Build steps to success

In today's busy world it can be tough to manage your commitments to work, family and yourself. Many people seek guidance through detailed self-help books and seminars, but some simple steps could help you find balance and success in life.

Make a plan
Setting goals is the first step to being successful. Have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish and outline steps to achieve it. Be sure to allow for flexibility in your scheduling, as some weeks will be busier than others. If you make a to-do list be sure it includes quick, simple steps for completing a task.

Think positively
Employ the power of positive thinking. Seeing yourself as successful improves your confidence, which allows you to undertake new ventures with more energy and enthusiasm. Optimism not only improves the enjoyment you receive from a job, but allows you to spot opportunities that others might miss.

Treat others with respect
You never know where the next great opportunity will come from. Build your network of friends and colleagues by offering encouragement for their endeavors. People with strong support from friends and family are more likely to succeed than those who try to go alone. 

Don't hide from problems
Give yourself time to address problems in your life or at work. Many times these situations will not resolve themselves and ignoring them will simply add to your stress. Handle big problems one at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed and see them through to completion.

Put your money to work
Your time is a valuable resource. Before delving into a big weekend project, consider if it might be more worthwhile to pay someone else to do it so you can make better use of your time. It might be a professional that could get a job done in half the time or a neighbor's kid you pay to mow the lawn.

No matter how you define success, following these steps will make the process of obtaining it easy and enjoyable.
