The difference between success and failure is sometimes a wide gap and sometimes a matter of milliseconds. But there is a crucial point to be made for all successful achievers out there.

How do you measure success? Is it money in the bank? Trophies won for a special achievement? or maybe it is simply the recognition and gratitude of your peers or society as a whole that gives you the confirmation that you have accomplished something.

Whatever it may be, tracking your success along the way is the key to advancement.

An athlete has a coach that covers both the tasks of tracking success and motivating higher performance. You and I, although we may also have a coach to help us with staying on track, need to incorporate this simple step into our daily routine.

Let’s assume you wish to increase your income to a certain point but as life has it, that total income figure is made up of several sources which all vary from month to month.

You wouldn’t know if you are making progress or sliding backwards if you didn’t at least track those income streams on a regular basis and use them to adjust your strategy. Nothing seems more silly than having to bring in 5 million a year just to make sure you are left with 1 million in the end because your don’t track your cashflow.

The energy you expense to get the other 4 million can be used for other things and if you want a million, then simply put, get clear on how far you have yet to go and go do what you need to do.

See you at the top…
