W.I.N. Wednesday: Some thoughts on success.
Lets start with a question - How do you define success?
Is it based on how much money you make?
Is it based on the positive impact you make?
Is it based on the number of championships or titles you have won?
is it based on how you have been of service to others?
is it based on the quality of your relationships?
Is it based on the awards you have received?
Is it based on what you have helped others accomplish?
Regardless of how you define success it takes work. It takes hard work. And, it takes hard work over an extended period of time.
There is no such thing as an overnight success. In today's digital age you might go viral in a short period of time, you might become a YouTube sensation overnight, but success takes hard work, and is usually the result of a lot of falls and struggles along the way.
What's Important Now? - Reflect on how you measure success, then reflect on the following quotes. Once you are done reflecting, do the work.
"The toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You've got to keep on working that talent. Someday I'll reach for it and it won't be there."
Irving Berlin
"You cannot own success. You can only rent it and the rent is due every day."
Darren Hardy
Take care.
