must do that later" because unfortunately your subconscious tends to think it's done it's job and may not bother to remind you a second time! I always imagine that if you don't act immediately that your subconscious sulks and thinks well I did warn him but he didn't seem to think it important. This virtually obliges us to deal with things immediately and then, if it is not convenient/possible to complete the task there and then you must all the same take an action, eg diary it, create a post-it note etc.

Do you have a life plan?
If you want to make your dreams come true you need to have timetables and become goal-driven.
Do you plan your day, do you write it down
Do you plan your week?
Do you plan your year?
It doesn't take long to do these plans but most people don't get round to it, it is a classic "Important but not Urgent" type of task that continually gets put on the back burner!

Decision Making
The worst decision of all is to make "No Decision" when one is urgently required. So whenever you are required to make a difficult decision weigh up all the evidence as best you can and then choose what seems the best option. There is no point in worrying if you have chosen the right decision that is part of normal risk taking.

Frittering Time Away
Frittering Time is Worse than Procrastination
The successful make use of every little bit of their time, they get down to doing serious work quicker. If a 15 minute gap in their schedule appeared due to a cancellation they would automatically slot in another task, or take a power nap or a real break. What they wouldn't do is fritter away the time with aimless browsing, reading emails. Become aware of how much time you are frittering, have a list of 5 minute tasks ready that you can focus on before the temptation to fritter overcomes you!

Who are You?
What are your Skills and Experience?
Everyone is a unique cocktail of life and work experience, knowledge and skills. Most people also have limiting self-beliefs or conflicting ambitions. The trick is to discover what combination of doubts and skills are holding you back, to discover what are the missing ingredients of your success. Sportsmen have become successful after many years of mediocrity by making one change to their game. Businessmen by changing one product or one aspect of their marketing. Of course it requires massive amounts of self-belief in the preceding years, but that's why all the Self-Improvement books keep on and on about the power of positive thinking!

Leverage is the Key to Success
Many who could have been/should have been successful simply exhausted themselves trying to do everything themselves. Rather we should EXHAUST ourselves trying to think of EASIER,QUICKER,MORE EFFICIENT ways to get things DONE. There is no longer any virtue in just being a work donkey we should rather think like Tom Sawyer who gets people to pay him for painting Tom's own fence!!
