Top 5 Success Principles (TRUE STORIES)

In 2015, one of the first books I read was “The Success Principles” by Jack Canfield. I printed the first 5 principles and stuck them to my wall at home so I would see them everyday. This was one of the many beginnings of what’s now called “Massive Action EcoSystem”. See photo below.

Here’s the 5 top success principles below 👇🏽

1️⃣ Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life.

This is the foundational principle of the book. Canfield stresses that in order to achieve success, you must take complete responsibility for your life—your circumstances, your behaviour, and the outcomes you experience. He encourages the reader to stop blaming external factors and focus on what they can control.

My story 💭 - I was absolutely blaming the government and the steelworks back in 2013-2015. We were just being told everyday that nothing we were doing is good enough. The only solution was government making policy changes that help the industry. This was wrong. Once I took responsibility of my life. Everything changed.

2️⃣ Be Clear Why You’re Here

Canfield talks about discovering your life purpose. He argues that to truly succeed, you must first identify your purpose or calling. When you align your goals and actions with your purpose, you are more likely to stay motivated and achieve lasting success.

My story 💭 - by 2014 I had lost my clear vision. After 8 years, my goal becoming an electrical engineer was completed. Trouble is, I didn’t like what that meant for everyday life. Too much time away from family. No freedom. New clarity was needed.

3️⃣ Decide What You Want

Canfield emphasises that knowing what you truly want in life is a critical part of success. Vague desires lead to vague outcomes. By clearly defining what you want in every aspect of your life—career, health, relationships—you create a roadmap to success.

My story 💭 - As soon I completed the goal setting workshop/life planning workshop, I had all the goals and visions I needed. It really open my eyes to what we actually want in life and the most important starting point is deciding your personal vision first. Allow that to guide your professional vision.

4️⃣ Believe It’s Possible

This principle focuses on the power of belief. Canfield encourages readers to cultivate a strong belief that their goals are achievable, no matter how big or challenging they seem. This positive belief system fosters perseverance and determination.

My story 💭 - no further evidence needed. Everything I have loved to share and documented since 2015 has come from the belief that it’s possible. See photo. Hearing the story from John (Kylies & Gareth’s uncle) how they started with nothing, were a real life model for what has been achieved, made everything click into place. Never stop believing since and will never.

5️⃣ Believe in Yourself

Self-confidence is key. Canfield emphasises the importance of having faith in your own abilities and strengths. He discusses how self-doubt can sabotage your success, and offers strategies for overcoming it, such as positive affirmations and surrounding yourself with supportive people.

My thoughts 💭 we have a great community here. We all believe in each other. We are fortunate. Many people are less fortunate, surrounded by a world that doesn’t believe in them so they start to believe it themselves. We must always try to get the world out. Share our group here on your Facebook profiles, your stories. People sometimes need others to believe in them before they can believe in themselves.

These five principles are foundational to the rest of the book and are essential to creating the mindset and behaviours that lead to success.
