Principle 23 :

Stay Focused on Your Core Genius. While you may not want to own a large business as these folks do, you can certainly learn to hone in on what you do best and delegate everything else. Successful people know what they do best -- and they move forward by getting better and better at it.

Imagine you're employed as a salesperson for a large corporation, yet the paperwork part of your job keeps you from doing what you do best...selling by phone or in person.

If you could approach your managers and convince them to hire a part-time assistant to process your paperwork, that would free you up to make them (and yourself) more money, wouldn't it?

It's the same with any tasks that keep you from doing what you do best--or from doing what you want to do most.

Even stay-at-home moms can find helpers to take over the difficult or tedious work so they can spend more quality time with their kids. It just takes commitment -- after first determining what you need to delegate.

Principle 22 :

See What You Want, Get What You See, I said that visualization -- or the act of creating in your mind vivid and compelling pictures of what you want -- may be the most underutilized success tool because it greatly accelerates the achievement of any success. 

Research shows that visualization prior to any activity helps improve your performance -- a secret that star athletes and others have known for decades. 

Have you learned yet how to visualize what you want? If not, grab your list of goals (from the Decide What You Want segment of the Mentorship Program) and begin by seeing your goals as already complete.

Principle 21 :

In today's Success Principles Mentorship Message, you'll learn how to identify what you want -- and begin taking steps to get it.

Have you ever made a list of what you want from life? From the kind of career you work at to the kind of income you enjoy ...to your relationships, your health, your vacations, material possessions, spiritual well-being and more?

If you haven't, it may surprise you to know that simply deciding what you want is the often first and most important step to getting it.

It's true. Our brain is a goal-seeking organism. In fact, scientists now know the brain uses its own reticular activating system to filter through the millions of images, sounds, impressions and other messages we receive each day - to let into our conscious mind only that information we need to survive or meet goals we have identified.

When you decide what you want, you instruct the brain to start looking for information, resources, opportunities and other ways to achieve the "want" you've identified. While this may sound like an impossibility given your current situation or circumstances, we've seen countless individuals "suddenly" get what they want--often from a source or opportunity that already existed in their life or sphere of influence. They had just never instructed their brain to find it before.

Principle 20 :

"Be Clear Why You're Here" - 

I write that successful people take the time to understand their life's mission and to determine what they're here to do. They then pursue that role with passion and enthusiasm. Develop  your unique personal qualities such as "enthusiasm"and "creativity."

Principle 19 :

Acknowledge Your Positive Past, I said that research shows over and over again the more you acknowledge your past successes, the more confident you'll become in taking on new challenges and successfully accomplishing them.

That's what successful people do.

They confidently seek out and accept new opportunities for advancement because they have the confidence of a lifetime of much smaller achievements.

Principle 18 :

Eliminate small obstacles...
Make a list of the problems that you would like to remove from your life -- include even minor things, such as a lamp that doesn't work right. Schedule a day or two to fix as many of these problems as you can, starting with the easiest to solve.

In this way, you'll get into the habit of thinking, I know what I want, I know how to get it. Once you're in this mindset, you'll stop resigning yourself to your current situation and start making larger positive changes as well.

Principle 17 :

 Reject rejection...
 Rejection does not prevent success -- fear of rejection does. What stops a man from asking an attractive woman out on a date? What stops an inexperienced salesman from asking the most successful salesman at his firm for advice? They're afraid of rejection -- afraid that if they ask, the answer might be no. But there's absolutely no rational reason to fear rejection.
