Success tips: goals, state of mind, goals, right tool and environment

Have a goal and be in the right state of mind, have the right tools and be in the environment that optimise you to get to your goal.

First, make sure you are in condition to be successful, this means having a good diet, exercises (for positive mindset) positive body posture (which has psychological impact on the mindset).

Rewire your negative mindset into a positive mindset. Such as changing "I can't" to "I can", from "I'm lazy" to "I'm keen", "I'm scare of failing" to "I know what doesn't work and I'm closer to my success", "I'm a loser" to "my past failure doesn't define me, there's more chapters ahead where I will become successful",  etc...

It also involves being in a mental state to make good decision, this involves having a clear, calm objective and intuitive.  

Everyone needs a clear and distinctive goal that you can mentally comprehend if you want to achieve it. If it is vague and difficult to comprehend, you won't have a clear direction of where you are heading and weren't get there. The key is to handle one thing at the time so you can really invest your mind to getting it. The mind needs long hours of rewiring and developing new synaptic growth.

You need to be in the right state of mind to achieve your goal. This means both belief system and the right state of mind to carry out the task.

The belief system means you need to be confident and believe you can achieve it otherwise it'll hold you back. Fear, irrational worries and hesitation will only hold your progress back.

You also need to be in the right state of mind to perform the task you are required to do to get you to that place. For instance if you may need to be logical, focused, emotional detached and cautious to trade stock or you you may need to be creative, imaginative, inspired and be in tapped with certain emotions to create an art work.

You need the right tools to get the work done. Not just the tools for the main jobs, but the right tools to overcome problems and obstacles you face whilst reaching you goals. You require a think tank system to diagnose problems and find solutions through out the process until you reach your goals. This requires great decision making (collective and objective input which I will discuss more later).

You also need to be in the right environment for work. The secret is to spend more time at you work station. If you just show up and put yourself there, you only have the option of doing your work. That's no brainer. But the work space should really be there to optimise your work performance. Consider the small details such as the optimum temperature, noise and lightings (i.e. yellow lights are likely to make you sleepy than white lights).

This means make sure there's no distractions such as having TV or having your phone with social media and other distracting apps to distract you. Schedule your time to reply to emails and messages outside working hours.

Other tips:

• Don't aim for good, aim for great
• Don't study just to learn, study to know
• It's not only talent, it's obsession!
• Study one thing deep. Dedicate a long period of time to only mastery that one thing at a time with undivided attention, such as a 3 months intensive course. But have time for background reading before to familiarise yourself with it. Within that time, you'll really train your mind and mental synapses.
