Andrew Ferebees seven rules of success

Andrew Ferebees seven rules of successAndrew Ferebees seven rules of successWhat are the rules of success?Rule 1 Define success for yourself everything else is bullsh-tPlain and simple.The first rule of success is that you must create your own definition of success.It doesnt matter what you want to do or how you want to do it (so long as its in the realm of ethics). Success is outcome you want to achieve in your life.If you dont want a 7-figure business, fast cars, and models on a yacht thats fine, do your own thing.If you do want that, then by all means, go for it.Ultimately success is being able to do the things you want to do, when you want to do them, with whom you want to do them.Define it for yourself and realize that everything your friends, family, and society has told you is b.s.Rule 2 Sustained success requires sustained energy (aka health)All greatness requires one thing Energy.If you dont have the energy to wake up early, pull long hours, and think on your feet, you won t be successful Period.The first step that you must take on your path to success is mastering your energy.Exercise daily, sleep 8+ hours, eat clean and healthy foods.This is the first step to productivity and success.Rule 3 Show me your friends and Ill show you your futureWho you spend time with is who you will become.If you spend time with great people who are on a mission and regularly achieve big goals, youll become one of them.If you spend time with losers who have no work ethic, motivation, or ambition, you will become one of them.So make your choice.But choose wisely.Rule 4 Operate from an abundance mindsetThere are only two mindsets you can have in any given situation, abundance or scarcity.When youre operating from an abundance mindset you believe that there is plenty to go around and that you can achieve your dreams without screwing over the world.For example Abundance Mindset Wow There are a lot of people at this party. Im aya I can find a beautiful girl/guy to go him wit h.Scarcity Mindset Wow There are a lot of people at this party. I dont stand a option against men/women like this.Abundance Mindset Wow There are so many new businesses being started. Its awesome because theres mora economic growth and an opportunity for me to achieve my dreams.Scarcity Mindset Wow There are so many new businesses being started. I dont stand a chance against the competition.Do you catch my drift?When you operate from abundance you will see and attract opportunities where others only see and attract obstacles.Rule 5 Express gratitude for what you already haveYour life is amazing.I dont care if you believe me or not It is.The fact that you can read this answer right now proves this.If youd been born 200 years ago, you would have no access to reliable health care, a slim chance of rising out of your socioeconomic status, and very few options when it comes to business and mate selection.2018 is a year of opportunity and abundance.I dont care how hard things are for you right now you have something to be grateful for.So express it on a daily basis and watch the magic unfold.Rule 6 Be present and enjoy the momentMost ambitious and driven people are future focused.They spend most of their time thinking about what they want and how they will get it.This is great But it comes at a cost.When you are living in the past or the future you are not present. You are not truly alive and you are not experiencing THIS moment.To live fully you must embrace the present.Have a plan for the future, learn from your past, but live in the present.I like to say that life should be lived 80% in the present moment, 10% in the past, and 10% in the future.The more present you are, the more you will enjoy life and the more opportunities will come your way.Rule 7 Take actionWithout action you have nothing.You can read all the books, ask all the questions, attend all the seminars and it will all be in vain if you dont act on what youve learned.The ultimate rule of success is that it requires action.Screw the SecretTaking action is the ONLY way to get the life of your dreams.So shut this tab out and go do what you need to do.Success awaits.Stay Grounded,This post first appeared on Quora.
