Just take these 9 steps differently than the masses, and you will be successful

Dear Fellow Travelers,

Namaste! It is said – Successful people don’t do different things, but they do things differently. Today we are sharing with you the list of 9 activities – you are doing every day or regularly in your life. Just do them a little differently this time and see the results. They are simple. You can share your feedback if you follow.  

Be Specific: -

See these two sentences – I want to earn some money from trading V/s I want to earn Rs.1 lakh per month from trading.

In my 30 years of journey in dealing with the investors – I have found they are not specific.

If they use a specific language – they can measure their success in a month to month or year-to-year basis and also they can take specific actions to reach there. Since they are not specific with their goals in the first place – the specific action and commitment required to reach goals don’t come up.

So, change your language in the first place.

Find out the time to ACT: -

Say you have 10 things to do on a given day. Most of the time – people miss due to their mental framework to do things at a particular time. The ideal way is to do as and when you find the time or as and when you remember during the day.

Frankly, if you are really committed to your success – you will find time anyhow. If you are not able to find time – it means you are not committed or the goals are not yours.

This is a matter of commitment and passion for you. Just work on them. These two things are your inner things – you can’t get it from the outside. No consultant or God can give you. You have to evolve every day towards your commitments and passion.

Monitor your Progress: -

In the times of Google Maps – it is easy to set the target location and the map towards it. Google keeps on updating the time required to reach your location every second. You know it will take 1 minute to 10 minutes, etc.

The point is - do you monitor your success every day or every week or every month. If you monitor – you can take corrective actions, in case you find you are not up to the mark.

Since most people are not specific about what they want in the first place – they have no clue to monitor their progress.

Be Realistic Optimistic: -

When a recommendation to buy is shared – normal investors will jump on it like DHRITRASTHRA in Mahabharat. He was BLINDLY Optimistic about the win of his 100 sons. He lost 100 sons and a kingdom both. He died in the jungle.

Normal investors who jump on to the recommendations like HIM – end up dying poor or committing suicide.

When you are investing with one logic,  1000 other things are going on with you in the market and in the World and you need to have that common sense to factor them while you are investing.  

Most investors fail to match the optimism with a realistic approach.

Get better every day rather than the best in one shot: -

All your beliefs/skillsets and resources are required to be seen in terms of your success. Many times – we assume that we can’t do something we have not done in the past or we don’t have the skill sets or we don’t have the belief.

The most comforting thing to know is that you can change each of them bit by bit. You can’t have perfect skill sets on day one. But over a period of time, you can refine the same and make it perfect.

This is why management science says you need 10000 hours to succeed in any particular area.

Many investors who are in this market for 30-40 years, they are not successful because they have failed to give the required time and attention to the development of the above qualities.

Have GRIT: -

Grit is a willingness to commit to long-term goals and to persist in the face of difficulty. I have seen that the investors who talk about long-term investments, run away from the market when it falls. If they have the GRIT, they can stay on the market for a little long time.

This also depends on your specific communication in the first place to yourself about your goals.

Psychological Edge: -

We call it NEVE of STEEL. You have the same money, and invest in the same company but one will make tons of money and the other will get out in the loss. The reason – when that company came down – one with strong willpower added it while others run away from the market or sold in losses.

The good thing about willpower is that you can build it through your daily actions. Say you decide that you will get up every day at 5am. Now, keep on monitoring the same and keep on working on the same. One day you will see getting up at 5am is new normal for you. This will happen even if you sleep at 10pm or 1am in the night.

People with intelligence, education, and money fail because they lack the psychological edge. So, work on it.

Respect the Destiny: -

How much ever sincerely you have taken the above steps – they are applicable in a given limit of your individual destiny. You have been given a BOUNDARY in which you are supposed to play your game. 99% of the time – nobody will be able to cross this boundary.

This requires you to become REALISTIC with your expectations.

Rahul Gandhi had an edge over MODI in every respect if we see the beginning of both the leaders. See them today. There is something hidden in everybody’s life that we call destiny.

At Destiny Management – we help our clients to be aware of their limits and take steps to work on them to expand their boundaries.

This may hurt your EGO but given all the things equal - Destiny has the power to make you or break you. So, know it. 

Focus on WHAT YOU WILL DO and not WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?

I keep on getting responses – someday we want to join you or work with you or take your consultancy in the area of Holistic Destiny Management.

This is not SPECIFIC. Just think WHAT YOU WILL DO NOW? When you focus on taking actions Now, you will set the motion and when you get into the motion – you will reach somewhere near to your goals or reach to your goals.

Remember – your thoughts of doing SOMEDAY will lead to the destination of NOWHERE.

What NEXT?

If you take the above 9 steps – you will see the magical transformation in your life/investments and happiness.

Make your choice.

Have a happy week ahead.
