You can WANT to have a McDonalds franchise and the probability of success for those owners that actually work their stores every day is quite HIGH. Most people simply don’t qualify. And it IS that simple.
Recent data from McDonalds revealed their franchisee incomes range from $50,000 per year all the way up to a million dollars per year.
That’s a BIG RANGE of possible numbers for an investment that is in the mid six digits!
Keep thinking about modeling successful people or businesses but let’s switch the context.
If you look at the world’s #1 track star, Usain Bolt, and you model everything he does day and night, I can promise you THOUSANDS of other people are doing the exact same thing you are. They are reading the books he reads, practicing like he does, doing everything he does, but here’s the TRUTH:
The fact is that genetic make up, different competition, different environments, different personal drive levels, different family influences all take modeling and turn it upside down.
Sure, if you do what great people do you have a chance to turn out great as well. But it’s not even close to what matters in success. Thousands will model Usain Bolt. None will beat him this year. None. In a few years, probably. And remember each of those 5000 runners will compete against each other and they will rank from 2 -5000. The guy who ends up at 4,994 is going to do virtually the same behaviors as the guy who ends up #2.
There ARE a FEW modeling principles that are predictably helpful in life.
Later, I’ll explain HOW to model SPECIFIC PRINCIPLES and ACTIONS to INCREASE YOUR LIKELIHOOD of success in wealth, relationships, health, parenting. BUT don’t for a second think that if you do what Kevin Hogan does, that you’ll be as influential as Kevin Hogan. To beat me, you have to do some of the same things, do some things that are different and do a few things that are significantly more effective. And that is the case with all successful “modeling.”
Want to know what the core genesis of success is?
It’s the ability to influence others.
And as I mentioned at the beginning of this short article, I’ve put together the penultimate course for success. Read on…
