Is there a secret to success? Yes, but it’s so obvious it shouldn’t be secret
Is there a secret to success? This is unquestionably the most common question people have when they are struggling with pursuing a goal.
My answer is simple. Of course there is a secret to success! If it wasn’t secret then more people would be successful right? Not so much…
The truth is that the secret to success is so obvious it really shouldn’t be a secret. So let me give it to you straight with no chaser.
The secret to success is that successful people are willing to do the things that unsuccessful people aren’t willing to do. For example, successful people:
- Keep the promises they make to themselves
- Make tough decisions with researched facts and analysis
- Systematically plan each day, week, month, and year and then execute that plan consistently
- Stop working each day only after their work is done
- Aligning goals with a big picture vision and purpose
- Avoid negative thoughts and negative people
- Seek the help of a coach to help them with all of the above
To summarize, if you are struggling with pursuing a goal and wonder if there is a secret to success then the first thing you should do is look within. Think about all the things you know you could be doing but don’t because you either don’t make time, don’t feel like it, or because you’re scared. Those things are the secret to success for you.
