How can I achieve success?

Firstly, define what being a success is for you as you see it at present.
You might need to define success in several areas as we don’t live a one-track life. Personal, emotional, physical, family, relationships, work, financial, social, political, environmental, spiritual etc. What would be your definition of success in each of these areas?
You can’t hit a target unless it’s in your sights. Write down, in detail, what success currently means to you in each area. These are your goals.
To help you identify your goals, focus on your strengths and likes. Look at the things at which you excel or about which you are passionate. It is said that if you earn your living at something you enjoy doing, you will never work a day in your life.
Now you have set goals to reach, you need to work out how to get there. You may have heard the old saying, “Set your goals in concrete and your plans in sand.”
Planning can be split into strategic and tactical. Strategic planning is the broad brush-stroke, high level, general type that is fleshed out by low-level, detailed tactical planning. The combination is a roadmap that defines the steps to the attainment of your goal. Just as on a road trip, there may be a need to alter the particular road you take if a bridge is out, tactical planning needs to be flexible.
