Success is the gold standard of living that many people lust after but few individuals actually pursue. This is because of the majority of people like the thought of success, but not the process it takes to bring it into fruition. Most people want a shortcut that will lead them directly to success. The shortcut does not exist but this does not stop people from trying to recreate the easiest path imaginable towards success.
Success will not come easy but is achievable if you are focused on making it a constant factor in your life. Successful people achieved their lifestyles because they were obsessed with generating success no matter what it took. You must possess the same determination if you want to rise to the top percentile of the population. Implementing the following 5 rules will help you move your life in the right direction and make a leap forward to success.
1. Success has no limits.
There are plenty of opportunities that exist to make the money that you desire. Often, the problem is that you limit these opportunities because you do not truly believe in yourself. There are many excuses that people use for their lack of success. The truth though, is that they crack under pressure.
The major requirement for success is that you hustle hard and remain persistent. The determination to succeed can take you from a struggling entrepreneur to a billionaire. Your ambition will drive you towards achieving your goals every single day because you have a burning desire to win. Where others see obstacles, you only see opportunities. If a man can be sent to the moon, you can do whatever you put your mind to.

2. Be accountable for your thoughts and actions.
Nothing repels success more than people who do not take accountability for where their decisions have led them in life. Although there could have been situations beyond your control (such as death and the behavior of others), the way in which you react determines how well you can adapt and overcome the obstacles that occur in life. Life is not fair but those who succeed understand that life is what you make it.
Stop looking for reasons to justify not accomplishing your goals. Instead, start thinking about how you cannot be stopped from achieving them. Become accountable for your thoughts and actions so that you only do what is best for your future. Too many people operate with the “now” in mind without understanding all actions have a long-term impact on their lives.
3. Make big goals and take substantial action.
Small-minded goals rarely get accomplished because they are so insignificant, you do not put forth the effort to produce results. You continuously put them off day after day until they become an afterthought. You then are left in the same position where you started, wondering why your life has not progressed. Even when you are creating goals, you are choosing to settle for things which require the least amount of effort. You want to slowly inch your way to success, instead of leaping forward with each goal that you accomplish.
When your goals are massive, you are forced to take substantial action to make them come into fruition. You begin to operate with a purpose and your actions are filled with urgency. Most people want to be a millionaire by the time they retire, but you want to be a multi-millionaire within 5 years. Your goals become bigger and your actions reflect your thoughts.
4. Use fear as motivation to take action.
Fear is but an excuse to hold you back from achieving success. Often, people use fear as a defense to justify why they cannot pursue certain goals and take certain actions, in case things go wrong. In reality, the only thing that is wrong is your weak frame of mind that could be sabotaging your life. You are your own worst enemy because you are scared to take control of your life. Instead, you choose to let fear control it.
When fear or anxiety comes over you, it means that you are moving in the right direction. You are stepping out of your comfort zone and taking on challenges that require you to stretch your capabilities. Great challenges are how great people are made. Success requires you to use fear as a source of motivation to propel you forward. The more terrifying your sense of fear, the bigger the rewards that will be reaped when you overcome your fear.

5. Learn to see criticism as a sign of success.
We tend to disregard criticism because of the negativity attached to it. When you are criticised, you often interpret it as you have committed a mistake that has offended another person. This can lead to you reducing your aggression around people because you do not want your ambition for success to rub them the wrong way. Essentially, you are suppressing your pursuit for greatness in order to appease others.
Stop looking at criticism as something that should be avoided and embrace it as a sign that you are operating within success. Push forward with your efforts and view the criticism as recognition for your hard work. You would not be on people’s radars if your effort was not being noticed.
Success comes to those who go after it with their full force and determination. If you want to be successful, you have to think big and take action. Follow these 5 rules of success and you will rise to the top.
