What Does Success Look Like?
成功看上去像什么？

One of the primary reasons that people struggle to become successful is because they don’t have a clear vision of what they want to accomplish. Instead, they have vague ideas of the benefits they would like to enjoy, but they lack a solid strategy for getting there.
人们苦苦奋斗挣扎想要变得成功的一个主要原因就是他们对自己想要取得什么样的成就没有一个清晰的先见。取而代之的是他们对自己心向往之的成功会带来什么好处却有一个模糊的概念，而且他们还缺少一个行之有效的策略让他们能走到那一步。
This kind of scenario will often lead to jumping around from one idea to another, but never really committing to any of them. When results don’t come quickly, it’s easy to lose interest and move on to something that might bring faster success with less effort.
这样的情况常常会导致一个人从一个想法跳到另一个想法上去，却从来不会专注于坚持其中的任何一个。当结果没有很快的显现出来的时候，这样的人会很容易失去兴趣转而把注意力放在了自认为付出较少努力却有可能更快成功的事情上。
Has this been your experience?
你有同样的经历吗？
In these cases, the problem is rarely that success is unattainable. Most of the time the problem has to do with clarity. Either we don’t have a clear enough vision of exactly what we want to accomplish, or we don’t have a viable strategy for turning our vision into a reality.
这种情况下，问题真的就是成功是那样高不可攀。大多数时候问题的关键还是理清思路。要么我们对我们到底要完成什么样的目标没有清晰的概念，要么我们没有一个可行的计划将目标变成现实。
If we don’t know exactly where we want to go, how can we possibly design a good strategy for getting there? The reliability of the strategy is directly related to the clarity of the vision! So the first step toward success is always to identify precisely what you want to accomplish. I am not just talking about financial or career success here. These principles apply to success in any endeavor in life.
如果我们不知道我们到底要去哪里，我们怎么能够制定出一个好计划到达哪里呢？计划的可行性直接取决于你对目标的认识清醒程度！所以成功的第一步往往就是给你想要完成的目标下一个清晰的定义。我在这讲的不仅仅是财富或事业上的成功。下面的原则会让你的每一份努力化作成功的果实。
Planning for success
谋划如何走向成功
Below you’ll find a simple 5-step process to help you develop a clear vision and put it into action:
接下来你会发现一个帮助你建立明确的目标然后付诸行动的简单好用的五步成功法：
1) Know exactly what you want to accomplish and why. Rather than just thinking about the perks and benefits that your success will bring, focus on identifying the reasons you want to accomplish this particular goal. Why is this success important to you and how will it add value to your life? How will this accomplishment affect or contribute to the lives of others and especially those closest to you? What are your deeper motives?
1）你要知道你想要的究竟是什么及其原因。与其呆呆地空想你的成功将会给你带来的财富和好处，不如专注于思考你想要完成这个独特的目标的原因。为什么完成这个目标对你来说是那样重要以及它会给你的人生带来什么样的增值？你成功后会对周围的人产生什么影响或帮助，尤其是那些和你很亲近的人？你的更深层次的动机是什么？
2) Have an approximate timeline for completion. Realisticall, how long should it take for your objective to be completed? Barring any unexpected delays, have a general idea of when you should reach your goal. This is important because it adds clarity to your vision. Your mind will adjust your plans and actions accordingly. Very often things take however long we allow them to take, so having a tentative timeline adds structure to our strategy.
2）为你的计划列张时间表。你将会花多少时间完成目标？除了未料到意外延迟外，你要对花费多长时间完成目标有个大致的概念。这很重要，因为它增加了你视野的清晰度。你的大脑会相应地调整计划和行动。很多事我们让它们拖延多久它们就会拖延多久，所以制定一个暂时的时间表让我们的计划更有可操作性。
3) Have a list of clear action steps. Besides knowing exactly what you want to achieve, understanding the steps involved is absolutely vital. Think about the end result you want to create, and then consider exactly what you will need to do in order to get there from where you are right now. Write each step in order, and make a note of any obstacles you are likely to face along the way. Now, give some forethought to how you will overcome those obstacles so you won’t get caught off guard.
3）列一张步骤清晰的计划表。除了知道你到底想要的是什么，理解实现目标的每一个步骤也是至关重要的。想想你想要创造的最终结果，然后思考你必须要做些什么事才能让你从这里到达那里。按顺序将每一步骤写下来，然后记下一路上你可能会遇到的任何障碍。现在，想想如何才能克服这些障碍，这样到时候你就不会措手不及。
4) Have a solid plan for putting those steps into action. Is there a clear progression that needs to be followed for your strategy to work? If a delay comes up, will it require that you change the order of your action steps? You can’t plan for every possibility, but having a plan B will add flexibility to your strategy and help you stay within your timeline. Once you start, make sure you put your plans into action, and keep them in action.
4）制定一个把这些步骤付诸行动的有力计划。让你的计划行之有效你需要做出哪些改进？如果一个小计划没有按时完成，那么你是否应该改变一下你行动的步骤？你无法预见到每一种可能性，但是有一个B计划可以增加计划的灵活性而且还能让你跟上计划的进度。一旦开始，你一定要确信你能把计划付诸行动，并且要持之以恒。
5) Finally, re-evaluate and adjust as necessary. Once you are moving forward toward your vision, it’s important to avoid unnecessary detours and delays. To do this you will need to evaluate your progress and make any needed adjustments. Expect circumstances to change because they will. That’s why you need the ability to respond accordingly if you want to experience success.
5） 最后，重新评估和调整你的计划是必须要做的事。一旦你开始朝着目标前进，避免不必要的弯路和拖延是十分重要的。为了做到这点，你必须要评估你的进度和做出必要的调整。外部环境总是在变化。这也正是为什么你需要掌握随机应变这种能力的原因，如果你想要成功的话。
Plan to succeed
走向成功
This may sound like a lot of work, and perhaps that explains why success continues to elude so many. We all know the old quote: “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail”
这听上去好像要花费很多工夫，但这也许正好解释了为什么成功不是很容易就能得到的。我们都知道这一句古话：“仓促行事者，必败。”
Success in any area of life rarely happens by accident. Those who understand and implement the process correctly are the ones that succeed. In my Breakthrough Strategy Coaching practice, these are among the most common issues that need to be addressed.
生活中的各种成功都是偶然发生的。那些懂得正确地理解和执行计划的人才是那些获得成功的人。在我的战略突破实战指导中，这些是最常见的需要解决的问题。
How about you? Maybe you want to lose some weight or get in better shape. Perhaps you want to create a new business or take your career to the next level. In a relationship, both people can go through this process together with the goal of adding greater value to their partnership. If you have been chasing success in any area of your life, I encourage you to put more thought into the five steps listed above. If you do, you’ll likely find yourself on the fast track to success like never before!
那么你呢？也许你想要减掉一些体重或者想变得更苗条。也许你想要创业或者想要自己的事业更上一层楼。在人际关系中，双方都可以以增加合作的价值为目标一起实践这些步骤。如果你在追求成功，我鼓励你去多多思考上文提到的5个步骤。如果你那样做了，你会发现你正以一种从未有过的状态快步走向成功。
