Becoming successful isn’t random or luck. It’s a mindset. Your mind has the power to turn dreams into reality.
It’s OK to sit around and daydream about certain goals. But you can’t just dream about the outcome. You must put a plan in place to get there.
People aren’t successful by hanging out where money falls into their lap. Of course, some people are fortunate enough to be born into wealthy resources, but if you’re like me, you have to aggressively go after it.
Where’s your work ethic? How bad do you want to improve your life? Don’t accept a mediocre life by flying under the radar. Go full throttle after your passion because success and money will follow.
What’s your definition of success? It can be a variety of accomplishments. I feel successful as a parent because my children are good and kind to all people, plus they are hard workers. My adult children don’t ask for a handout because they put a hand in.
Are you in a successful relationship? Do you both respect and trust each other and treat each other as so? Be honest, can you leave your phone lying around or do you have to keep it in your pocket or purse? I’m not saying spouses should go through each other’s phone, but what are you hiding?
I hope you’re as lucky as I because Tina is my best friend and business partner. We are literally together all day almost seven days a week. We make a dynamic couple, and people tell us as well.
If money is your definition of success, what’s your business plan and model? You can’t look for the quick scheme because you’ll lose in the end. The goal should be to make money and keep the residuals coming. Don’t cut corners or step on people. Again, you’ll lose in the end.
Through 20 years in the medical corporate world, I witnessed a few people trying to make a quick buck. Yes, at first money came abundantly, but they not only lost it in the end, but they lost their reputation along the way. No doctors or hospitals could trust them.
Look, today it’s time to quit daydreaming and wishing. You’re going to write down your wanted successes and put a plan in place. Get off the couch, quit wasting time on social media and negative news outlets and take control of life. Because remember, success doesn’t come to you, you go get it.
