Success does not happen by waiting for your superiors, media or the market to discover you. Your success will not take the form of eventual break and reward. Stop thinking about your life as if it was a lottery. Your problems have to be solved right now. Now is your time for success. You need to put your effort and energy into every little thing in your everyday job. Every little step is a brick from which the house of your success is built. That is a piece of advice which the author of a recent article on addictedtosuccess.com got from his consultant, for which he paid $1,000 an hour.
You have to risk something, and it’s OK to be afraid
When you are not afraid or at least a little bit uncomfortable, it is because you are playing it safe. Then you aren’t inspiring anyone, you are just like the rest of the world. When you are proposing something, when you are crafting a piece of work and you want to stand out, than a little fear is a good sign.
From time to time, sacrifice something
The author of the article on addictedtosuccess.com paid 1,000 dollars for an hour with Ryan Holiday, the young writer, who wrote and achieved astonishing success with his bestseller The Obstacle Is The Way. The author felt it was crazy when he was at the meeting, but this huge leap brought him many valuable insights and tips. Everyone wants freebies and cheap offers – but what you are looking for is something that is really worth your time and can help you. It can be a consultation, an interesting lesson, attending an eye-opening conference. If you feel that it really could benefit you, go for it.
Create your own path
Many of us are addicted to various rules of business and marketing, but paths to success are never the same. Learning from seemingly successful people is really helpful, but never forget that you have to find your own way. When the time has come, follow your instincts and dare to feel uncomfortable. Create your own experiences, learn from your mistakes – your own experience will never lie to you.
