You want to know how to be a successful person? Often read a book or words of motivation but still not work? Want practical tips that you can actually apply for success?
If your answer is yes to one or more questions above, you come to the right place.
In this post I will describe 7 simple steps that can lead you to success in your life and career.
I'm not lying to you. The seven steps are simple, but not easy.
Do not worry or pessimistic first. As long as you actually do it, you will be a successful person at a young age or the opposite age.
Let's start with some aspects related to success that you should know.
What is Success?
I believe you want to be a successful person. With that success, you can be happy for yourself, your family, your parents, your spouse, or your friends.
However, what is success?
Honestly, many people who call successful people are people who have a lot of wealth. Many people also say that successful people are officials or famous people.
They are not wrong. Why? Because they define success based on the indicator.
In my view, the precise definition of success is to achieve what is desired. This wish can be an aspiration, a goal, or a target.
For example, if you aspire to become a doctor, then you go to medical school and graduate to become a doctor, you have become a successful person.
Another example, if you have a goal out of a job now and then materialize, then you can be called a successful person.
Of course, success is not the end. However, it could also be the beginning to achieve another success.
The Basic Capital of Success
Believe it or not, the basic capital for success there are two hard skills and soft skills (attitude).

Hard skills are technical skills that can be obtained by self-study or through education / training. Meanwhile, soft skill is the ability to manage yourself and others.
Want a second example of this capital? OK…
Consider the following example. Driving a car is hard skill, while the way you react when someone crossing in front of your car or stuck in traffic is soft skill.
Another example, if you want to be a successful blogger, the hard-skills you have to master include writing, email list building, search engine optimization (SEO), product creation, and marketing.
In the meantime, the soft-skill you must have, among other things, is confident, not afraid to compete, not afraid of failure, optimism, adaptation, integrity, cooperation, and your response to criticism.
Of these two capital, which one plays a major role in one's success? According to Harvard University research, soft skills determine 80% of one's success.
