What Are the Three Success Factors? (2024)

Well, here's a question that I hear a lot...

Not necessarily exactly like this, but around the lines of: what do I need to be successful?

Even though there isn't a secret recipe for success as such, there are elements that are common when you are looking for this state.

You see, it's like baking a cake. You can choose the specific flavour or specific type of element, but you always need, at a minimum:

• Flour (the foundation of the cake), a liquid (otherwise you can't get the right consistency), and a leavening agent (to help with growth and the right consistency).

So, what are the three key elements of success?

👇👇👇

I like to call them the 3 C's:

💥Clarity: Before you can go after it, you need to know what success looks like for you.

Like with any project - how will you know when you have finished it?

If you start remodelling a house, you need to tell the builders what you them to do for you to be happy with the new state of it. You can't simply tell them to come in and 'do some work'.

No, you need to be specific about what rooms you want done and what you are looking to change.

💥Commitment: The willingness/ the desire to follow through with your plan and achieve your goal.

You can't start a marathon without the burning desire of crossing the finishing line - otherwise, we all know that you'll never do it!

To be able to achieve your objective, you need to truly want it and know that this is what will make you happy.

💥Confidence: Nothing is achieved if you don't believe you can do it.

Last, but not least you need to truly believe that you have what it takes to achieve that goal.

If you don't trust you can jump that high, you won't be able to put all your effort into it, and, let's face it, you won't jump.

The key factors to success are common across any big project: you need to know what you want/ define the goal (clarity), have the willingness to do what it takes to achieve it/ plan and execute (commitment), and believe that you can do it (confidence).
