Ok. I am going to assume (because I have seen it time and time again) that you are great at something. We all are. There are some areas in our life that we get great results in. Whether it is our fitness prowess, our great relationships, our ability to make money, our spiritual connection, our ability to make quick decisions, to select the perfect bagel, or a multitude of other options. We all have a gift in something.

So why not figure out what you do that makes you succeed in that particular area of your life. What are the strategies that you employ? Is it the way you approach it, the clarity of your vision, the reason you have for doing it, the ability to see it from different angles, or some other personal strategy that you use. Once you have worked out the magic formula, apply it to other areas in your life.

Let me give you an example from my own life. I have always achieved great result when I am physically training or doing a physical challenge. So breaking it down; my strategies are:

1. I have a lot of great reasons why I should do it for my health, wellbeing, energy levels, etc 
2. I do it consistently and habitually
3. Before the training session I set a goal or challenge for myself which is to a high standard. For example, I plan to run up and down a sand dune 20 times. 
4. I see myself doing it
5. Then I just get in and do it.

But here is the key step (for me) I think. I allow it to be OK if I do not do it 20 times. I take the pressure off myself. So I don't feel as though I have to do it. It then becomes my choice.
The funny thing is that I usually attain the goal that I have set, and in a lot of cases I actually exceed it.

So the strategies that I can apply to other areas of my life to get higher success are: 

1. Get clear on my reasons
2. Be consistent
3. Set high standards
4. Visualize me doing it / achieving it / having it
5. Get started
6. Be ok with not hitting the mark. This puts me more in the flow of life, rather than forcing life.

What area in your life have you got the greatest talent or the best results from? And do you have the key there to success in other parts of your life?

TAKE ACTION
To increase your success in other areas of your life do the following simple steps: 

• Identify what you are good or great at in life
• Break it down into the steps that you physically and mentally take to achieve these great results
• Identify the main keys to your success. What makes the difference? 
• Apply the same strategies to other parts of your life. If you have done it once, you can definitely do it again
