Fundamental of Success

So here I am – thinking how to get started on the ‘right’ track for the other half of the year.

With so many things going on, well, the least I would say is IT’S EXCITING. The first thing I learn about success is to go back to the ‘fundamental’ – no matter what‘s the latest thing that’s happening right now.

Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich

So I picked up the infamous classic book, “Think And Grow Rich” and read it again.

It’s not that I haven’t read it before, but you see, at the right time, the knowledge you’ve gained will be more clearer to you – and if you’re at the right time and right place, you might SEE why it’s FOR YOU.

Now, just in case if this book is a new title to you, grab a copy from www.amazon.com or in your local bookstore. If not, I’ll give you a free digital copy but you got to read it. My priceless gift to you.

Here are the principles of success written in Think And Grow Rich:

Desire (The First Step toward Riches)
Faith (The Second Step toward Riches)
Auto-Suggestion (The Third Step toward Riches)
Specialized Knowledge (The Fourth Step toward Riches)
Imagination (The Fifth Step toward Riches)
Organized Planning (The Sixth Step toward Riches)
Decision (The Seventh Step toward Riches)
Persistence (The Eighth Step toward Riches)
Power of the Master Mind (The Ninth Step toward Riches)
The Mystery of Sex Transmutation (The Tenth Step toward Riches)
The Subconscious Mind (The Eleventh Step toward Riches)
The Brain (The Twelfth Step toward Riches)
The Sixth Sense (The Thirteenth Step toward Riches)
How to Outwit the Six Ghosts of Fear

It’s a book with hundreds of pages so I won’t try to explain all of them here. But I want to point out one of the many things I’ve discovered again… that will ensure your success this year:

Join a Mastermind Group. If you can’t find one to join, CREATE YOUR OWN (Always think of other solutions than being a linear thinker).

I am IMPRESSED how wealthy people at that time (those mentioned in the book) make money simply by using their ‘connections’ and network.

Think of it this way  if you’re trying to get a bank loan for a business venture, would it be easier to walk-in to a bank as a ‘stranger’ and speak with the loan officer OR ask your friends if they happen to know anyone (in their network) who are loan officers? If they do have, I believe, getting them to recommend you to the loan officer will give you better leverage.

Now – I’m just using an everyday-life simple example above. But the point is, if you’re belonging to a sort of Mastermind Group, you’ll automatically have an available network of contact.

This is YOUR ASSET.

I know of people who pay $25,000 just to be part of a Mastermind Group – I’m not saying you should be paying that amount or anywhere close. But I believe, these people, know that they’ll make more than $25,000 from there.

Like I said earlier, if you can’t join any or couldn’t find a suitable one, what’s stopping you to create your own? It could even be a free one but they must have a level of qualification to be part of your mastermind group – this way, you’ll attract those ‘qualified’ members to assist you in achieving your higher goal. Besides, ironically, THAT IS your ultimate goal – to have others helping you to become financially wealthier.

When You Can Achieve Success? When?

You know, the word “Success” is very broad and everyone would have their own definition of it. And of course - there are many components of success, ranging from health to wealth.

But let’s take wealth as part of success for an example (since wealth is rather easy to quantify) - someone making $10,000 a month could be a success but that some amount of money, could be a big failure for other people. Weird right?

So I guess it’s fair for me to say that the ‘numbers’ is not an ultimate benchmark because each person’s goal and expectation are different.

I can tell you one thing for sure — achieving success is a very interesting ‘quest’ or journey. Seems like the longer you wait, the least possibility that you’ll achieve it.

My piece of advice? If you want to achieve success, be it a $10,000 or a million dollar goal, better do it now.

But I know, a lot of people can’t do it now because they’re waiting for the right time or they think that something else is still missing before they can ‘go all out’ to make their dreams come true for themselves.

There are plenty of reasons why. As a matter of fact, lack of confidence will also influence this decision, although most people will never admit that they don’t have confidence. Come on, who will admit that they’re weak or inferior?

Then there’s the reason of being fearful. As we know of, there are many types of fear and I guess the most dreadful one would probably be the fear of failure. Funny thing is, I’ve never seen a successful man or woman who never fails before and yet, people who never achieve success are worried about failures when failures is actually what ‘help’ them to achieve success.

The strategy to get started on your goal and achieve success is to take impactful “baby” steps. Many are dreamers who will ALWAYS be dreamers because they don’t see the ‘small’ things.

Put it this way, Rome wasn’t build in a day.

I mean, I have so many conversations with people who told me about their great million-dollar ideas but when I ask them who’s going to do it, to make the idea a reality, they either shy away or give me an impractical answer like, “Oh, I’ll partner with someone to do all of the business building part.” O-M-G. Unless you happened to be Sir Richard Branson or Steve Jobs, I don’t think anyone wants to work on your idea and slave their time to build your dream. Wake up.

This is why, I’m so passionate with the success formulas that I share with my Private Members - they’re quick and precise. You don’t need to apply all of them and here’s the cool thing; even if you can just apply one success formula a week, you’ll start to create small impact in your life that will snowball into huge success.

 When You Can Achieve Success? When?

I want you to start seeing the way to success in a different way (that is, if you like to follow my formula).

1. First, success happens when you start with ‘something’. Like, if you want to drive a Porsche but can’t afford it yet right now, get another brand’s car that you can afford. Then as long as Porsche is still in your intention, I believe you’ll find a way to get it. But if you don’t start with another car first and just want to have THAT Porsche, I think it’s going to be a tougher goal.

2. There’s no one formula to success, bucko. STOP TORTURING YOUR MIND TO LOOK FOR IT. Even Law Of Attraction has so many methods to go about it. The trick is to keep on ‘pilling’ more success formulas into your life and “snowball” it.

3. The more you delay, the less likely you’re going to get it. I know it sounds cruel but hey, like it or not, that’s the fact. You better start achieving your success now or else it might never happens at all because there are going to be so many events and circumstances in your life.

4. It’s very important that you can ‘taste’ success now, regardless of how small it is. That itself will propel you to continue your journey and ignite your flame of passion to keep you excited.
 
5. Finally, ask yourself, WHEN? When you’re going to experience success? Of course, success could be define as anything but in this context, we’ll stick to financial wealth to make it easy to visualize. So can you see yourself driving the BMW or Porsche that you want or living in your ideal house? Just imagine that you don’t have a timeline but you just say to yourself that you want to own your dream car or house on one fine day. Now, that sounds like a loser’s wishful thinking. If anyone’s reading this is offended by what I’ve said, I’m sorry but unfortunately, I’m in the business of helping people to achieve success in life, not a consoling doctor.
