Success is possible for anyone if you know the right steps. In this article, I will share with you the top 5 lessons I learned from Jack Canfield’s success principles. These lessons can help you achieve your goals in life.
The Success Principles condenses the 64 lessons Jack Canfield learned on his journey to becoming a successful entrepreneur, author, coach, and speaker into six parts that will help you transform your mindset and take control of your life so you can know where you are and where you want to be.
Lesson 1: Taking 100% Responsibility for Your Life
I have learned from Jack Canfield’s success principles that I am 100% responsible for my life, and every success I want to achieve depends on how I take responsibility for it. This includes the level of my achievements, my productivity or the work I do, the quality of my relationships, the state of my health, my income, and my feelings—everything!
For example, if you want to create the life of your dreams, you must take 100% responsibility for your own life. It means letting go of all your excuses, all your stories of victimhood, all the reasons why you can’t and why you haven’t succeeded, and all the blaming of your external circumstances.
Lesson 2: Take Action
“The world doesn’t pay you for what you know; it pays you for what you do.” I also learned from Jack Canfield that the thing that separates winners from losers more than anything else is that winners take action. People always ask how and why successful people and company leaders are so successful; a significant part of it is that they simply made the decision to act.
Lesson 3: Be Prepared When Opportunity Knocks
In his book Success Principles, Jack Canfield says that in order to achieve any goal you want to achieve, you must first prepare yourself so that you can take advantage of the opportunity when it presents itself.
For example, when you have a clear vision of the goals you want to achieve in life, you start preparing to achieve those goals. By preparing yourself, you are putting yourself in a position to recognize and take advantage of the various opportunities that come your way.
This is a very important point that I learned from Jack Canfield, and I have applied it to myself in every successful endeavor I want to achieve.
Lesson 4: Plan for your day the night before.
I learned from Jack Canfield that one of the most powerful tools that high achievers use for chunking things down, gaining control over their life, and increasing their productivity is to plan the next day the night before. I have also learned that success in life depends on my daily routine and how I implement plans.
Lesson 5: Changing behaviors changes results
Jack Canfield also learned from his book that if I want to change my life, I must first change my behavior. For example, if you want to see different results in your life, it is important to change your attitude. How you behave determines how things turn out for you. So make sure it helps you achieve what you want in life.
