Have a goal that you think is a reach? Are you interested in cars? Well, Porsche Professional is a new program that helps new entrepreneurs make their dream a reality. With Porsche Professional, all it takes is following five simple steps which ultimately lead to finding your success.
The 5 steps to follow to be able to achieve this goal are as followed:
- Create a Short Term and a Long Term Goal
- Create a plan
- Continuously take action
- Surround yourself with community that pushes you
- Embrace Failure and Learn from it
Creating a Short and Long Term Goal
the creation of a short term and a long term goal is extremely important to becoming successful. It gives an entrepreneur a guideline to frame their work towards. A short term goal includes the necessary steps to get to the bigger goal. For example, the first car that someone would buy would not be a Porsche, it would be a something along the lines of a Toyota Camry or Honda Civic. These are stepping stones needed to be able to achieve the Long term goal of buying a Porsche. Now for the Long term goal, it frames your mind set and motivates towards a “finished” product that you can physically see. Setting these goals are the first step to finding your success.
Creating a Plan
Now that the goals are set, you need to set a plan to be able to achieve each of these. First with the short term goal, you need a short term plan. A short term plan requires more urgency if you wanted to be able to accomplish your long term goal. Short term does not require as much in depth work, it is more of a “one step at a time” type of thing. For long term, a more in depth plan would be necessary. You need to create a long term plan which includes the short term goals/plans, all leading up to the ultimate goal.
Continuously Taking Action
Now that the goals and plans are set in stone, start working towards them and do not sway. It will not always be easy, but it takes discipline. If you stick to the discipline, it will actually get easier as time goes on. So, in order to actually achieve these goals, you must stick with it. Each goal requires steps, and if those steps are not taken, then the goals will never be achieved. You must continue to take action even if it gets hard, because taking action is making progress.
Surrounding yourself with Community
Arguably one of the most important steps of being successful is having a community around you that not only encourages you, but pushes you to be better. This could look like a group of people with similar goals, or someone who is seen as a ‘Mentor’ who has already achieved similar goals. Having people with experience over you and pouring into you is such an important thing that is often overlooked. These people can know what does and does not work and how to avoid it. Likewise, a community around with similar goals can help to inspire and learn along side of others, subconsciously proving to you that these goals are possible and achievable. It is easy to get burnt out or feeling like you are going to give up, but having a community will help push you to keep going.
Embracing Failure
Failure can be one of the scariest things in the world of success, but failures are actually what help you to succeed. A quote by Charles Barkley says “If you are afraid of failure, you do not deserve to be successful”. This quote just about sums it all up. For example, Thomas Edison failed 1000 on the lightbulb before he created the one we have today, but each of those failures taught him something new each time, leading up to the final success story. In a way, you want to fail, you want to learn and grow, and if you always avoided doing something in fear of failure, you will never learn to do that thing. Failure is a very important step to becoming successful.
