The Six Steps to Greatness

In whatever position we may find ourselves, we all have our own hopes and dreams. While for most these might be futile and just be fantasy, there is a small percentage out there who decide that this will become their reality. Not only do they see this as a possibility, they know without a shadow of doubt that it will become their destiny.

The kind of people who know this don't live their life in a haphazard way. They have a definite plan and purpose, while to the contrary, the dreamers do not. They hope for chance and live their life as a gamble. What sets them apart is having a plan of purpose or what I would call "The Six Steps To Greatness".


To have an idea that will bring value to others and make a difference to a persons' life. More often than not, it is usually something very simple or an improvement of another's idea that offers even greater value.
To visualise the idea in its completion. To see the end result of a goal in full technicolor. Draw the picture in your mind and even sketch it on paper. Feel it, see it and know that it will soon become your reality.
To map out your plan. Figure out how you are going to achieve your goal. From your end result, work back on all the things you need to do to make it a reality. Write down all the goals that you will need to achieve to complete your task.
Put down a deadline to when it will be completed. Don't just let the goal drift and hope that you will achieve it some day. Attach a definite date and push yourself in completing it. Be realistic, but don't make it too easy.
Take action now! This is the most important and crucial part of all. Without this nothing has ever been achieved. Put time aside and whether it is one hour or six hours a day, don't let anything distract you in this time. Give this time your full attention. Imagine two hours a day, five days a week (give yourself the weekend off) dedicated to your project. That is ten hours a week and forty hours a month! Imagine what you can achieve.
And finally, as you complete all your goals along the way to your ultimate goal, don't forget to treat yourself as a reward, as you complete them. This will keep you motivated and you will know you are a step closer to a better life. In life, you are either moving closer to your goals or away from them. With "The Six Steps To Greatness" within your grasp, you not only have the opportunity to move closer to immediate and short term goals, but to long term, never ending goals, throughout your life.
