Success Secrets - A Few Thoughts For Your Reading Pleasure
But before you think that success is an overnight
phenomenon, you need to go back and look at the definition of success very carefully. Notice that I used the word "getting". I could have said "having", "experiencing", or "enjoying", but I didn't. Instead, I used the word "getting" to make a very important point - that success actually lies in the journey, not the end result.Sure, it's going to feel great to know you have a profitable business. After all, now you don't have to worry about how you're going to pay the rent or buy groceries. But you'll actually feel better about the work you put into building the business than you will about spending the profits.
Don't believe me?I recently worked on a project that took months to finish. I spent day and night working out the tiniest of details. But when everything was finished, I felt a little sad. Don't get me wrong - I was happy the project was done. I was even happier because I knew it was going to have a positive impact on people's lives. However, I had put so much into this project and now that it was done, I felt like my best friend was gone.
If it sounds strange, it shouldn't. Remember, true success is measured in the "getting", not the "having"!Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald's, summed up this phenomenon perfectly during an interview a few decades ago. Kroc had already created the biggest fast food chain on the planet, yet he was constantly opening new locations. When asked why, he said, "When you're green, you're growing. When you ripen, you rot!"
So get out there! Start "doing", instead of "wishing". As long as you're moving towards something you really want, you're a success. You don't have to wait until you hit a certain mark. If you're growing and making progress, you're a success - right now!The Chan Do Internet Success System Review Module #3: Taking Orders And Making Sales Online Ben is a young entrepreneur who has several successful businesses under his belt, and enjoys sharing information on a wide range of business, financial, and entrepreneurial topics.
