What Is the Secret Ingredient to Success?
What Is the Secret Ingredient to Success?
Ok… you want to know how to do something because you believe it will bring you the desired result you’re looking for, right?
“Just tell me how to do it and I’ll get it done!”
I actually said that in the early 90’s when I was trying to build a nutritional business.
And then this audio was handed to me, called, “It’s not the HOW; it’s the WHY” … and that title actually got me a little angry!
“I know WHY I want to learn this stuff…. I just need to learn HOW to do it!!”
So what’s the SECRET to having success? . . .
to finally break through the barrier and get
to the other side, like the other TOP income
earners are playing?
This secret, once you know it,
will cause you to find the answers that you’re searching for, happily them, live them and achieve the results you want.
Just like me… asking HOW… you might not like the answer…
But I have found over time, that it really is the true answer and once you understand what I’m about to share with you..
When you actually “GET IT”…
and this information goes from your mind to your heart…
and you really understand what I’m saying…
You will be able to create any amount
of income you want.. and do anything
you want with your life.
It’s THAT powerful!
Are You Ready?
The secret ingredient to having success…
is You!
Now, hear me out. This will become much
clearer if you allow me to explain a little deeper. You might even pick up something new!
The secret lies deep within you. Your Personal Philosophy.
Your beliefs and core governing values, your understanding … what you absolutely KNOW to be true…
And if you haven’t gotten the results you want yet, and you aren’t living the life you want yet. . .
The secret is your Beliefs…
The secret is to Change the Way You Think.
Once you do, then you will take the steps you
need to take, to lead you to the how-to’s you need.
Listen Closely:
Focusing on the actions (the mechanics, the how to’s)
is not enough , because it’s the ATTITUDE behind
the actions that keeps those actions in place.
Aha! We need an Attitude adjustment!
No, not quite… because you EMOTIONS Change.
To find the path to success, you have to back up one more step.
It’s the understanding behind the attitudes that are behind the actions.
It’s the PHILOSOPHY.
That’s the secret ingredient!
Your philosophy is what you KNOW, what you BELIEVE,
and how it affects what you DO.
What keeps people struggling, spinning their wheels, and stuck, is the stuff between their ears… (Pointing to head… yes, that grey matter.)
Your Philosophy is your view of life.
It goes beyond feelings and attitudes.
Your THOUGHTS, your BELIEFS and your perspective,
what you are telling yourself every day…
impacts your decision-making.
Your philosophy DRIVES your attitudes and feelings
which drive your actions.
And your actions compound over time.. bringing you
the results, either good or bad!
Do you realize that it’s the little things you do every single
day – the things that don’t look dramatic, that don’t even look
like they matter – that really DO make all the difference?
The truth is:
What you do matters.
What you do today matters.
What you do every day matters.
The Slight Edge Principle is this:
(I suggest you write this down and post it where you can
see it every day. It’s that important!)
“Daily, consistent actions, compound over a period of time,
bringing the desired results.”
Here are some rather famous quotes that reflect that principle:
Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal.
Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do.
There is a natural progression to everything in life: plant, cultivate, harvest.
Do you want to Live ABOVE Circumstance?
Take control of your life?
Then it’s time to rip away the veil of circumstance
and look right into the heart of the matter…
Go behind the results and examine the actions…
and behind the actions to find the attitudes,
and behind the attitudes to discover the THINKING
that held them there.
Your Philosophy, Beliefs Thoughts > CREATE Your Attitudes, Feelings THAT CAUSE YOU TO Take Action THAT BRING YOU Results AND CREATES Your Life
Yes, it’s time to examine your philosophy.
It’s time to live in the moment, in the NOW.
What are you telling yourself?
If you KNEW you couldn’t fail, what would you do differently?
Your Belief can help you, or hold you back.
Change your mind; change your life!
You always have a CHOICE!
It’s important to start on the PATH
and to remember that no matter what has gone on before,
you can begin fresh and new and at ANY time,
you can CHOOSE to start with a clean slate.
If you KNOW that the actions you are taking will yield the
results you want based on the principle of
– Plant, Cultivate, Harvest –
then your success becomes INEVITABLE!
However, even people who are taking the RIGHT actions, fail..
Why? Because they didn’t stay the course. They gave up!
You just need to stay in the process long enough
to give it a chance to grow!
Remember? Plant, Cultivate and THEN Harvest!
Most people want to plant and jump right into harvesting!
Cultivating is important!
GIVE IT TIME TO GROW!
No breakthrough happens over night even though it might look like it does!
Breakthroughs are almost always the RESULT of a lengthy process of one step after another built upon another.
You can completely and absolutely trust in the truth that it is ALWAYS the little things, done consistently over time, that bring about the “breakthroughs” that you see.
You see, it silently grows, with such small, incremental changes, you don’t even notice… it’s almost imperceptible.
When enough steps are taken and build up,
BAM! A breakthrough happens! The results kick in!
The little sprout becomes a huge tree with fruit hanging on it!
It all starts with a DECISION, a Choice.
You can get what you want.
You can become successful.
It all starts with YOU
Your philosophy of life,
your beliefs,
your core values,
and knowing exactly what you want and why.
Then, it’s as easy as ABC and D:
Action taking DAILY
Be Consistent
Continue until you succeed!
Decide NOW!
YOU are the Secret Ingredient needed
to Change Your Life!
