For success to be achieved, the first step is to ensure one has a clear vision of their goals and make it the primary, if not only, the objective of one’s life. This rule seems simple enough, but most people actually get distracted by too many conflicting goals they set for themselves.
If one lacks a clear and definite aim, it would be difficult to have the adequate amount of focus to even achieve any of the goals one has set for oneself.
If one lacks a clear and definite aim, it would be difficult to have the adequate amount of focus to even achieve any of the goals one has set for oneself.
Success will come when you are able to identify and stick to your primary goals.
One reason we burden our minds with multiple goals is because we lack confidence in ourselves. The next rule for success is to grow and sustain confidence in oneself. If you don’t have self-confidence, they will be prone to the constant fear of not being enough— young enough, not worthy of love, fear of criticism.
When self-confidence is low, you can make efforts to boost it, confidence is like a muscle and if you exercise it, it’ll grow.

You can increase your self-confidence with practical efforts to wean your mind of fear.
Another thing you’d be wise to grow is your finances as well. To do this successfully is to nurture a healthy saving habit. Saving can be learned, even by the ones who have bad spending habits. It starts with being conscious about one’s income and expenses.
It is important to manage your finances to avoid getting trapped by debt.
To cultivate a proper saving habit, it is advisable to draft up a budget and live within your means and not beyond it.
Those whom I attract to me will reciprocate the acts of kindness and the service that I have rendered others. ~ Napoleon Hill

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!
It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.
I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.
The app it’s so easy to use. I use it while driving or cooking and is great. I love the fact that the chapters are short, so you can finish them quickly. Very knowledgeable.
