"Ingredients for Success"
What is the recipe for being successful?

The recipe for success has three ingredients: a positive mindset, a worthy goal, and inspired action. From my own experience, I understand that this order matters as well. Success starts with a positive mindset. Next, you mix in a worthy goal.

-I’ve included some of the ingredients for success: vision, ambition, action, being on time, work ethic, energy, effort, attitude, passion, body language, being coachable, doing extra, being flexible, focus, and integrity.

What do these ingredients have in common? They all require zero talent. Zero, zilch, zip, nada. That’s incredibly liberating and exciting to think about. Take a super talented entrepreneur who lacks these ingredients and stack him/her up against an entrepreneur who has mediocre talent but brings the ingredients above every day. If they were competitors in the same industry, who would win? Who would find the most success? Undoubtedly the second entrepreneur.

The really great news is, when we bring these ingredients to work with us every day, we can accelerate the development of industry skills and talents. Once we’ve obtained said talents, and we continue to couple them with the ingredients for success, we rapidly shorten our path to success.

"Success is the sum of small efforts - repeated day in and day out."
