The majority of people in this world are in constant search for success.

Everyone wants to be successful and reach the apex of life someday. However, for most of us, it is also manifested that the concept of success is somewhat elusive. So along the journey, many have failed, or at least consider themselves as a failure.

But have you ever wondered what exactly is the formula or secret to achieve success?

Below is a list of the 7 Secrets to success:

Enthusiasm

The most enthusiastic individuals tend to think big.

But not all become successful just by having enthusiasm.

But success requires a deeper level of enthusiasm that goes into the innermost part of the human brain that triggers actionable thoughts.

Consistency

People think that with greatness comes success.

That might be true to a certain degree, but little did they know that great individuals become great because of consistency.

They always do the same thing over and over again, over a long period of time.

Taking Risks

Embarking on a journey to success doesn’t guarantee a total straight line.

There will be a lot of rejections and failures.

And if you are afraid to take the risks, you will never turn dreams into reality.

Failure

This may seem illogical; however, the reality is in order to experience success, you have to first fail.

If you are going to look at most of the successful people, they all failed a lot of times before they got into where they are right now.

Authenticity

In the world full of untrueness, successful people have emerged for being genuine and being true to themselves and to others.

Giving More Value

In the book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, Dr. Cialdini states that everyone should give a little something to get a little something in return.

One of the best secrets in being successful that is proven to work is to always give more value, then success will follow. 

Optimism

Above all else, what successful people do night in and night out, is to hope for the best that every effort and willpower they exerted will soon bear success.
