I searched for the “secret” to success in life so you don’t have to.
Naona watu wengi wakisema life haina formula that ni luck and the people you know. There’s some truth to that but…
If you were to ask me that 3 years ago, I would believe that life haina formula but what if I told you there is a formula?
Learnt the following about success so you don’t have to ;
MENTALITY AND MINDSET. The no 1 thing that unaweza takeaway hapa would be that mindset and beliefs matter more than anything. Those who succeed and are at the top of their game don’t think like the average brain does. Even in business, I got to see that CEOs invested in coaches(high performance) and such individuals focused on long term success and not on short term gratification.
Can you rise up after failing 10,20 times? Mentality is everything. Even in courses I have invested my time in, mentality was a topic.
SKILLS. Invest in skills but not just any skill. Invest in high income skills. Those who succeed have a stack of skills that they have mastered over the years; sales marketing, negotiation, building relationships.
With such skills the only way you could be broke is you just being lazy. There’s knowing a skill and there’s mastering it. Anybody can watch some video and say they are great at a particular skill and there’s the cleaners who just stand in a league of their own. They know everything about that topic.
Information and knowledge. The successful individuals invest time in learning and staying upto date with relevant information. They never stop learning. They don’t just read up anything that seems of value.They curate their online feed and narrow down on specifics and aim to master it better than everyone else.
There’s a reason why in the medieval times peasants weren’t educated and the children of kings had the best teachers that money could afford.
Action. This is actually what sets most people apart in everything in life be it financial, fitness, lifestyle, getting women, spirituality whatever you can come up with. Most people spend time thinking and never doing.
How fast you can get from thinking to doing can set you apart from most people out there. Grind all you can. You throw everything you have for the life you want
Most people don’t like the doing part. They want it now and they want it easy.
Networking and building relationships. Those who succeed don’t just surround themselves with everybody. They spend time around people who know what they want. These individuals are ambitious and have drive and the discipline to stay at it unti they get shit done.
Ukijisurround na losers what do you think will happen? That’s for you to answer. There’s something called the herd mentality and thinking like sheep and it’s contagious.
Be around people of value and have things going on for them.
Environment, ability to recognize opportunities and luck can also play a role in getting where you want.
Having mentors and the belief in self are also additions to the above.
I believe life has a formula, it depends on who you are listening to and are you really willing to live that life you want?
There’s no skipping the work part and the secret is there’s no secret. Grinding and getting after it is the secret.
Does life really have a formula? Your thoughts if you may
