Top 10 Laws of Success: How to Win Big Without Losing Your Soul

I have recently listened to some training I have access to within Affiliate System with Dean Holland. It was a speech given by Louis Doughty. He shared some key principles for success that he has incorporated into his life to radically transform his situation from homeless, broke, schizophrenia, drug addict to becoming a massive success. The speech was incredible his 10 laws for success were real and motivating, which gave me some inspiration to create my own- just in case one day, I become super successful and need a speech too! 

1. The Law of Getting Out of Bed

First things first: success starts with getting out of bed (and making your bed) I know, I know, your bed is the comfiest place on earth, but trust me, no one ever conquered the world by hitting the snooze button. So, kick off those covers, put on your big-kid pants, and seize the day! Or at least a cup of coffee. This is one of the first changes I made to my routine. These 1% changes really do matter to shift your trajectory. I get out of bed at least 1 hour before the rest of the family. This gives me time to have a cup of coffee in peace, and work on my business in a quiet environment. Please try it, even if its just 30 minutes, you’ll notice a difference to your morning routine, it won’t be stressful and rushed. 

2. The Law of Setting Goals

Success without goals is like playing darts blindfolded. You might hit the target eventually, but we both know it would be better if you could see where you are throwing the dart. Set clear, achievable goals. Whether it’s mastering a new skill, saving up for that dream holiday, or simply trying not to burn your toast in the morning (easier said than done sometimes!), having goals gives you direction. 

Shout about your goals, tell as many people as you’d like. This hold you accountable- when you put it out there, you’re more likely to achieve it. 

 

3. The Law of Hard Work

Sorry to state the obvious, but there’s no shortcut to success. It requires hard work, perseverance, and maybe a few sleepless nights. Many creators on short-form platforms boast about making insane amounts of money overnight but approach their stories with caution. If it were that easy, we’d all be lounging on sunbeds in the Maldives. This is a classic example of the Iceberg Effect: people see your success but not the effort and dedication behind the scenes. However, when we finally make it, think of the satisfaction and the smiles we’ll share. It will be SO worth it.

4. The Law of Learning

Remember how your mum always said you should never stop learning? “Every day is a school day” I used to roll my eyes with a smirk when she said that. Turns out, she was right (as always!). Whether it’s picking up a new hobby, reading books, or taking online courses, learning keeps your brain sharp and ready for the next big thing. I was never academic in school. While my friends were getting prizes on speech day for their academic achievements, I was the proud winner of the sport prizes or famously “The kindliness and helpfulness” prize. Learning wasn’t for me…. It’s only as I’m getting older, I am now finding myself thirsty for knowledge and asking a lot more questions. You should try and ask at least 5 questions each day. Normally mine is “Why?” Always be curious and kind.

5. The Law of Networking

From being little my dad would always say “It’s not what you know, but who you know.” He was kind of right. Building a solid network of friends, colleagues, and mentors can open doors you never knew existed. So, put yourself out there! Attend that awkward networking event, join that online forum, and don’t be afraid to slide into someone’s LinkedIn DMs. You never know where it might lead, or what you might learn. 

 

6. The Law of Taking Risks

Let’s be real, success involves a fair amount of risk. Playing it safe is fine, but if you really want to hit it big, you’ve got to step out of your comfort zone. I have personally found this really tricky and I’ve definitely not mastered it yet BUT I am taking bigger risks as I get further into this journey.  My advice is to start that business, apply for that dream job, an move to that city you’ve always wanted to live in. Worst case, you fail and learn a valuable lesson. Best case, you succeed and have an epic story to tell. Fail Forward Fast.

 

7. The Law of Resilience

Life is going to throw curveballs at you. If it hasn’t, be prepared as it will. Nobody survives the curveballs, and the worst part is- you can’t see it coming.   But success is all about how you handle those setbacks.

“It ain’t about how hard you’re hit it’s about how you can get hit and keep moving forward.” Rocky Balboa

 

 

 Dust yourself off, get back up, and keep moving forward. Remember, every NO is one step closer to a YES!

8. The Law of Balance

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy—and probably really stressed out. Finding a balance between work and life is crucial for long-term success. Make time for hobbies, make time for friends, and most importantly, take care of your health. Eat well, exercise and remember to smile. After all, you can’t enjoy your success if you’re too burnt out to get out of bed.

 

9. The Law of Positivity

Negativity is a success killer. Negativity also breeds.  Keep a positive mindset, even when things get tough. Surround yourself with uplifting people, practice gratitude, and don’t let the little things get you down. Remember, a positive attitude attracts positive results—and makes you way more fun to be around. Find videos to comment on, search for blogs that inspire you and share positive energy. It will come back in bucketful’s.

 

10. The Law of Gratitude

Last but definitely not least, always be grateful. Appreciate the small wins, the big victories, and everything in between. Gratitude keeps you grounded and reminds you of how far you’ve come. Plus, it’s just a nice way to live. Who doesn’t like a person who’s genuinely thankful?

So there you have it—MY 10 laws of success. Follow these, and who knows? Maybe you’ll be the next big thing. Or at the very least, you’ll be happier, more fulfilled, and have a lot more fun along the way.
