Success: Simple, Not Easy

"Decide what you want. Decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work."~H.L. Hunt

Right there are the 4 steps to success.  It's really simple.  1) Decide what you want. 2) Decide what you are willing to exchange for it. 3) Establish your priorities and 4) Go to work.  SEE??  Real simple...however it isn't easy!

The first thing that makes it difficult is that most people don't know what they want.  Let me repeat that, MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT!  "I know what I want" you say, "I want to be rich, I want to have a cool car, I want to be skinnier."  What does rich mean?  What's a cool car?  Skinnier than what?  We think we know what we want however without specificity, it means nothing!  Be specific in what you want.  I want to have a million dollars in the bank in 3 years.  I want a BMW X5 by summer.  I want to lose 25 pounds by the end of the year.  Specificity!!!

The second reason that it's difficult is that we aren't willing to make the exchange for what we really want.  We settle for what we have now and will not let go even for something better! We know what we need to exchange to get what we want...we just won't make that exchange.

The third reason that it's difficult is that we never establish our priorities.  We say that we don't have enough time, well, time management is not about time management.  We all get the same amount of time.  It's more about priority management.  It's difficult to manage our priorities if we have never established them in the first place!

And the fourth reason that it's difficult is that YOU HAVE TO GO TO WORK!!  I hate to say it, most people only work at a 50% level, leaving 50% on the table and calling that the best they can do!  What would happen to your business or job if you were able to give 20% more, just up to 70%?

See, the 4 steps are really simple, they are just not easy!

Know.  Be Known.  Make A Difference!
