Success Tactic #1
My favorite behavior for unreasonably large return on investment is showing up prepared, early.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched something amazing happen in someone’s life simply because they made the dramatic effort … to arrive prepared, early.
Shoot! JUST SHOWING UP early is sometimes a deal maker!
These things are rarely permanent gold mines, but more often doors that open to a gold mine. You still have to do the hard work, but sometimes showing up prepared makes for a very cool open door.
After you’ve done your part, almost everything that revolves around your future success (or failure) is going to be determined by those people around you. The people around you will make or break you.
Legend Point: The more minutes you interact with someone, the more influence they have over who you are.
People that go to an event, for example, with the mindset of not just learning at an event but DOING SOMETHING with what they learn … they tend to succeed.
People who stay home when given the chance to be in a seriously successful environment … invariably fail.
The reason is simple.
You meet people when you go out. If you are meeting the RIGHT people, your probability of success exponentially increases.
But what about that “prepared” part of the equation?
It’s simple.
Are you hoping to meet someone that you can work on a project with?
If so, then you probably will do just that.
Are you hoping to meet someone that you can party with?
If so, then you will probably do just that.
It’s all pretty simple. Be ready to move in a direction.
Legend Success Secret
Every successful person will tell you one fact.
The best thing you can do, of course, is to capture an excellent coach & mentor who wants you to succeed. Give that person 2 – 10 or more years to help mold you, point you in sensible directions and you will shorten your learning and experience curve. The amount of work you will waste is dramatically reduced.
Having someone who sees you for who you are, someone who wants to be proud of you … that person just might be THE key resource in your life.
Most important, of course, is to be mentored by someone who understands what you want to do, who you want to be, what you want to have.
If you want to be a body builder and compete on the international stage, I’m going to direct you to someone else.
I’ve never done it. It’s not an area of interest. If you want a mentor to help you buy and resell antique cars, I’m going to direct you elsewhere. It’s not interesting to me. You need to work with someone who cares about YOU and GETS what you want and WHY you want it. And obviously, it is critical that they have done at least in concept what you want to do.
Mentors save you a lot of pain … mostly by making it hurt for a few years right now so it can be awesome in 2021 Gosh, 2021 seems a LONG way away … and thank god it is … but here’s the deal … you’re going to get to 2020 and either be a success OR a failure.
THAT is your choice you make today and every single day between now and 2027 … long past 2020.
Or you fail.
