If your dream is to be a great athlete, you must learn how to train hard, practice, focus, discipline yourself, sacrifice, be coachable and able to take criticism both constructive and not; plus a million other traits. These and other traits are shared with almost any goal in life. For example, if you want to be a successful recording artist, you'll need the above traits plus be personable, sociable to build a network and team, you may need to learn how to command and capture the attention of a crowd, you'll need to implement social networking and media sites, perform in front of audiences large and small, the list goes on and on.
The good news is that success can be modeled. There are traits that all successful people share. Just like the traits in the previous paragraph can be applied to most of our goals, there are habits all successful people share, pick up Stephen R. Covey's book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" or Napoleon Hill's, "Think and Grow Rich." You will realize the skill set, traits, habits of people that achieve their life's goals have a lot in common, and a lot of it has to do with stepping out of the box.
If you're in music, business, media, housing, finance, etc, you will notice they all share a development or evolution. Someone thought outside of the box, stepped out of the normal comfort zones and came up with something different and amazing. Look at Steve Jobs and Apple, constantly coming up with new products that enhance our lives and often quality of life. There is risk taking involved, stepping out of the comfort zone.
Once you establish your goal, find out what it takes to be successful and plan how you are going to get there and stay there. This may be babysteps, or you may dive in head first, but implement proven business models.
Success can be duplicated and more often than not, you will have to do things you do not normally do in every day life to accomplish your goals.
I have never built a website, recorded an album, played guitar and sang in a band before. I have never tried to engage and communicate with a crowd, heck, I always wanted to be the guy on the left of the vocalist, now I must learn to do that job too! I have never tried to design a marketing campaign for a rock band, I can go on and on with a list things I have never done that I am doing now.
I don't just write this stuff, I myself am stepping out of my comfort zone daily to make Fantazzmo a successful recording artist.
Best of luck to you in your life's endeavors!
