In this blogpost you will get 5 strategies to be a successful person ( plus one bonus hack) supported by practical tips you can start applying today.
Why Do Most People Struggle to Find Success?
Before diving into the strategies, it’s important to understand why many people never reach their full potential. Some of the most common reasons include:
- Lack of clarity: Not knowing what “success” truly means to them.
- Poor habits: Everything is built on daily habits, but many get stuck in unproductive routines.
- Fear of failure: The comfort zone is tempting, but it kills growth.
- No consistency: Starting strong but quitting too soon.
The good news is—success can be achieved if you follow a structured path and remain disciplined.
Strategy 1: Define What Success Means to YOU
One of the biggest mistakes people make is chasing someone else’s definition of success. Society often tells us that success means a high-paying job, a luxury car, or social recognition. But in reality, success is personal.
You have to define what success actually means to you.
For some, success might mean financial independence. For others, it’s about traveling the world, having freedom of time, or making a positive impact on society.
How to Define Your Own Success
What you have to do right now is sit down with a pen and paper, ask yourself the right questions and write it down ( be honest). What do you want out of your life ? What makes you feel alive ? What’s the one thing or some things that if you don’t achieve them now, or in 5-10 years, you will regret it when you’ll be 60?
The next step is to be specific with your answers. If you want to be rich, how rich ? My friend said to me he wants to be filthy rich. I told him to break that down.
For eg: I want to earn $10,000/month through my business within 3 years. Then you break it down even more. What do you want in 1 year from now, 6 months , 3 months and then finally 1 month. Write down the exact steps you need to keep taking in a month to eventually get somewhere in 3 months.
Success is not a destination, it’s a journey. Define it clearly, and it will give your actions direction and meaning. The best goals are always Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
Strategy 2: Develop a Growth Mindset
According to psychologist Carol Dweck, there are two types of mindsets:
- Fixed Mindset: Believes abilities are innate, avoids challenges, and fears failure.
- Growth Mindset: Believes abilities can be developed through effort, learning, and persistence.
If you want to be successful in life, you must cultivate a growth mindset.
How to Build a Growth Mindset
Elon Musk failed more times than you can count. Some of those failures were even so public that it shattered him, but it was his growth mindset that helped him through it all.
- Embrace failure: Instead of seeing failure as the end, see it as feedback. Every successful person has failed multiple times.
- Focus on learning: Read books, take courses, and surround yourself with people who challenge you.
- Replace “I can’t” with “How can I?” This simple shift opens possibilities.
Strategy 3: Master Self-Discipline
Success in life demands self-discipline, the ability to control your actions, emotions, and habits even when it’s uncomfortable. No one embodies this better than Mike Tyson, who became the youngest heavyweight boxing champion through relentless training and strict discipline.
At his peak, Tyson would wake up at 4 AM to run miles before the world even opened its eyes, proving that consistency builds greatness. Self-discipline is what separates dreamers from achievers, it keeps you focused when motivation fades.
If you want lasting success, build routines, set non-negotiable standards, and commit like Tyson did. Mastering self-discipline will make you unstoppable in chasing your goals.
Strategy 4: Build Strong Relationships
Success isn’t just about talent or hard work, it’s also about the people you surround yourself with. In the TV series Suits, Harvey Specter shows the power of strong relationships by always leveraging trust, loyalty, and influence to win cases and dominate the corporate world.
He proves that networking isn’t about collecting contacts, but about building real alliances that push you forward. In real life, the same principle applies: surround yourself with winners, mentors, and people who challenge you to grow.
Your network can open doors that skills alone cannot. Like Harvey, invest in relationships that elevate your career, confidence, and success.
Strategy 5: Take Care of Your Health and Energy
Success isn’t just mental, it’s deeply physical. Without health, even the richest man is poor. If you concentrate and look closely, most of the self made successful people are into some sort of physical activities that keep them fit. That is not a coincidence.
Moreover, If you’re constantly tired, stressed, or unfit, you won’t have the energy to chase your dreams.
How to Stay Healthy While Pursuing Success
You need to choose a physical activity, any one and it doesn’t have to be the gym, but it can be and then stick to it. Eat clean, fix your sleep cycle and most of all, be consistent through it all.
Treat your body like a high-performance machine. The sharper it runs, the more productive and successful you’ll be.
Bonus Hack: Take Massive Action
Bear with me for a moment here. It literally does not matter how much you research, talk, think, dream, manifest, imagine about the goals that you want to achieve, the one biggest and baddest and quite frankly the only way to it is to start taking action.
Many people read books, watch motivational videos, and plan endlessly, but never act. Success doesn’t come from ideas alone, it comes from execution.
Execution is the word you’re looking for. It’s the word you need. So :
- Start before you feel ready.
- Take small steps daily toward your goal.
- Measure progress and adjust as you go.
Remember: Action will beat perfection every single time.

If you start applying these today, even in small steps, you’ll be far ahead of most people who only dream but never act.
Success is waiting for you. It’s time to go get it.
