When it comes to achieving success, Mark Cuban spells it out very clearly with this quote…“It’s not about money or connections. It’s the willingness to outwork everyone.”
Over the years, I have heard many say that people are only successful because they were either born into it or they are naturally talented. The truth is, successful people make a commitment and they never give into excuses.
They grind and they make it happen on a daily basis. You control your own destiny when it comes to achieving success.
The only thing that can stop you is YOU.
When you make a commitment to grind and outwork everyone else, nothing can hold you back. If you want to be at the top of your game and be a high-level performer, you simply have to do what most are not willing to. In order to be in the 1% club, you have to do what the other 99% don’t want to do.
You have to outwork everyone else in order to be the best. I read an awesome quote recently that sums everything up. “ Success isn’t owned, It is leased and the rent is due every day.”
The bottom line is that there is no secret formula to success. It takes commitment and you have to work at it consistently. Talent alone is not enough. I have met many talented people who never reached their full potential. They were definitely gifted but, unfortunately, not willing to put forth the effort to achieve greatness. What distinguishes merely talented people from those who attain truly great success is their drive and their willingness to do whatever it takes.
A great example of this is Michael Jordan. There is no denying that Jordan had amazing physical talents. However, what made him a legend was his work ethic. He would spend his off-season practicing his jump shot hundreds of times daily, until he felt it was perfect. No matter what level he reached, he knew that he had to continue to work harder than everyone else to be the best.
You have been gifted with some amazing opportunities. Are you ready to become a top performer?
Write out your goals, and be specific about what you want to achieve. Once you define your goals, put together a plan of what it’s going to take to accomplish them. It’s time to get serious about this. This is going to require some life-changing behaviors.
I’m talking about waking up early and using every second of your time wisely. There will be days when you don’t feel like it. It’s important to remember that your feelings have nothing to do with it. Work at it and let your feelings catch up with you. In order to be the best, it’s going to require some incredible effort.
Please understand that I am speaking about every phase of your life. Do not work a burn out schedule and fail in maintaining your relationships and health. Proper balance is very important. Choose to be the best in ALL phases of your life. Balance your success with meaningful relationships and a healthier lifestyle.
This will make your career and financial success much more enjoyable. Enjoy this wonderful success journey. Make a 100% commitment to be the best at what you do. This is your time! It’s not going to be easy but, I guarantee you, it’s going to be worth it. You will fail, and you will have disappointments. Don’t ever let that stop you.
That is all part of the journey. In order to succeed, you must fail. Keep learning and keep growing! Outwork everyone else and join the winners.
Happy Selling,
