Ingredients for success

September 20, 2007

Why do some people succeed, while others fail? Why does one company make it big and another company in the same industry or space…fail? why does one sales person become a high achiever and another is less successful?

The answer is “drive”. The willingness to go the extra mile. Some may refer to it as “hunger” or “fire”. It is not that this quality is in some and not in others….it is in everyone. The difference between the successful people and the failures is that the failures…don’t fuel the fire. They don’t crave for the taste of success.

If you want to be successful you have to “REALLY” want it! Not just say it idly…yell it out! shout it out! Then see the difference!

Success Tip: Get out of your comfort zone!

August 6, 2007

Today I want to blog a little bit about the importance of getting out of your comfort zone!

Whether you are trying to lose weight, make a million dollars, or have a successful relationship; one of the keys to success is to GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE. This means that you need to move away from what makes you feel comfortable.

Feeling comfortable, as it relates to this topic, means that you are getting stuck in your habit. You are not progressing to the next level because you are not exerting extra force into your actions.

Let me give you a simple example. Look at boiling water. In order for water to reach its boiling state, the molecules need to raise their Kinetic Energy (some chemistry from high school!!!). Water will never reach a boiling point if the molecules do not move beyond their normal state.

Just like boiling water one needs to make that extra effort to get to the next level. If you are exercising 30 minutes and you are not seeing an improvement….exercise harder. Not getting that promotion….get noticed…do something that is not in your job description but helps the company without making your boss or co-worker look incompetent (VERY important).

Remember….it only take a little change to make a big difference. You do not need to go over board….just keep it simple, but do something out of your comfort zone!
