Manifesto For Success
Sometimes, people perform better than you. Finish ahead of you. Make more money than you.
You are tired of that. That time has ended.Not because you’re looking to beat them, but because - You are focused on making you better.
Don’t think about the competition. It’s not something you can change. - Unknown
You wake up earlier, work longer, and study more to-
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected. - Steve Jobs
Today
People are scared. The economy is contracting, and things are hairy. Those are the reasons why you aren’t.
Now is the time to be investing in the future. Bettering yourself. Gaining the skills everyone else isn’t. While they are focused on today and tomorrow, you are focused on then next five years.
We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful. - Warren Buffett
Practice Your Best
You go all out and reach your threshold- to push through it. You are comfortable working harder than everyone else - over and over again. Repeatedly busting through your best to raise your game higher and higher.
Ready For The Opportunity
Because when that opportunity comes, you’ll be ready. When that idea hits you, you’ll be prepared to act. When that deal comes along, you’ll be able to close it. You work hard to be prepared for that big opportunity.
Get The Big Fish
You go after that big fish, because everyone else isn’t.
There is less competition at the top. - Seth Godin, Ramit Sethi, or Tim Ferriss (I forget which)
You shoot for the stars to Think Different.
People who think they are crazy enough to change the world, are the ones who actually do. - Jack Kerouac?
The Excuse
The excuse you hear is- “Well, some people are born that way.”
Yes some people are born to work hard, to focus, to limit distractions and go for the unattainable.
That is why you are different. That is why you’ll succeed.
I find the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have. - Thomas Jefferson
