Signs of success - how I knew I was doing good
In contrast to my last post, I would like to discuss a few signs of success which have helped me realize I was on the right path.
A few months ago I had a discussion with a close friend, she’s a successful entrepreneur and a huge risk-taker. On her most recent business venture, I asked her how she knew this project would work. I was curious to know what made her continue. It turns out her answers were the same as my answers in regards to jobs and every other area.
Here are the most common signs of success:
- I have a gut feeling that makes me feel good and secure.
- I’m happy and smiling every day, no matter what difficulties I encounter.
- I have positive support from my family and friends who encourage me to keep going.
- My work feels effortless while remaining challenging, interesting and fun.
- Things just seem to fall into place when I need it.
- Time goes by real quickly and I notice improvements along the way.
- My success in one area spills-over to other areas of my life.
I’m sure you’re familiar with the saying “When it rains, it pours”.
It’s important to make changes to your current situation, whether it relates to work or relationships in order to get on the path to success. Whatever it is, you have to notice the signs and do something about it.
So the question is, are you on the path to success? Have you noticed these signs recently? If not, what are you waiting for?

oh hell yeah those are good signs.
Do you find that you feel like that when you start a job, and then slowly as it’s less new and the shine fades off, you feel like in the previous blog entry?

Hahaha yes!
In reality though, I’ve been able to keep jobs for quite some time, as long as there is a continuous cycle of improvements, challenges and obstacles to overcome.
I think this can apply to work as well as relationships.
In my opinion, stability and satisfaction wouldn’t exist without change.
