Here are 5 success tips that are not only powerful, but also easy to understand and simple to implement. You can use these ideas to accelerate success in your work, life and business.

1. Get rid of stuff — You can pretty much buy a product that promises to solve almost any problem, and some of us buy them all. There are products that will teach you how to earn more income, get out of debt, or improve your golf swing.

A side effect of this consumer oriented society is that we end up with a lot of products that either doesn’t perform as expected, or we never use.

We have cable TV channels and DVD movies that we never watch. We own bikes we never ride, and books we never read. We have sofas we never site on and exercise equipment we never use.

Getting rid of the clutter opens us up to receiving new things, and having new experiences. Too much junk clogs up the pipes, so to speak.

Removing the excess from our lives translates into being more focused and more effective in our actions. It means having fewer, but more powerful thoughts, and possibly having fewer, but more meaningful relationships.

2. Stop chasing success — Stop chasing success and looking for the big score. Instead, become task oriented and tackle and complete each task set before you. Set your goals and then become a magnet for the things you want. Envision in your mind what it is you want, and then break down the steps into tasks that are easy to do. The less you chase success, the more likely it is to come your way.

3. Perfect your daily habits — Create daily habits around things that inspire you. Choose 10 things that make sense to form daily habits around. Choose those things that juice you up and replace any old bad habits with these instead.

4. Get your work done in record time — Most of us have been there. You’ve had a month to complete a project, but you’ve hardly worked on it. It’s 3 days before the deadline, and you finish, just under the wire.

If you can finish a project in a day instead of a week, then start immediately and complete it on the first day, and not the last. You can use the remaining time to work on personal goals, your part-time business, or something else that inspires you.

5. Know what you want and determine your outcome — Decide on what you want up front. Make a commitment. Decide to commit to taking the necessary actions, to following through, and decide to accept the consequences of your actions.

Add each of these success tips to your life, one per month for the next 5 months. You’ll see an improvement in your productivity and your results in a short time.
