The Greatest Success 101 In History!

By SaiF on Apr 10, 2008 in Success Stories

What you’re about to watch is probably the most concise video I’ve ever found on what it takes to be a real success. The man took 7 years to conduct 500 interviews and this was what he finally came up with. Very impressive, if you ask me!

Did you enjoy that? I certainly did!

Especially that part about mothers and persisting through CRAP! lol

I thought I’d give my take on the 8 success principles he touched on.

1) PASSION.

Recently, a friend of mine asked me if there’s money to be made in the Personal Development industry.

“Yes, of course!” I said.

“But you’re definitely not going to get any!” I told him.

He started saying that I was being ridiculous but both you and I know the truth.

Do it for love and the money will follow. =)

2) WORK

I just finished watching a 45 minute special on Tony Robbins’ biography and I’m just starting to realise that I AM on the right track.

The truth is that recently I’ve been asking myself, “Is success really supposed to be this hard?”

And after watching his biography, I want to share with you the one thing that many people overlook.

Like everything else, success comes with a price.

You might want to read that and really absorb it.

In Tony’s case, his professional life boomed but his personal life went down the drain at the start of his illustrious career.

People always ask the question, “How badly do you want it?”

My question is, “Are you willing to pay the price?”

3) GOOD

If you watch my introductory video to your right, it might look like some 5 minute job.

But the truth of the matter is that I took a week to make that!

Why? Because I wasn’t good at talking in front of a camera yet (I’m working on it!) and I would always stutter after every few words.

The key as they say is to practise, practise, practise! =)

It’s always back to the basics!

4) FOCUS

A scattered mind is a recipe for failure.

As James Ray says,“Energy goes where attention flows”

I sometimes have this problem as well, a huge tip: TURN OFF YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION!

5) PUSH YOURSELF

Nothing much to say here except, “You’re either growing or dying!”

6) SERVE

I think besides serving others something of value, this principle has much more to it.

My Law of Attraction Inner Circle Coaching Club clients should be familiar with this.

In day 3, I talked about how Jackie Robinson brought the race barrier to an end even though he was abused physically, emotionally and mentally by every White man during his time at the club.

He answered, “I was commiting to something BIGGER than myself.”
You might want to read that again and keep that in mind.

I’m releasing a report by the end of this week that will talk more about this in detail so don’t worry about the brevity of this post.

7) IDEAS

In this Information age, physical assets are no longer worth as much as they used to.

Of couse, today ideas are money.

Here’s the list that was put up just in case you didn’t catch it:

Listen

Observe

Be Curious

Ask Questions

Solve Problems

Make Connections

8 ) PERSISTENCE

And of course, nothing worthwhile was ever created without persistence through failures and CRAP.

CRAP is probably my top acronym now.
