Becoming successful is a complex and often individualised journey; there is no one-size-fits-all formula for achieving it.

You will need people, you will need well-developed skills, an opportunity, you will have to make some bold decisions, you will have to consider taking some risks, good timing, and being in the right place at the right time, and you will need favour with people. Some successful people waited and trained for years before a breakthrough.

Be patient. Work hard, and have faith. Frame your future with your words. A strong spiritual approach will make all the difference. Meditate and pray! Pray more. Read the WORD – find promises – make it your own. Write down your goals. Believe! Confess your success. God is for you.

‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’

Continue to work hard, and then wait patiently:

‘When preparation meets opportunity.’

In some instances you will have to make a bold move. Do your homework, consult friends and experts. Their is safety in counselling. Have a back up plan. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Be very careful – wait. Then, at the opportune moment act. Take that calculated risk.

However, here are some common stages and phases that people may go through on their path to success:
