If success has eluded you… if you can’t seem to break the code, figure out how “they” do it and make yourself into the success you know you can be, then what I want you to do is read this very carefully. You see, there really is no secret to success. There is no trick. Success is not an accident, nor is it a matter of luck. And if anyone tells you otherwise, I suggest you run the other way as fast as you can. There is a formula, however. There is a blueprint. There is a road map. There is a definite, proven, predictable systematic, repeatable method that will produce success every time… no exceptions. If there weren’t, very few people would achieve success as it would be quite random. The fact of the matter is that successful people do things in a certain way. They think a certain way. They believe in a certain way. They act in a certain way. They live a certain way. Unsuccessful people don’t (think, believe, act and live) the same way. It’s that simple. So what is it that makes people successful? I believe that all very successful people have certain things in common. Each issue I’ll write about one of them. For now, what I want to ask you (and leave you with) for this issue is for you to define what success means to you. In other words, how do you define it for yourself? Take some time and actually write down your answer. It will probably surprise you. Most people haven’t even thought about it. It’s just some nebulous concept. When you define it, it will give you a great starting point on which you can launch everything else from.
