The top 4 secrets of success 

Take a look at these secrets of success. These top 4 secrets will help you to understand why success is not an accident.

1. Defining what is success for you?
   As discussed above, the meaning of success is different for all. Be honest, have you ever considered what it means to you? No, then take out your pen and answer this question. Besides personally, also consider what success means to you professionally.
   This will help you to understand the meaning of success in your current stage of life.
2. Create your success formula
   What do you understand by the success formula? We apply them in different areas of our life. However, rather than calling them formulas, we introduce them as plans, routines etc.
   Follow these steps to create your success formula. Firstly, define what you want to achieve? Then take massive action and repeat it regularly.
3. Fast-track your success-by-success modeling
   While doing something new, you have two alternatives. The first is to start and learn from the errors. Contrary to it, the second is to learn from the experienced professionals to taste your success.
   Everyone is not an expert in everything. So, it is great to learn from experts to fast-track your success.
4. Developing your success disciplines
   Nevertheless, fruitful results require skills, patience and discipline. If there is a lack of focus and energy, then you can’t think of your success.

What is the most important thing to become successful?

Hard work, honesty, focus and numerous other qualities are essential for becoming successful. However, experts suggest that planning plays a key role in your success.

Successful people are planners and they don’t believe in luck. If you have a plan, then you know the next steps well. Therefore, there is no need to sit and wait for anything. 

One perfect example of this is ‘article writing’. Imagine, you have written an article in 8 hours, but you don’t have an outline to follow. Now tell me, will it make any sense? I can hear your big ‘no’.

Therefore, without planning you can’t imagine your success.

What are the common obstacles to success?

There are numerous obstacles to success. From a wide list, some major obstacles are comparison, envy, blame, distraction and fear. Take a look at their brief description.

1. Comparison
   Do you know what is the popular quality of successful people?
   Yes, they don’t compare themselves to others. They know that everyone is unique. Henceforth, there is no sense in comparing us with others. Compare yourself from your starting to the endpoint. Meanwhile, where you have come from and what is your final destination?
2. Envy
   In simple words, it is the art of counting another’s blessings rather than your own. Envy destroys success because if you focus on what you don’t have then you can’t stay happy and become successful.
3. Fear
   Risks are compulsory to become successful but fear is optional. If you are afraid of failing, then you have almost lost the battle.
   If you don’t permit your fear to stand in the way of your success, then you can move ahead wiser, stronger and smarter.
4. Blame
   What you are today is because of you. So, blaming others for your success and failure is not fair. Am I right?
   No matter what the problem is, spend your time and energy in solving it rather than blaming others. By fixing the problems you will become successful. Contrary to it, by blaming others you just make excuses of your failures.
5. Distraction
   Focus on your task is a must to be successful. If you wish to taste your success then avoid distractions. Instead of hearing the voice of this selfish world, focus on hearing the noise of your success.Therefore, here are some popular obstacles to success. To be successful, identify today which obstacle is holding you back. After identifying, navigate them with these tips and tricks.

Firstly, clarify what are your goals and focus on the small things. It is also suggested to stop ruminating, allowing others to control you, blaming others and waiting for the perfect time.
