Hello guys it's me @giftizy and am here to tell you of some important things we need to stay away from if we want to hit the top and remain there. So many of us are victims of them. I call it that we need to take an avoidance trip in our life to change things and instill new ones. Now let's take this avoidance trip via the tips I would be offering;
1.) Wrong mindset and Perspective: I know I have been clamouring against this from the inception, many of us we see ourselves as failures, as never do well, as a hopeless case e.t.c. But sweetheart that's not true, we need to change that and see ourselves as great. We look at the environment we find ourselves and allow that environment to determine our future. We make lousy statement like nobody has made it in this area, how can I quit drugs when everyone around me are drug addicts, I can't be different. But sweetheart you can be different it is your decision the ability to succeed and fail lies within you, you just need to make the right choice. Nobody can find a person in the crowd, so if you want to follow the crowd to be drug addicts or be failures, you can't be outstanding, for you to be outstanding, it means you have to stand out of the crowd. Always try to be different that is the only way people can look for you and find you. Have the I can mentality, don't ever try to look at the the economic situation of your country by saying after all there is no job and the country is so bad, look at it by saying I can make it in this society no matter what. So many people are still getting richer despite the economic downturn in their country, in fact they even lend to the government of their country. Make those kind of people your role model and stop having a backward mentality. See yourself that in time to come you will lend to nations and will not borrow just like what the bible promised you in Deuteronomy 28:12. Since we are the body of Christ, we need to possess the mind of Christ which is a positive mentality.
2.) Wrong People: Like the science terms that says like poles attract while unlike poles repel, so it is with human being we need to stay around those who would bring out the best in us. Quit staying with people who talk you out of your dreams and goal. Do not compromise by saying I love them so much or we've been friends for ages so I can't leave them or if I leave then I would be so lonely but that is a wrong way to think, like the popular saying 20 friends cannot play for 20 years. At some point in life you need to drop never-do-well friends, try to mingle with people who bring out the best in you, who are always willing to let you take up and face challenges not for you to shy away but let you face anything head-on. A wise man said who you follow determines what follows you. For example if you stay with a friend who use a particular phrase before you know unintentionally you would start using that phrase. The person you associate yourself daily would influence you negatively or positively whether you like it or not. So why not associate yourself with a person who would bring out the best in you. Associate yourself with readers who are born to be leaders.
3.) Wishful Thinking: So many people have good dreams, great visions, but they fail to actualize it because they fail to make good decisions about how they want their life to be. They have a good business idea but they are waiting for millions to enter into their account before they start up, but friends even the so-called rich men we know about started from somewhere they didn't just fly to be rich overnight likes of Ted Turner, Bill Gates, Aliko Dangote, and so on they started small but made it to the top. Yes it is good to start small but do not remain small, have an expansion agenda. Tell yourself even when you have a small shop that I see myself having chains of shops I'm every part of the world. Friends that is not wishing, that is you speaking into your business future because you have a means to actualize it. Friends the bible did not tell us that God blesses our wishes but it tells us that He blesses the work of our hands, so start something,pay the price.Steemit is here to help you to actualize your dreams and goals why not use it to the best of your ability, stop wishing that your SBD would be high and start posting, start paying the price to have a better future. **Don't wish make it happen with whatever opportunity you have.
