8 Keys to Success

What It Takes To Reach Your Potential
by Lee Johnson

#1 is PASSION
#2 is THE ABILITY TO TAKE A RISK

#3 is HIGH SELF-ESTEEM

When I first started my business I had a very LOW self-esteem but through personal development and time I now have a very HIGH self-esteem. This is an inside job and if you are like I was there is definitely hope. If I can do it and succeed so can you.

So the key is to believe in yourself. Think well of yourself. You are not boastful or egotistical, but do have an honest understanding of your talents, handicaps and are working toward getting better. Jim Rohn really helped and there is a link at the bottom of the blog to his free newsletter.

#4 is PERSISTENCE

Persistence is definitely one of the 8 keys to success. I am shocked at how many people throw in the towel after a few months or better yet never even start. All I can say about this one is that quitters quit. It's what they do.

If you are serious about being your own boss and succeeding in business. Get rid of the words try and focus on the words just do it! The key to success is in the daily disciplines. Try is the battle cry of failure. No doubt about it.

What a major difference there is in the words I'll Try and the words I'll Do.

When your building your financial future how long is long enough? Well, it will take 10 years. I have asked hundreds of accomplished entrepreneurs and distributors how long it took before they felt they had mastered the skills and craft to succeed.

Ten years has been their unanimous answer.

If it takes 10 years, then how do you spend the time wisely? It will take at least two years to acquire 70 percent of the craft you will need to work in your opportunity. It will take another eight years to acquire the next 20 percent of your craft. At 90 percent, you will have mastered your craft, but there is that 10 percent that will take a lifetime to acquire. In the meantime, while working to master your craft you will also be learning and acquiring a personal vision, your ability to see, to observe, to create and discover things. This is difficult at first, but the older you get the wiser and more aware you become. Craft and vision are your tools for success beyond your wildest dreams.

Persistence takes discipline. Discipline is simply doing what you know you need to do, even though you don't feel like doing it. The first thing is knowing what to do. Most people do not know.

You are reading this, so you are interested in finding out what to do. Make a list. Next, find the willpower to do what's on the list. This is the most difficult part of all the keys - finding the positive willpower to do what you know you need to do. We all wrestle with discipline for it does not come easily, not even for the most successful. Just Do it!!!
