You have got to believe in yourself before others start believing in you. Whatever is that you would like to achieve, make sure that you believe in it and trust your abilities to accomplish it. The problem is that people tend to underestimate their capabilities that stops them to reach their true potential. Take a notebook and write your strengths, uniqueness’s, greatest achievements and accomplishments in it and read them aloud every morning. This little technique can do wonders to strengthen your belief in yourself.
Believing in yourself
Now that you know what you want to pursue in life, it’s time to make an action plan for it. Whether your goals are small or big, you need to be commit yourself to take massive action every single day without any excuses. It starts with preparing your brain to passionately chase your dreams or whatever you are passionate about in life. You can begin by making a plan.
Taking massive action everyday
- Learn as much as you can from whosoever you want as it would be something no one can take away from you. Never stop learning as most times there are more than one way to do a same thing. The moment you shed your preconceived notions and embrace adaptability, opportunities will automatically present themself in the most unexpected ways.
Being adaptable and learning continually
Success often comes to those who are willing to do whatever it takes to be successful. You would not only have to work your butt off but might have to say no to several things that don’t align with your goals.
It might be tempting to go shopping or party with friends on weekends but working on your startup or writing your next blog is what is going to make to make an actual difference. If you are working on your job during day then the only way to work on your dream is by losing some sleep.
One more thing, start saying NO more often. It might take a lot of courage to say no to friends but doing it will make your life more successful and happier than theirs.
Willingness to lose some sleep and saying NO -
There are two ways to succeed: the easy way and difficult one. Going for an easy way means doing ‘whatever’ it takes to reach there — by hook or by crook. It means taking shortcuts, favors, doing unethical things that go against the moral compass. Now, the commitment is not to do any of the things mentioned above.
You might get seduced with the idea of doing something unethical and get quick results. However, such things always come with a price — that can easily ruin everything within a snap of a finger. Remember that the journey to success is going to test your character along with dedication.
Not doing unethical or immoral stuff
Do you know what is the single most important thing in your life? It’s nothing else but your health. Your physical and mental health plays an important part in your life as everything directly or indirectly depends on it.
Don’t get too consumed in working hard that you start ignoring your health. If you’ve worked tirelessly for straight 40 hours, it makes sense to give your body the rest it deserves. If you’re working on weekends, try spending at least a few hours with your near and dear ones and recharge your batteries.
Maintaining proper work-life balance
As cliche` as it may sound but never giving up on yourself is the ultimate mantra to success. As you walk through life, you will fall down many times. You might also make mistakes and fail, and it’s absolutely okay. That’s life and things will happen but never let this hamper your spirits in any way.
Keep in mind that in order to succeed and become your best version, you have to have a lot of faith in yourself. This will help you get through these tough times a bit easily. Don’t give up ever – come what may.

Attracts strong candidates and increases retention
investors generally believe that a commitment to social change is a great way to position a company for long-term success. While there must be a balancing act between focusing on the profitability of an organization and social initiatives, doing so successful can create endless opportunities for companies.
Makes your business attractive to investors
Your employees are likely to be more motivated and have a greater commitment to the organization if they see the social initiatives are in place. Providing time for employees to support their social initiatives can also build pride, loyalty and motivation among team members. This, in turn, makes everyone more engaged and productive

3 Disadvantages of Social responsibility
- Impacts profitability
- Greenwashing
- Costs money to implement
A company has a fiduciary duty to its shareholders and costly social responsibility initiatives can impact this directly. This conflict can be challenging for managers, who may feel compelled to choose between socially responsible decisions or initiatives and focusing on the company’s profitability
Impacts profitability
In some cases, social responsibility initiatives have been used to improve a company’s image even though no real change has been made. For this reason, it’s important to consider what social responsibility initiatives you will take and evaluate the impact they will have on the organization.
Greenwashing
While large organizations can afford to allocate a budget to corporate social responsibility reporting, this can be financially taxing on smaller organizations. While smaller companies can use social media to share any social responsibility policies or initiatives with customers and community members, monitoring these channels takes time and resources. It may require the company to hire extra employees to manage the process effectively, which can be challenging for small businesses.
