Creating your own success story

First month in the company starting as a Finance assistant, I was placed with peers who had no hopes to grow & nothing else to do but blaming others, I wanted to control my own careerwas always clear what I wanted out of my job. I spoke boldly about my dreams, my passions, without a doubt or a fringe, Breaking the glass ceiling was tough & requires alot of luck. but fortune favours the brave & 90% effort brings 10% luck comes along with.
.
I worked on my own strategy, rather than following one success model & the ROI of this decision is beyound expectations. Below are few things, that worked for me:
.
Breaking the mental barrier: If you break your own mental barrier, getting others confidence would be just a matter of time. Others believe most of the time what you believe about yourself & self perseverance is the greatest asset to succeed.
.
Choosing the right circle: Its important to know how to differentiate champions from winners. Its always good to be around champions, who don't float on water but know the art to water walking. Being in such a circle at work opens unlimited options for you.
.
Creating the right hypothesis: There is no one way to succeed in your career. You have to seggregate workaholics from lifeohlics (those who live life at the best, but are successful), evaluate what works for them & what can you adopt from each one of them. If success is at the price of your life, then I am better off unsuccessful.
.
Every day a new beginning: CHANGE is the ultimate key to success. You got to remember, two bad days can be changed with one outstanding day; which requires changing yourself, your personality (developing it) & bring in some thing new to your work. This would keep you energetic, you'll keep on surprising people around you.
.
The right marketing mix: Communication is as important, as delivering your projects on time, choosing the right career path or the right job. Communication is the most important factor that segregate a winner from a champion. The more you know to sell your work, the more easy for you to climb up steps.
.
Win-win choices: Finally, its extremely important to do what makes you happy, what would lead you to good night sleep. This pertains to the projects, the jobs you choose & even the personality you develop in yourself.
.
If success could be defined in the most simple way, then its nothing more than what gives you satisfaction, it could be via a high profile job, a good pay or ability to reach home at time & spend quality time with your family & friends.
