The Key To Success
Tim on March 19th, 2007
I’ve discovered the true key to success, the way in which anyone can have anything they truly desire. However let me tell you, its not easy, nor quick, nor painless. In fact, true success in everything they would like, is a dream 99% of people will not accomplish.
We have been lied to all our lives, things are supposed to be quick and easy. Microwave food, instant communication, online purchases in the blink of an eye. Society has been getting faster and faster in the past decades and its really made life easier for the modern day marketer.
Seduce the women of your dreams by saying this one phrase to have her immediately fall in love and want to have rampant sex all day long. Earn Trillions of dollars online in the blink of an eye, I bought the internet and switzerland yesterday and SO CAN YOU! You’ve heard it all before, perhaps this is an exaggeration, but it may as well be what 99% of Internet marketers say.
I’m sorry to tell you this, but if you still believe worthwhile success can be had with a $19.95 info product, you’ve got whats known as Silver Bullet Syndrome (SBS). SBS is where you believe there is this one thing that you will make you smarter, richer, famous, energetic, fit, or seductive with no real effort on your part.
There have been many who have spent years (some even as much as 30 years) following these invisible silver bullets buying products to get rich and ending up with a huge line of worthless ebooks and nothing to show for it.
You don’t have to live your life like this, for there is a way to reach success, just 4 words that if anyone anywhere follows them, they will succeed. They are:
Effort-> DO SOMETHING! 95% of people read an interesting idea/piece of information/key to success and NEVER take action, don’t even worry about where you’re going and what you should do, as you get moving the path ahead to your goal will reveal itself all in good time. To wait until everything is fully mapped and planned out and at the perfect moment is like waiting for all the traffic lights to be green for 5 miles before setting off on a journey, its just plain stupid. Not to say you shouldn’t plan, just take action and plan at the same time, plan as you move towards your goal.
Failure -> “To succeed you must first fail” – Not a truer sentence has ever been spoken. There is not one single successful person at anything in the entire world who has not failed many many times. NOT ONE.
Learning -> The 2nd part of the process is learning from your mistakes, its the ready, fire, aim approach, where you try something, see what happens, and adapt to the outcome.
Perseverance -> If you don’t give up YOU CANNOT fail, it is impossible (aside from death) the only way anyone fails something is by giving up.
Take those 4 words on board, and I wish you all the success in your future endeavors.
Cheers, Tim

Very good advice – My motto is the surest way to fail is by never starting! I think you’ve definitely hit the nail on the head picking up on effort as the biggest element to succeeding in any new venture.
