Success is a tricky thing and it is not for the weak at heart, it involves a life time of training. Fear is a constant battle. As you evolve there will be attacks that come to destroy you and all that you do. Therefore you must know the vices of the enemy, and there will be enemies. Where there is great success there is jealousy. Like it or not you will have to deal with it and all of its fiery darts. It is for this very reason that you must be able to identify it, because jealousy is the greatest weapon that the devil has to use against you. With it he can use anyone to destroy you, friend , family or foe, it doesn’t even have to be somebody you know. Therefore follow these instructions and the road to success will be much easier:

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A born again spirit
  • Determination to succeed
  • Good friends
  • More than one talent
  • Knowledge
  1. Step 1

    Avoid telling people what you are doing until it is done, preferably three months after it is done. Why, because the devil seeks to kill, steal and destroy your efforts.

  2. Step 2

    Only tell those that you know will support your cause and believe me there will not be many, not in the beginning. People tend to want to get on the boat after they see that the boat will float.

  3. Step 3

    Surround yourself with people that will teach you, because they know that in order to get ahead you have to help someone else.

  4. Step 4
    Do not hesitate to learn
    Do not hesitate to learn

    Continue your education, whenever it is possible, even if it means that you have to teach yourself. Some of the most successful people are self taught.

  5. Step 5

    Believe in yourself and your abilities. Advertise your skills; don’t be afraid to let people know what you are capable of doing for them.

  6. Step 6

    Learn or develop more than one talent, this leads to multiple streams of income. In this you will always have a skill to depend on.

    "A man that can fish for himself, is a free man indeed."

  7. Step 7
    A born again Spirit
    A born again Spirit

    Pray a lot… in all that you do, and no matter what you do, remember to include God. In this you can be sure that the most powerful being is on your side and the divine spirits will lead you in the way that you should go, which is the right way.

Tips & Warnings
  • Know who your friends are, this is very important because friends are interested in your success and not your downfall. They will be the very people to encourage you when the going gets rough. In the midst of a storm they will be there to help you maintain and stand against the devil.
  • Don’t let your fear of success get the best of you.
  • Jealousy is the first sign that you are successful… that does not include self imposed jealousy.
  • “Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring”
