Every self development guru has a different approach to success, but what people really want is a simple recipe for success that produces results under any circumstance. I've been using such a formula for years. When you see how well this works, you'll easily make this a part of your results getting routine. After a while, you'll forget you're actually doing it.

I did not come up with this formula myself. I learned it from Tony Robbins' "Personal Power II" home audio series. In a nutshell, it's a four step formula for achieving results in any area of your life.

No matter what it is you want to accomplish, this plan can be used to achieve results faster and easier. If you're like some, you might find it hard to believe that this can work for you. That is exactly why the hardest part of this is that you must put away all doubt and ignore your beliefs and experiences.

In order for this recipe to work, you must realize that you are the biggest obstacle to your success. What you must commit to is taking action, regardless of any fears or doubts about whether or not success is possible.

As you know, there is power in simplicity. Just look at the invention known as the wheel. It's so simple, yet incredibly useful as anyone who has tried to drive a car without wheels will tell you.

Many people think that you have to work hard to get ahead, and therefore something that seems too easy doesn't have much value. Don't confuse the simple power of this system for something that seems too easy. Passing an electric current through a wire is simple, but inventing the light bulb was no easy task.

In order to take action, you need motivation. When it comes to motivation, renewal of that motivation is key. Having this formula with guidelines goes a long way to renewing your motivation when you need it. Here is the four step formula for success that will work for anything you want to accomplish.

1. Decide on your outcome - You must decide on what you want. You can't get where you want to go if you don't have a destination in mind. Determine what it is you really want and make up your mind to get it. It sounds obvious, but most people spend much of their time wishing and very little time deciding.

2. Act -- You must make a second decision and decide to make a change. You must decide to take immediate action on your first decision. Then, resolve to take those actions that work toward your goal. Do this regardless of fear, doubt, or any ongoing indications that you may not get what you want.

3. Track progress -- Check your progress and notice what is working and what is not. Do more of what is working, and change or drop what is not working. Keep fine tuning your actions until you achieve the results you want.

4. Use modeling -- Don't reinvent the wheel. It's much easier to copy what someone else has done. If you want to be successful, then model those who already are. You can greatly enhance and accelerate your progress if you use modeling. Then, when you see what works, improve upon it.

This recipe for success has worked well for me over the years, and it can work for you as well. I hope you'll use it to get where you want to go.
