There are books, blogs, films, and flash-in-the-pan facebook gurus dedicated to giving you the coveted secret
to starting a business
to getting rich
to living life on your terms
to success.
And on the surface
maybe it looks easy
as if all you have to do
is apply the simple system
A B C
But what you don’t see
or what they don’t show you, rather
are the failures
the missed opportunities
the slow growth
the years of difficult, persistent
hard work
Because it’s not glamourous
hard work & failure don’t sell easily
if you want to sell something fast
make it sexy
because success sells.
But I have bad news for you
nobody succeeds overnight.
The glamourous success stories you read
are simply the “good part” of a longer tale
full of failure, persistence and hard work.
Here is the inconvenient truth about success:
understand you have value to offer
find something you enjoy doing
serve others & solve their problems
work hard
work hard
work hard
Acknowledge your hard work
serve others & solve their problems
and be grateful you’re alive
Oh, by the way…
you’ve been successful this whole time
even if it hasn’t been that pretty.
Rinse & repeat
Every day.
“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” — Winston Churchill
