Here are 5 success tips that are not only powerful, but also easy to understand and simple to implement. You can use these ideas to accelerate success in your work, life and business.

1. Remove the clutter — We are a society of consumers. You can buy a product that promises to fix or enhance almost anything. There are products that will teach you how to get out of debt, make more money, or improve your tennis game. You can even buy tips for success.

A side effect of this consumer oriented society is that we end up with too much stuff. Most of this stuff we never use. Much of it doesn’t perform as we expected when we do use it.

We have cable TV channels and DVD movies that we never watch. We own bikes we never ride, and books we never read. We have sofas we never site on and exercise equipment we never use.

Too much junk clogs up our lives. We need to do a spring cleaning, both inside and out, and get rid of the clutter so we have room for new things.

Removing the clutter means having fewer, but more powerful and effective thoughts. It means being more focused and more effective. It also means taking fewer, but more powerful and efficient actions, and having fewer, but more meaningful relationships.

2. Let success come to you — Many of us have a grandiose notion of what success means to us. Numerous failures and the pressures of life often cause us to eventually abandon our dreams and settle for being less than all we can be. Stop chasing success and looking for the big score. In order to prevent overwhelm, envision in your mind what it is you want, and then break down the steps into tasks that are easy to do.

3. Perfect your daily habits — Create daily habits around things that inspire you. Choose 10 things that make sense to form daily habits around. Choose those things that juice you up and replace any old bad habits with these instead.

4. Get your work done in record time — Most of us have been there. You’ve had a month to complete a project, but you’ve hardly worked on it. It’s 3 days before the deadline, and you finish, just under the wire.

If you can finish a project in a day instead of a week, then start immediately and complete it on the first day, and not the last. You can use the remaining time to work on personal goals, your part-time business, or something else that inspires you.

5. Determine your outcome and know what you want — Decide. Decide on what you want. Decide to commit to your decisions, to take action, to follow through, and decide to accept the consequences of your actions.

Add each of these success tips to your life, one per month for the next 5 months. You’ll see an improvement in your productivity and your results in a short time.
