The Five Keys To Success
By Diana Hooker
There are five
keys to success
that can be used
in any area of life,
dreams and goals.
As you read about
these five keys,
think about what you would like to accomplish in your
career and business, personal growth, relationships,
spirituality, health, family, money, and fun.
The first key to success is Vision. You must know
exactly what you want and know exactly where you
are going. It’s important to think abundantly. Only you
define the boundaries of your dreams. Be specific and
commit to the vision. It’s the difference between I want
a lot of money and I earn one million dollars by May
1, 2021. Then write it down. It is the business plan for
your dreams. Without a vision of what you want, where
you are going and what steps to take you will have
confusion. Be clear in your vision to take the first step
toward your success.
The second key to success is Motivation. Why is
your dream or goal so important to you? It needs to
be powerful so when you get knocked down, your
purpose will make you get up, dust off and keep
moving forward. Without motivation you may succeed
eventually. Do you want it now or later? Put the power
in your why and you’ll have success now!
The third key to success is Skills. Skills include
knowledge about what it is that you want to do. With
knowledge you start building experience and credibility.
If you don’t have the knowledge you want, get it! With
the right attitude you can achieve the skills you need to
accomplish anything your heart desires. Without skills
you have anxiety. Honing your knowledge, experience
and credibility will alleviate your fear.
The fourth key to success is Resources. The
most common resources are finances, people,
communication and energy. With this key, it is
important to remember you do not need to be the
expert in all areas and to delegate to the people
who are. Share details even if you think it obvious
or you think others should know to prevent
miscommunications and frustrations. Recharge and
take deep cleansing breaths to keep your momentum

high. Without utilizing your resources, you will
have exasperation. Maximize your means to the full
potential.
The fifth key to success is a Consistent Work Plan.
You cannot control time but you can control what you
do with your time. When you have a consistent work
plan that includes a plan of action, organization and
standard operating procedures you can really map out
expectations. If you do not have a consistent work plan
you have a lot of false starts. Make a plan and work
your plan.
With these five keys to success of vision, motivation,
skills, resources and a consistent work plan you can
achieve your dreams and goals to live your abundant
life.
