The Amazing 3-Step Formula To Success!
Believe it or not, there is a special 3-step formula that makes people successful.
Unfortunately, you canīt buy the formula. But if you could, it would be hotter than reality television shows!
So, what is this amazing 3-step formula Iīm talking about?
Okay. Here it is:
1. Have a goal.
2. Do what you love.
3. Have relentless desire and determination.
Thatīs it. Thatīs the formula.
Now donīt be fooled by the simplicity of the formula. After all, if it were easy, everyone would be successful and we all know thatīs not the case.
However, the formula is definitely viable for anyone whom religiously follows the steps.
Letīs start with the first part of the formula:
(1.) Have a goal.
Every ounce of human progress--our inventions big and small, our medical and scientific discoveries, our engineering achievements, our business successes--were first visualized before they became realities. High-tech satellites orbit the earth because scientists made it their goal to conquer space.
So, what is a goal?
A goal is an objective, a purpose. A goal is more than just a dream, itīs a dream acted upon. A goal is more than just sitting back and "wishing you could." A goal is a clear-as- glass, "This is what Iīm working toward."
Nothing happens, no steps forward are taken, until a goal is established. Without goals, individuals just wander aimlessly through life under-achieving. They stumble and bumble along, not having a clue where theyīre going. So, as a result, they never get anywhere.
Goals are as essential to success as air is to life. No one ever stumbles into success, without having a clear-cut goal. (Winning the lottery doesnīt count). Develop a clear picture of where you want to go.
Write your goals down and review them every single day. Formulate a game plan. Ask yourself where you want to be a month from now--a year from now--3 years, 5 years, 10 years.
Tape a picture of your goal on your bathroom mirror and on your refrigerator--whether itīs a new house, a new car, whatever.
Make visualizing and thinking about your goals a daily exercise. Because it is only by constantly visualizing your goals will they become a reality.
And donīt worry about setbacks, detours or little bumps in the road or big bumps either for that matter. Setbacks happen to everyone. Thatīs life. Forget about it. Make the necessary adjustments and keep going.
Up next is the second part of the formula:
(2.) Do what you love.
Thereīs an old saying, "Do what you love and youīll never have to work a day in your life!"
Do you understand what that means? It means if you work at doing something you truly love and enjoy, it wonīt really seem like work at all.
Speaking from personal experience, Iīm here to tell you that is absolutely the truth. Let me give you an example of what Iīm talking about.
A few years ago, I made it my goal to have a successful business on the Internet, even though I had no computer experience and knew absolutely nothing about the Internet.
At that time, I didnīt even own a computer. All I had was my WebTV and a boatload of determination.
Well, my friends, to make a long story short, Iīm happy to say that Iīve achieved that goal. And now I get to stay home all day, everyday and play on my computer, writing articles like this one and publishing my "Letīs Make Money Newsletter."
So, how did I do it?
I went to the libray and taught myself how to use a computer. I read book after book on how the Internet works and I taught myself basic HTML (very basic).
Anyway, the bottom line is, Iīm now doing what I love. Most mornings I get up at six oīclock, because I canīt wait to get started. And most nights, I donīt get offline until about eight or nine oīclock.
Now by my calculations, those are 14 or 15 hour hour work days. But it doesnīt seem like work to me, because Iīm doing what I love. Those 14 or 15 hour days fly right by--and thatīs the whole point!
"Do what you love and youīll never have to work a day in your life!"
If you hate your job, find a way to do what you love so that you can quit. You may even have to work another part-time job or something to get to that point. But if you really and truly want it badly enough, youīll do whatever it takes.
Finally, we come to the third and last part of the formula:
(3.) Relentless desire and determination.
It is also the main reason why most people donīt succeeed. They donīt have relentless desire and determination. I want you to commit the following words to memory:
"Any success you achieve will be in direct proportion to your desire and determination. The more desire and determination you have, the greater will be your success."
Hereīs another example to illustrate my point:
Most people think itīs Kobe Bryantīs amazing talent that sets him apart from the other players in the NBA. And make no mistake, his talent does play a significant role in his success. But what really makes Kobe Bryant special is his "relentless desire and determination." He just wants to win more than everybody else.
Itīs no secret that Kobe practices longer and harder than just about anyone else in the NBA, with the possible exception of Karl Malone. He also works out like a demon.
But thatīs exactly what it takes. You have to be as maniacal about success as Kobe Bryant is. Iīll repeat something I said earlier in this article:
"Any success you achieve will be in direct proportion to your desire and determination. The more desire and determination you have, the greater will be your success."
Now after reading this article, Iīm sure many of you are wondering where and how to get started.
The very first thing I recommend is a complete re- programming of your mind. Because before you can start walking down that road to success, you first have to get your mind right.
In that regard, there are two books I consider absolute MUST reads, if you are at all serious about being successful in whatever it is you choose to do.
The books are, "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill and "The Magic of Thinking Big" by Dr. David Schwartz.
Your local bookstore or library should have both books, since theyīre all-time classics. If not, try Amazon.com. But whatever you do, make the investment in yourself and get those books!
Another thing, if youīre married or living with someone and you suddenly announce to your spouse or lover that you want to eventually quit your job and "do what you love." Donīt expect a whole lot of support or kisses and hugs.
Unfortunately, most people are conditioned to the "9 to 5, retire at 65," way of thinking.
So, if you expect support and encouragement from your family and friends, youīre probably going to be disappointed. Thatīs just the way it is. Most likely, youīll probably hear a bunch of negativity.
Thatīs the point when you have to stay strong and focused. Because chances are, youīre going to be in this alone. Thatīs why the mind re-programming is so important. Itīll help you stay focused and positive. And if by chance you do happen to have family and friends who do support you, so much the better!
Anyway, thatīs it. Thatīs "The Amazing 3-Step Formula To Success!" Youīll notice not once in this entire article did I mention anything about making more money. Why? Because "if you do what you love, the money will follow!"
In closing, if you want to be successful, you must NEVER give up. You must NEVER quit. NEVER! No matter what!
