Top 4 Tips to Arriving First In Life When You Aren’t the Fastest

There will always be someone faster than you in life. At least that’s what self-made millionaire Matthias Schmelz would say. Although it’s daunting to be last, Schmelz says there are ways to arrive first in life even when you aren’t the fastest.

Never stop moving.

When you have found something you enjoy doing, keep doing it. Once you have found a project that works, keep at it. Stopping one project only to take on another will hold you back. It takes patience and follow-through to reach end goals.

Although you may feel frustrated with your project, Schmelz argues we have to stay dedicated to what we are doing in order to find success. Much like the tortoise and the hare, the tortoise moved slower but never gave up. He never took breaks to do something else. He stayed with it. And he won.

Make use of free time.

Believe it or not, you can arrive first even using free time. In spite of the advice in #1, the key is to use your free time well. Define what you want free time to mean for you. Does it include recharging your batteries, spending time with family, or taking care of your health by going to the gym? It can also include reading up on industry research while waiting for your flight or plotting your next business move while you wait for your appointment.

Knowing how you want to use your free time strikes that balance between getting your to-do list done and having time to rejuvenate for your next big move. Using free time effectively makes that possible.

Have the end in mind before you start.

In order to be successful, you’ve got to have the end in mind before you even begin. Without it how will you know where you’re going? How will you know when you’ve arrived? Successful people start making plans even when they don’t have all the answers.

Develop strategies for what you want to achieve. And turn those ideas into reality. Practice setting goals at the start of each project. Determine what you expect to get from it and identify the steps you’ll need to take to make that happen.

Balance your 80/20.

It’s no secret that 80% of business comes from 20% of clients. The reverse is also true. Arriving first in life means we fall into the former category, not the latter.

Where do you fall in these scenarios? Find what makes you most of your business and keep doing it. This means you must evaluate your projects and objectively look at what is making you money and what isn’t. Change up your strategies to make them more efficient and effective. If they aren’t profitable, don’t waste your time with them!

Overcoming Obstacles: How to Deal with Tough Situations

If dealing with obstacles lets you know you’re alive, then there are likely times you feel more “alive” than others. Dealing with difficult situations never seems enjoyable. But responding to challenges helps us improve ourselves. And is something the successful do very well. Below are a few of the many tough situations you may face on the road to becoming successful and the solutions for moving forward.

Difficult customers. We all have them. Whether we are self-employed or work for someone else, we have encountered difficult people. Likely, we have been the difficult person before too! It’s tempting to disengage difficult people, but sometimes on the road to being successful, and then staying there, we have to embrace those who drive us crazy!

First, evaluate what they bring to the relationship. If they are high paying customers, it might be worth your time to get along with them. Do they have valuable connections? Again, it might be useful to maintain the relationship.

Second, be patient. Everyone has bad days. If they take it out on you, try to stay calm. If necessary, get to the root of what is frustrating them. If you can fix it, then do so. If you can’t, listen patiently but maintain control of the conversation.

Finally, remember difficult customers can be found everywhere. Although the grass may seem greener on the other side, it likely isn’t. Rude customers are a part of doing business no matter where you are in the chain. Accepting it as a reality can help you stay calm when it happens to you, and may serve as a reminder of how to behave the next time you are the frustrated customer.

Deciding between right and right. You may have numerous great ideas for making it big. Deciding between lots of possible ideas, or choosing between right and right, isn’t easy. Tempting though it may be to back track and start over, pick a project and see it through.

Successful people stick with their plans. They accept the project might fail. They also accept that it could turn out well. Your ideas will never come to fruition if you change your direction every few months. Success doesn’t have to happen over night to happen at all. Staying the course, even when you have to choose between many great ideas is necessary to achieve goals.

Asking for that promotion. If you want to get ahead while working for someone else, ask yourself first what you can do to make the organization more successful. Then, ask your boss. By putting yourself in her shoes, you are demonstrating your ability to lead within the organization. The boss’s role is to make more money for herself and her shareholders. If you demonstrate how you can contribute to that goal you are well on your way to professional growth.

Remember: by enriching others, you enrich yourself.

Obtaining start-up capital. So you want to own your own business but don’t know where or how to get the money? Matthias Schmelz says get it from your own pockets. Relying on other people’s money to make your own is risky. It can be tough to pay back loans. It’s okay to grow slowly. If growing slowly allows you to use your own capital, then do it.

You can also look for ways to reduce the amount of capital you need. As mentioned before, growing slowly is a great method. If you really don’t have the capital to do it on your own, look for a company willing to sell their goods and services on consignment. By selling on consignment, you get paid first and pay your expenses second. Taken from an interview between Lance Hood from SuccessInsiders.com and Matthias Schmelz.
