Success is a trick part 2
You want to be successful?
Set a goal – Make a plan – Do it.
That’s it.
for details - here steps 1 thru 8
Done.
So what are all the hundred, thousands of books and blogs and seminars and videos all about (yes and this post)
well mostly they’re about the writer speaker making money -(sssh – dont tell anyone though – or I’ll get in trouble from the secret society of making money from teaching success unlimited).
The challenge most of us have – those who are not ‘naturally’ successful (and no-one is naturally successful) is we loose direction we loose steam. We loose our motivation.
Example
Tourist to Farmer
“why is your dog sitting on the porch howling”
Farmer : “he’s sitting on a nail”
Tourist : “So why doesn’t he move if it hurts him?”
Farmer: ” Doesn’t hurt enough”
That’s true for most of us – isn’t it? We want to, we would like to – but well…we’re busy, the kids are…my freind has…theres a barbecue…the softball game…my sisters wedding… the tv show… I’m tired – manyana…
The ‘success programs’ all work – if you stay in them and their whole purpose is to trick your brain to staying motivated.
This lesson or story doesnt motivate you? – try this one. This lesson doesnt do it ?- try this one.
Its a trick ( a valid trick – but a trick – to get us off that damn nail)
Case in point, I worked with a greta teacher and motivator for five or six years as a student . And I watched all these different prograns he kept coming up with, and everyone of them was great, and everyone of them was a winner and everyone of them motivated the heck out of us…for a while.
Then he had the next great idea, and it was better (of course) and made more sense, and was easier and quicker and…
Eventually we realized, actually he was saying the same thing, over and over and over again. Just different ways. To try and keep us going. To see it from a different angle. But it was always exactly the same activity, in the end
Its always the same.
Start from where you are – follow the plan -and dont stop. Thats it.
When’s the best time to quit? – never.
Whats the first step ?- well – its the first step.
Activity always produces results.
Who gets there first? – doesn’t count. This is not a race – its a solo journey. A solo adventure. Yours.
You didnt learn to walk by running. Or even by walking. You learned to walk by falling down.
Start from where you are – all activity produces results, follow the plan, associate with successful people and don’t stop.
There – every success book, seminar, whatever ever conceived – that’s all they say.
Sorry.
Its a trick.
But what an amazing trick, what a great result.
Seems we all need to hear things different ways and many times to get off that damn nail
