Long-Term Success Is Yours For Life Part 3 of 4

By: Dave Clocker

So far in this four-part series, I’ve explained to you the one blog I came across that had such a profound impact on my life. The blog was very simple indeed, mainly black text on a white background. There was nothing present in it that distinguished it from the millions of blog entries out there. However, after reading the blog, it inspired me to change the way I approached what I did. In applying the lessons, I began to notice fascinating differences in how my life metamorphosed.
There is no doubt in mind my that the second aspect of achieving success is taking action and being a starter.. George stated that business is out in the field, not in the office. How true that is. Let me use a sports analogy to illustrate this. We’ll look at a Rookie who just joined the NBA. New members of the NBA tend to warm the benches more than they play in the game. The key to success, though, is to become a starter (this applies to our business as well...a starter). Only with that will we ever learn the ropes of the game and move up to the level of stardom. What’s important here is that you need to be proactive in getting where you want to go.
As a 1st year player for the Toronto Raptors, Jamario Moon is a prime archetype of a rookie. An old rookie, for that matter, as he is 27 years old, in a sport where players usually start out in their teens. He started out the season as a bench warmer...not doing much. He didn’t let his current status affect the vision he had for himself. He kept at it each day on the courts during practice and refined his skills, always believing that he will get his day in the sun.
It was just after a few games that he got called onto the courts during a game. And guess what? He performed. The next several games, he did the same thing. Pretty soon, he had secured for himself a starter position on the team. Yes, a STARTER. This is not an easy position to get since there are 12 players vying for one of these five spots. He MADE it. Failure was not an option for him and he wouldn't accept it. There were rookies 10 years younger than him. Because he kept at it every day in practice and he had the proper mindset and belief system, he didn’t have hesitation or doubt about his ability to perform. He practiced to reach a purpose and a goal.
You may be wondering how this Rookie story relates to the message from George’s blog. The moral of the Rookie story is that you should not sit and wait for things to happen. Hoping for business to come is not a sure way to achieve success. Some may have found success doing that, but it does not apply to the majority. You are accountable for your own life. If you aren't, then no one else will get you where you want to go. You must practice, practice, practice. You must practice to reach a purpose and goal.
Practice doing something daily and work on your business plan. You have to have that drive to achieve. Just make sure you dedicate a fair share of time daily to work on your business that will generate you money. It was concisely stated by George that you need to take the little actions each day that are focused on getting results from your business and avoid the activity that doesn’t get results. Let me reiterate that. If it ain't broken, don't fix it. If it is broken, go fix it.
The main idea to focus on is yourself and your ability to act on the knowledge you have. If you want something badly enough, you will change your actions and focus only on making steady progress each day that gets you closer to the destination. You’ve come a long way in this article series. In the last part, you will discover the factors that will help you to achieve the seemingly impossible in leaps and bounds over the long term.
