It\u2019s because you\u2019re so good at so many things. This is a beautiful blessing, and it\u2019s wonderful to help people \u2014 until you overcommit yourself. It\u2019s time to define the few critical people in your personal life that you truly want to help and focus on them. View all outside request from others\u00a0as obligations that can tear you away from what and who you should be focused on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lost focus.<\/strong> After attaining success, it\u2019s easy to be tempted by the abundance of new projects available to you. Achievers love to build, and once they build they love to move on, forgetting that mastery and scale only come if they stay focused. If taking on new projects, proceed slowly, one at a time, dedicating enough time to each project so\u00a0that you can serve with real focus and excellence. You don\u2019t want to be a mediocre do-er of everything; you want to be a master of realms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No Skill Acquisition.<\/strong> After gaining a skill and reaching success, many achievers stop growing. When they were climbing, they were ferocious in their learning \u2013 reading books, trying new things, interviewing experts, asking tons of questions, measuring progress and testing outcomes.\u00a0Don\u2019t stop that just because you\u2019ve \u201cmade it,\u201d or else you\u2019ll soon lose your edge and passion. If growth leaves the scene, you get bored and sabotage what you once loved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No Celebration of Success.<\/strong>\u00a0Many people knock off\u00a0goals and achieve big things without taking time to reflect and enjoy their successes. Don\u2019t forget the challenges you\u2019ve overcome and the small successes you have\u00a0each week.\u00a0Give yourself the credit you deserve for having come this far. Integrate success by journaling about it, telling your friends and family about your wins, throwing some parties. Allow yourself the emotional satisfaction of growth so that\u00a0your journey feels worthwhile. If it feels worthwhile, you will keep doing it, you will keep climbing, you will keep innovating, you will keep contributing, you will keep feeling what we call #<strong>TheChargedLife<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0http:\/\/brendon.com\/blog\/achievers-crash-burn\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nice post from Brendon Burchard The Need to Help Everyone.\u00a0The more you succeed, the more everyone wants your help.
