<\/p>\n

Before you can define success, you should make a list of what success looks like to you. This list should include definitions, examples, goals (both tangible and non-tangible), and steps you can take to realize these goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This article will break all of this down for you because it can become quite overwhelming.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Remember that this is personal. Your definition of success should be unique to you because YOU are unique.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And there is nothing wrong with being unique.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What Does it Mean to Be Successful?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Success is and should be extremely personal. Do not choose a particular definition or vision of success because it looks cool in an Instagram video (it was probably a paid ad taken in a rented Ferrari).\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is no right or wrong way to define success and, similarly, there is no right or wrong way to go about achieving that success for yourself. The more\u00a0personalized your goals<\/a>, the more personalized your action plan will need to be.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How to Achieve Success in Life<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another interesting thing about success is that it isn\u2019t a goal or destination \u2014 it\u2019s a MINDSETyou take on to achieve your goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s also a process or a set of steps you take to achieve your goals. (Trust the process \u2014 right?!)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And like all other mindsets and processes, you don\u2019t just drop it once you achieve your goals. Instead, you adopt it so you can carry it with you forever.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Successful people don’t just quit and drop out of life once they’ve achieved a goal say to become a New York Times<\/em> bestselling author. (Hint: Ramit has and he’s still going)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, success isn\u2019t an easy feat to accomplish. This is why Ramit wants to help you rewire how you think about success and help you break down the barriers to success once and for all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Set a Realistic Goal<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How often have you set a New Year\u2019s Resolution \u2014 and have it completely fail by the end of the year (actually, fail by the end of February)?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Maybe you set a vague goal like, \u201cI\u2019m going to get healthy this year!\u201d Of course, at first, the idea of getting healthier is quite exciting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then a few days go by, and you still haven’t bought a gym membership. And you just couldn’t pass up the buy-one-get-one-free Doritos promotion at your local grocery store.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the issue with goal setting<\/a>: the goals many people set for themselves are simply too broad or too vague \u2014 and you have no idea where to start. So when you set a goal like, \u201cI want to get healthy,\u201d you end up spinning your wheels.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, you do want to get out of your comfort zone, but you also want your objectives to lead to success.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is why Ramit is a big proponent of SMART objectives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-oriented<\/strong>. And with each element in SMART objectives, you\u2019re going to want to ask yourself a set of questions that\u2019ll help you develop a goal that you can realistically achieve.<\/p>\n
