Success breeds more success
It is very difficult to imagine what success will look like in your mind in any endeavor before you actually achieve it. I have written more than 50 books, I have sold a lot, but I still do not have a book sold for a million. I want one, to work on it every day, but I have not achieved this success yet. There are several reasons why people succeed and do not achieve success. Libraries are filled with hundreds of books on all aspects of success. So what do those of us who are trying to achieve some future success do when we cannot precisely verbalize what it will look, feel or be like when we get there?
What I have discovered is that a pattern of success in the past can lead to continued success in the future.
One of the most effective ways to ensure a successful future in any area of your life is to take advantage of small successes one at a time. Let me explain.
If you want to lose 25 pounds, focus on losing a pound a week instead of 25. If you can lose a pound a week or even just half a pond a week, you are moving in the right direction. Keep it up and before you know it you’ll have lost 25. Stay focused on losing one pound a week and don’t worry about how long it will take to lose 25.
Each week that you lose one pound, it will be easier to lose the second the second week and so on.
You want to be financially independent in ten years. Focus on saving a portion of your income each week or month. No matter how small the amount, what matters is the habit of doing it routinely every week or month. Stop worrying about how much you will need in ten or twenty years, just build on one success at a time and watch your net worth grow, gradually and slowly at first, but in the end it is the habits that matter and not the results.
For me, it’s writing every day and improving my writing every day. And sooner or later, I’m sure I’ll have a million-seller book.
