11 Ways To Fast Track Your Success And Achieve Your Big Goals Sooner
Have you ever wanted to fast track your success and achieve your big goals sooner?
I’m sure we have all wanted to do this at one time or another. The challenge is that life can get in the way, and other people’s priorities become our own. Unless you focus on what’s important to you first, you’ll get lost in a web of things that have no significance in your life.
The second part of fast tracking your success is that your big goals are hard to achieve, so it becomes easier to spend your time on the little things that ultimately don’t make you feel fulfilled.
“It’s time to go even bigger than before and stop looking for the easy way out”
The 11 ways to fast track your success are:
1. Set bigger goals
The quickest way to fast tack your success is to set bigger goals. If you feel like you are nowhere near where you want to be then it’s probably because your goals are just too small.
If you have committed to losing 2kg, then make it 10kg. If you have given yourself six months to leave your job, then make it three months.
The bigger your goals, the bigger the rewards are for achieving them. Small goals won’t get you out of bed in the morning; big goals will.
2. Be even bolder
However you have currently played the game of success until now, you need to be even bolder if you want to fast track your success. The speed of your success will only increase when you make bolder decisions that require guts and determination.
When you start to become bolder, you give more of yourself, and your true personality starts to shine. Forget about what people think and do a few bold acts every week. Then, go to your laptop, turn it on, open your email account, and send me a thank you note for getting your ass into action!
3. Do the most fearful task first
Boy oh boy, it’s tough to break through fear, isn’t it? That’s why you have to face your fears even sooner than you thought.
We all talk about fear and how we will conquer it tomorrow when we’re ready and have had some comfort food to prepare us for the pain. Fear is going to cause you lot’s of pain because you are going to fall over on your ass plenty of times.
What will fast track your success is when you can fall on your face (not your ass) and still get back up with a smile. That’s what you need to do!
“Every successful person you admire has slept in the same bed as fear and knows their friend fear intimately” – Tim Denning
4. Read more autobiographies
Increasing the speed of your success becomes possible when you surround yourself with people who are achieving success already. Now, if you don’t live in the Hollywood Hills then chances are your next door neighbor is not Johnny Deep. Just because you don’t live in Hollywood, doesn’t mean you can’t be surrounded by global superstars.
Fire up your Kindle app, and download books by Michael Jordan, Andre Agassi, Oprah Winfrey, Ariana Huffington, Warren Buffet, etc. These cats will give you all the strategies you need. Aim to read one book like this a week and you’ll get to where you want to go much quicker. Make it two books a week if you’re an over-achiever (this should be everyone reading Addicted2Success).
5. Build a team rather than go it alone
Don’t fall for the delusion that you can do it all yourself. If you attend any business seminar they will tell you pretty quickly that the problem with your business is you. The problem with your business is there is no team to take the heavy load off you.
If you want to fast track your success then you need a team around you. I know what you’re thinking, Tim I can’t afford to hire people! You have got to be more creative than that guys! Hire an intern, use a freelancer, trade services with someone, start a Facebook group and hire your raving fans, just do something!
6. Refocus your time
I’m not sure about everyone else, but I can get lost on my iPhone apps for freakin hours man! Our attention has become like a ping-pong ball and app developers, and advertisers love it. They always wanted our attention, and now they have the ultimate Jedi mind tricks to get it.
That’s why you have to be ten times more disciplined and refocus your time. Start looking at how much time you waste on useless crap that doesn’t give you the speed of success you’re looking for. Take back your life and start time blocking important tasks.
Once you get your time back, you’ll begin getting the level of results you want at a much faster pace.
7. Create content that serves a purpose
What the heck has creating content got to do with fast tracking your success? Everything. We’ve said on Addicted2Success continually that your success is about what you have to give. Entrepreneurship is not about you!
Whatever your passion is and whatever big goals you are chasing, you must be giving content away. It’s the simplest form of giving, and it’s what will add people to your mission. Remember what I said before? You can’t do this whole success thing alone!
As you build a small audience you can then single out the raving fans, approach them via email, and get them to become a part of your vision. On your own you’ll struggle, with a team of three people, you’ll triple your speed of success. This is basic maths guys!
8. Dedicate yourself to one social media platform
I just told you that you need to create free content because that’s how you can give something to the world. Your distribution channel for content is social media. Here’s where everyone stuffs it up though; we all try to be on every platform 24/7.
This strategy will guarantee you of failure. To fast track your success you’ll need to focus on one platform for at least 12 months. This website is proof of that. Addicted2Success was built 100% on Twitter and no other platform to begin with.
Imagine if Joel Brown and his one-man band at the time tried to be on every platform; he would have given up, and you wouldn’t be reading the words I am typing.
9. Make your bed as soon as you wake up
This post already sounds like a mad rant and this point must seem left of field – it’s not. To fast track your success you are going to need to make your mind think you are making progress. Making your bed first thing in the morning helps give you your first win of the day.
All your friends probably don’t bother to make their bed first thing, and that’s why their days spiral out of control so quickly.
10. Do five minutes of a new habit you want to create
Success is built on habits. Fast tracking your success starts with creating new habits that become the building blocks for where you want to go. Don’t make all of this success stuff rocket science. Pick a new habit, start today, and do it for five minutes.
Do not do this new habit for even a second more than five minutes otherwise, you will ruin the habit and not stick at it. After say 2-4 weeks, then consider increasing the time you spend on this new habit. If you’re like me and struggle with even five minutes, try two minutes.
