” Adversity Causes Some People to Break, and Others to Break Records”
~ Harvey Mackay ~
Could it be possible for you to really succeed in your business? How would you personally answer to this question……?
- .…Yes ?
- …. No ?
- ….Maybe?
Maybe you’ve been struggling for years to get your business, project or career off the ground with very little or no results at all, and you’re considering throwing in the towel.
This is exactly what the majority of people choose to do! Did I said choose ..?
All of us had to overcome a little, or for some a lot, of Adversities or roadblocks in life, it’s true!
But consider this for a moment, according to one school of business that had conducted a study to 400 executives who obtained great success in their career vs another 400 who fell by the roadside, they wanted to know how those who became successful differ from those who didn’t.
It is interesting that the …..
- Education was not the key factor, because some high school drop-outs were running huge corporations: and Bill Gates is an example, while some MBAs were failing miserably and slamming into dead ends.
- Experience, you might think ?…not at all, because in that case, those at the top should have been older, but that has never been the case.
- Technical, Social skills and dozens of other career-related variable were also examined and none of those factors provided the explanation either.
What made the distinction between them was perseverance. So, if at any point you find yourself blaming one of the above mention factors, please don’t, and here is why … the mindset or mental habits is what will prepare you to face life’s toughest challenges and I recommend to develop these habits before you actually need them.
I personally dedicate 1hr every day to feed my mind with positive thoughts and ideas from our daily mastermind call at empower network. or read a good book from someone who already has achieved what I want.
Always think positive and believe that you can do this!
“When fate throws a dagger at you, there are only two ways to catch it: by the blade or by the handle “ ~ unknown!
Think about this for a moment…what this means is that there are events [ dagger figuratively speaking] that just show up and if we catch them by the blade, or uses it to tap into the victim-hood and feel depressed all day long complaining, then this won’t serve any good purpose.
But what if you decide to catch it by the handle? then you will use it as a tool to create or calve your dream so to speak. never underestimate the power of this, There is no education like Adversity !!
We must push through the adversity we face [ effort needed], not walk around it nor walk away from it. Should you do the contrary and I promise you that you will be poorly prepared for winning!
Surround yourself with like-minded people who share your same goals and dreams and remember that you will become the average of the 5 people you associate with. Meaning that you can be influenced for the better or worst depending of the kind of people you choose to hang around.
Human Nature…..?
You will say…But. it is easier to say than to do! It’s true!, that.. out of all the people who try to succeed in their business, career etc, 97% will Fail and only 3% will make it to the top. I don’t know how precise are these statistics , but you remember that I said at the beginning of this discussion, this is a matter of choice every-time, and rarely an impediment that causes an individual to fail, because not everyone has the same level of commitment, dedication, and perseverance, some will do nothing and the result will be “Zero”
” It takes an extraordinary person to achieve an extraordinary result” , Be one of them!
