[ad_1]
A collection of success tips that I have gathered over many years of working with independent online business entrepreneurs. I have created a list of my 100 favorites that I personally follow to drive forward my online home business. I organized the tips into areas covering attitude and discipline, focus and visualization, time and task management, income and lifestyle, knowledge and skills, personal growth and lifestyle, evaluating your activity, and giving and adding value.
ATTITUDE & DISCIPLINE
1. Be persistent and give yourself time for momentum to kick in.
2. Make up in numbers what you lack in skills.
3. Celebrate success at every step.
4. Learn to manage the opinions – everyone has a right to have one – never make it personal.
5. You are not the message, you are the messenger.
6. Your family and friends may not understand the journey you are on.
7. Everything works when we work.
8. If you get overwhelmed and confused, go back to doing the basics.
9. Pass the three-part test – loyalty, work habits, consistency.
10. Have a warrior spirit. Set objectives and take action every day.
11. Make a commitment to any new activity. Succeeding at something is about taking not making a decision.
12. Being successful is the ability to continue with your plan long after the emotion and circumstances surrounding your original decision has passed.
13. Your confidence is what makes you attractive in the market place. People buy people they know, like and trust.
14. Avoid negative thinking and negative people that bring you down and steal your dreams.
15. FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Growth comes from stepping outside your comfort zone.
16. Run to your fears. The place where your greatest fears live is also the place where your greatest growth lies. (Robin Sharma)
17. An ounce of action is worth a ton of ebooks.
18. All excuses are equal and none of them count.
FOCUS & VISUALISATION
19. Know what you want, why you want it, and when you want it by. Write it down, read it twice a day. Know the price and pay the price.
20. Visualize your destiny – 'see it' and plan it – be very specific about what success looks like and feels like, and do this for each and every milestone or goal you set.
21. If you think you can or think you can not, you will always be right. (Henry Ford)
22. Try to be solution focused.
23. Understand the true power of dreams and goals, they act like magnets pulling us forward and need to be strong enough to break away from the past pulling your back.
24. Only an idea has the power to spread.
25. The only thing you need to believe in is your own work ethic and how badly you want to succeed.
26. Keep your inner flame going with personal development and being active in the community.
27. Use positive language. Words, thoughts, actions, results. Pursue all your challenges and obstacles with a positive mental attitude.
28. Mental visualization is all important to your longer term success. How do you want to see yourself, how you hold yourself, your expectations – create a detailed set of images of who you want to be.
TIME & TASK MANAGEMENT
29. Get organized.
30. Consistency is far better than the occasional blitz.
31. Create a daily method of operation, discipline yourself and be accountable to yourself.
32. Everything works-but find a daily method of operation that works for you, around your personal situation and commitments.
33. Fill your time only with productive activities.
34. Set out your goals and work backwards so you know what needs to get done.
35. Develop a sense of urgency and get into massive action.
36. Remember that you, of all people, deserve your undivided attention.
37. Anyone or anything that tries to distract you from your mission and goals should not be tolerated.
38. Being busy is not the same as being productive. Do not be busy being poor, be busy adding value to your life.
39. Develop good time management. It's not the hours you put into your business, it's the business you put into your hours.
40. Lead flow is the source of your momentum and income growth. Do not over-worry on conversions until you have a good lead flow into your business.
41. Support and encourage your team members, but do not be responsible for someone else's business. Balance motivating and guiding with encouraging independence.

43. Get going fast, massive action equals massive results.

52..Avoid discounting. People do not buy on price, they buy on value.
53. 80% of the world does what everyone else does and lead an ordinary, average life. Only 3% live extraordinary lives because they make extraordinary choices and do extraordinary things.
54. You are the person that sets the pace of your business. Make a decision on exactly what your goals are and develop the daily discipline to achieve them.
KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS
55. Know your craft and be knowledgeable, committed, loyal and enthusiastic about the products you choose to market and the company.
56. Keep it simple, do not reinvent a proven formula.
57. If you get stuck, find ways to get out of the glue quickly to avoid negative impact.
58. Do not think about what you know, be curious about things you do not yet know.
59. If you have doubts, learn more about your company, your products, your business, your craft.
60. Better to personally act upon the information contained in two good books than to be able to quote from a hundred.

71. Develop a positive 'can-do' 'will-do' attitude fueled by your desire to succeed.
72. Affirm your belief in yourself, every single day celebrate your achievements and breakthroughs.
73. Learn and adopt what successful people do. Master the fundamentals that are working before you modify, adapt and innovate.

85. If you're doing the activity, getting the numbers, you're energy and attitude right, it's usually something missing from your skill set. Communication.
86. If you fail to meet your expectations on any one day, do not drop the ball but work twice as hard the next. Do not get used to accepting dropping the ball. Get up tomorrow a little bit better.