Do two minutes of your new habit every day and you’ll feel like Rocky Balboa. These are the Jedi mind tricks everyone to fast track your success!
11. Simplify everything
Whatever you’re currently doing, it’s too complicated. That’s the harsh truth.
Stop over complicating everything and remove 70% of the skills you think you need. Our lives are over complicated by people that benefit from the over complication. If everything was shown as being simple then there would be no barrier to entry.
Professionals love overcomplicating things so that you will hopefully pay them to take care of these tasks for you. Go against the grain and start simplifying everything you do. Then, share this information with other people and watch your level of success increase ten fold.

How to Alter Your Business Approach With Technological Advancements
Keeping up with technological trends has become a challenge for almost every business owner.
Technology’s evolution has impacted everything, and business is no exception. Keeping up with technological trends has become a challenge for almost every business owner. Entrepreneurs unable to do so are being wiped out of the market.
There is no doubt that AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) have taken over the business world. These technological advancements are impacting decision-making, success percentages, and other entrepreneurial aspects.
Adapting to these developments is integral to business success. Let’s explore how you can accomplish these milestones.
Embed the strength of AI and ML.
AI has modified business operations in major ways. For instance, companies have employed bots for customer support. These bots go through an effective learning process via Machine Learning before being able to answer like humans.
Bots can also perform detailed data analytics and make business moves with high success percentages.
ML is used more for the analysis of data chunks and generating successful predictions. This simply means that business owners do not have to worry about large-scale financial losses.
In terms of deployment and usage, a reputed company like Netflix employs machine learning for decision-making.
Blockchain is increasing the count of business opportunities
Tampering of financial transactions is quite common and causes severe monetary damage to customers. With the rise of digital payments, this risk has increased.
Blockchain is used to elevate your experience for monetary transfers. It combats penetrating events to extract confidential customer information.
Most business sectors are using block chain but finance and supply chain management sections have a higher count. These two corporate sections have several monetary deposits and withdrawals taking place.
In terms of percentage, approximately 72% and 5% of finance and supply chain firms have implemented block chain successfully.
Dedicate Yourself to Continuous Learning and Individual Development
You invest in learning some of the very important skills, including digital marketing, financial management, and how to gain customers as an entrepreneur.
You need to set up your knowledge base about doing business on Coursera and Udemy with the basics that are necessary for the business, building further by networking with experts through webinars.
Besides, Agile methodology will introduce elasticity to your company: this review and feedback system with further correction regularly will allow for enhancing efficiency and promptly reacting to the market.
Developing key skills to achieve goals
Running a business successfully is not only about having niche/domain knowledge. Business owners need to have communication / soft skills as well in addition to niche information.
Here are some key technical/domain-related areas that business owners should have a strong grip on.
Data Storage on Cloud: These days, companies do not store their data on physical servers. Therefore business owners should know how data is stored/edited/removed/updated via AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and other platforms.
Data Analysis/Interpretation Qualities: These days, data is as precious as gold. Business owners with data analysis abilities make correct predictions. As a result, their ventures grow in volume.
Development/Coding Knowledge
Programming knowledge gives business owners an edge whether the application is developed in-house or outsourced. It assists in getting updates deployed and handling application underperformance without getting professional support every time.
Hacking proof framework
There is no benefit of having an advanced automated system if can be penetrated. Successful business owners have above-average knowledge of cyber security and hacking attempts. They are able to choose top-notch anti-hacking software without much of an ambiguity.
Communication Abilities/Soft Skills
Here are some key communication qualities that business owners should have:
Communication/Conversation: Business owners should use to-the-point sentences in both written and oral communication.
Issue Resolution Abilities: Business owners should be able to drill down to problems and solve them. This is done successfully only if an entrepreneur has in-depth business domain knowledge.
Agile Implementations
It is mandatory for business owners to have knowledge of iterative/agile models. With such a competitive environment, it is impossible for business owners to succeed without adopting an agile framework.
Create a productive well-crafted Business Strategy
A productive business venture starts with a clear vision. The first factor making a business successful is the idea behind it. It helps with endless growth and combating competition successfully. Katherine Philips once mentioned that business goals are inevitable if goals are set concretely.
- Goals should be based on smart achievements instead of complexity. Focus on the value that each one of them adds.
- Business objectives should not be vague. Key indicators should be constructed to measure the success/failure of each milestone.
- Be realistic when setting goals. Do not aim at impossible milestones since they can be demotivating.
- Milestones/goals need to be time-bound. Set a completion deadline for each one of them.
- Business goals should not be alien. Owners can think out of the box but not be obsolete / unrelated.
Create a productive well-crafted Business Strategy
Business owners cannot succeed without having a network. Some tips help in this case. Attend conferences and professional gatherings to connect with other entrepreneurs.
Here are some other related points business owners should pay attention to.
- Attend meetings and conferences to stay updated with trends and meet business owners who already have well-set ventures. This helps in enhancing the learning curve of new / growing entrepreneurs.
- Being a part of business communities/groups is very productive. When one shares opinions and discusses decision-making tactics, it helps in preventing errors and enhancing success rate.
- Even the most experienced business owners have mentors as learning never stops. Take part in mentorship programs so there is an assurance that you are following the correct roadmap.
Conclusion
There is absolutely no doubt that business dimensions have evolved with technological advancements. Successful entrepreneurs have grabbed these changes in due course of time and continue to evolve. On the other hand, people following old paths and conventional steps fade out of competition. In a nutshell, keep an eye on the processes and practices you follow as these factors decide success rate.
