Secrets to Success

Success always comes with a price
Someone sent me an e-mail recently that actually shocked me. Their message echoed what someone else had just mentioned to me: Both were not willing to put in a little bit of effort to achieve their goals and obtain success.
They both stated they simply didn't have the patience to go through a few hoops to access something extremely valuable that would aid in their success.
In both cases, I discovered that they were complaining about something they were being given for free -- a generous gift of knowledge, and yet they were whining about having to do something that would take both of them less than 60 seconds to do.
This led me to think: What kind of messages have the "success gurus" been sending the world?
Are they somehow misguided to think that:
» Success doesn't require any effort.
» Success comes in a bottle.
» And, success comes like an order of fast food --within minutes.
I'm thinking that people don't want to hear that success comes with a price.
They would rather be fed lies and hear success comes easily. Or, that you simply attract success just by thinking about it.
Of course, success begins by thinking successfully.
But successful thinking is not the same as get rich quick. That's how millions of people are duped and robbed of their life savings -- when success gurus sell them hope in a bottle.
People will pay any price for the promise of overnight success.
Yet, they are unwilling to do a few simple things differently than they have done before to obtain a true, long-lasting success that also comes with increased confidence and happiness -- all as a result of a job well done and well earned.
I trust that if you've stayed with me this far, then you are a person who is different from the rest.
You're the type of achiever who is willing to put a little bit of effort in for real success coaching and advice.
If you are committed to becoming successful and willing to do a few things differently than that other person sitting next to you, then you'll enjoy the following motivational quote by one of my favorite coaches, Vince Lombardi.
"To achieve success, whatever the job we have, we must pay a price for success. It's like anything worthwhile. It has a price. You have to pay the price to win and you have to pay the price to get to the point where success is possible. Most important, you must pay the price to stay there."
I do hope that you agree and are willing to pay the price for real success that will result in doubling and tripling your return with every day that goes by from this day forward.
