Be a 10 in Success!
When it comes to success in any part of our life you can absolutely be a 10! I know there are those who say that a 10 symbolizes perfection and don’t believe that a 10 is possible. I would suggest that a 10 in success is defined by you, and is therefore completely attainable. You decide what a 10 in success is for you in each significant area of your life, and then set your goals to get there. Break your goals down into Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timed actions (a.k.a SMART) and then take those actions until you achieve success with that goal.
Example:
Let’s say that in terms of your current performance and success you deem yourself to be a 6 in your career role (self-assessed). You decide that in order to be a 10 in the coming year you need to add 24 new clients and increase your personal income by $20,000.00. This represents your current vision of what a 10 in success is for you in your career role, NOT perfection in that role. When you have achieved success in your goal then you are, at the time, a 10 by your own definition. At that point you should enjoy your 10. Celebrate it. Eventually, when you are ready and you have enjoyed your success for a while, you will look around and see that from your new vantage point there are even higher peaks to be scaled, now far more reachable than before because of your success in reaching your previous 10. At that point you can relabel your 10 as an 8, and set a goal for reaching your newly defined 10.
Author and Motivational Speaker Zig Ziglar once said, “Once you have reached the top, you may find what you thought was the top was in fact only a stepping stone to a place even higher up.”
So, what does a 10 in success look like to you? Clarify your vision, set your goals, and go for it. You can be a 10 in Success!
