Be A Maverick
If you have ever researched the way most successful people made it to the top, you will see a common thread – they were typically mavericks. Successful people don’t get so hung up on “how it is always done” but rather focus on “how could it be done”. If you want to make it big, try doing something that has never been done before. For example, Godaddy, the web hosting and domain name company, did something that was considered absurd. They bought advertising during the Super Bowl. What? A website domain name and hosting company bought those ads? It ended up putting them on the map, almost doubled their market share, and made them a lot more successful. Keep that in mind when you have an idea. The fact that it hasn’t been done before doesn’t mean it cannot be done

Almost there! We are walking through the top 10 tips to success in life and business.
Here is tip #9.
Delegate
This is a tough one for sure, and often is the pitfall of the “close to successful”. In order to be successful, one must learn to delegate. If a person tries to do everything for themselves, one will find that everything is only partially done, and nothing gets your full attention. This only leads to fragmented success on many levels. Delegation of tasks is crucial to moving forward. Find someone who can do the tasks you need done, and hire them to do the task. If you don’t have a lot of money, offer them something else, such as free product or services, or a percentage of the profits they will ultimately be bringing in by doing the tasks. There are always ways to work out trades or other mutually beneficial means of getting a task done. If you can free up your time to do something else, you will be benefiting as well.

Shh…Listen
Tune in, instead of turning off. This sounds simple, but you would be surprised at how many people walk right past huge treasure troves of knowledge simply because they did not pay attention. Tune in, and listen to what is going on. You cannot learn if you don’t listen, but if you do, you will be able to pick up all sorts of interesting facts and data you can use in your daily life.

Take A Break
Once you have a chance, be sure to stop and smell the roses. Take a break to enjoy where you are, and look forward to where you are going. Don’t get so bogged down in the destination that you forget to enjoy the journey.

Today is part 4 in our ongoing series on success. Today’s topic is :
Believe in yourself.
You are here for a purpose, and you have a purpose on this Earth. However, no one is going to believe in you if you don’t believe in you. If you went to buy a new car, and the salesperson was lacking confidence in the product, very distant, and didn’t really seem encouraging, would you want to buy it? Not very likely, is it? The same is true for everything else is life. If you don’t believe in your own abilities, no one else will. Sometimes, people will believe in you only as much as you do, so remember that moving forward.
