These steps have helped me and made me achieve greatly in a very short period. If you also want to be successful in your personal and professional life you should start doing the following steps and you'll start to see the difference in your life within just a month.

1. Dream Big

The First and most important point is to always DREAM BIG. Whatever you are going through in your life; pain, sadness, hardship, disappointments, this shall pass, you should never stop yourself from dreaming big. Because when you allow yourself to dream big and want to achieve it, you push yourself to work harder and harder every day resulting in the utilization of time and reaching your potential.

2. Planning/Time Management (Put a Chart in your bedroom)

If you read the journey of any successful person the one thing, you'll find in common is their PLANNING and TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS. They never run towards their goals without having proper planning, 2 - 5 years ahead. Each hour of their entire day is well thought and planned prior. You should also plan out your day properly. Stick a chart on your bedroom wall so that you know where you have to be and what you have to do in that particular hour.

3. Reading (Leaders are those who spend time in reading)

Dedicate an hour every day to reading. Readers are proven to be good leaders and very successful in their life. The world is changing at a very high pace, if you need to be ahead of the curve you need to start reading and get to know the on-going trends and how you can benefit from them.

4. Take on your responsibilities

You are here to inspire, aspire and perspire. To do that you should take on your responsibilities. A good leader takes responsibilities for himself and his team. You should never run from your responsibilities and wholeheartedly accept them and fulfil them in the best way possible.

5. Learn from others (From every situation)

The world is evolving and there is a lot to learn know about learn about every day, never stop learning. Day to day you have a chance to learn from situations and people around you. Try to come up with the best alternative solution for a particular situation. Concentrate on what might be the cause for such a situation. Learn from people's life talk to them, know their experiences. Think about it, learn from it.

6. Do not be afraid of failure

As we all know failure is nothing but a footstep forward towards your success. Failure also defines your efforts it tells that you tried and you can do this (Know this; most people don't even try). If you don't get afraid of your failure and focus on the positive side then there's no better motivation for you than your failure.

7. Try to spend time with people who are optimistic and happy.

Try to surround yourself with people who are positive, empathetic and happy in their life. You can know their story and learn from them that how they manage their failures and still be so optimistic, know their perspective, their approach towards people and life. This will assist you to get your perspective clearer.

8. Get feedback from people who can help you. (SWOT Analysis)

Don't be afraid to ask for feedback from the people who can guide you and help you change for the better. Know your strength, weakness, opportunities and Threats. Introspect yourself and ask for opinions from others as sometimes we can't see what we are capable of, sometimes what we fail to see in ourselves.

9. Believe in yourself. (Don't think that you can't do anything)

No matter what you had gone through or going through, not for a moment stop believing in yourself. Don't give up on yourself, life is tough but you are stronger. So never lose hope in yourself and always believe in yourself.

10. Do Savings from your income

You should always save some amount from your income. Maybe not now but in the future, you might have plans to start a business or you need capital to invest, or in the time of emergency this savings will prove to be worth it and you don't have to lend money from friends and family or borrow loan from the bank and go into debts.

11. Life changes when you change your mindset.

The most significant course of action that you need to take right away is to change your mindset. Once you change your mindset and set yourself to see the brighter positive side you'll start to grow mentally. Even if something goes wrong and things don't seem to go as you plan you need to have patience and learn from it rather than cursing and crying about yourself and situations.

12. Spirituality

For an instance as electricity is the basic necessity for all your gadgets like Mobile Phones, Laptops, TV, microwave, etc to run. You also need to charge yourself by connecting and submitting yourself to the supreme being.
