I was happy to see you put willingness first. People must be willing to succeed/ fail in life, otherwise whats the point? We learn the most from our failures not the success stories, and we should always lend a helping hand to those behind.

Everything you do that results in giving away your power leaves you a victim.

Solid tips, it all comes down to mindset I think. Just go straight into the action and hustle !

@Skip C – That’s when working hard + smart comes in I guess

@Sherry – Great additions and thanks to Becky

@daffodil1209 – From what I understand the contestants get counselling both the coaches and behind the scenes. On the australian show a big deal is made out of the participants getting a mental breakthrough, which usually involves an emotional release and discovering the root cause of their problems. This is no different to many people in business and life who carry issues from earlier life around and it inhibits them, from fears to low self-esteem – 99% of success is mental.

As for if there is more – here are a few elements that immediately jump to mind.

1. Resilience…this is something we build over time – actually by acting consistently, constantly in trying again in areas where we yet have no evidence or proof – only your mention of “belief.”

2. Identifying and then building on our strengths – and leaving buffing up all those mediocre weaknesses to someone else. (this is truly amazing to me that whole industries are convinced to invest in something when I’ve literally NEVER had a talented client ever, ever need a stronger weakness.)

3. Risk — this connects directly to your “willingness” factor. That repeat trip into the unknown definitely correlates with your other factors – but to me, also deserves a place of its’ own, as well. There are those simply who should not “risk” in this same way – simply because it just unravels them too much. While anyone can learn to risk a bit more – and to get a bit more comfortable doing some, for others it really is simply too stress-inducing to encourage. It takes all kinds – but the successful also know when NOT to risk and WHAT not to risk, as well, in my view.

I’d love to follow your additional learnings and see what you end up offering your people. Sounds to me like a worthwhile undertaking you’re designing.

A Reader in Austin Texas USA – referred by a favorite in a teeny-tiny town of Alva, Oklahoma USA – @Becky McCray – whose tweet I just saw post a few moments back. That’s also a continuous learner, a winner in many ways, and a lady with plenty of good taste so it’s fun to follow her lead.

“Knowing is not enough, we must do. Willing is not enough, we must apply.” – Bruce Lee

Through experience and research these general rules have come become more functional in my mind, universally so. That’s one of the biggest points to me, actually trying things out to see if it works for you. In a way it’s another form of being closed minded, by saying we have to achieve through a particular method.

As others have said, great post, and for any interested, my project is at http:www.LegacyOfLore.com where I hope to be sharing the free ebook, well booklet, on this stuff soon. First I have to finish it … sounds like execution, again.

@Brandon – Thanks for the link, will check it out

@James – I really need to read the dip – got behind on the Godin stuff

@Mike – True, sticking to long term goals instead of instant gratification

@Melani – Thought you might like it

@Mike CJ – yeah people often get stuck in the familiar or can’t/won’t budge to the next step because of self-inflicted barriers

@David – Exactly, and just deciding that you are going to do something no matter what can be a huge difference

@Albert – Yes your success can only be defined by you. What I see though are people who SAY they want to achieve something, but do not do the stuff necessary to back up what they say with action?

@Jack – Indeed, I have experienced the same thing with guitar of all things

@Kaye – Being accountable and picking the right people to discuss your plans with are a huge part, yup

@George – Pride is a strange one, it is nice to be proud of your achievements but then it goes too far and we stop listening

@John – oh yeah, I really ought to look after myself more – it definitely has an impact

@Chris – I think I do have a copy around somewhere …

@Pattie – Will check the link out, thanks

@Keiran – Well, I guess depends on the reality show – apparently many reality shows are not real

@Kat – I see this too – It is possible I guess to be supported and get good feedback in an area that bolsters our self belief while the rest of our being lacks the support we need?

@Rob C – I’m not sure the get rich quick mentality will ever go away entirely, but hopefully more people will see what it really takes.

@Will – That’s often a good way to go, but I think “pleasing yourself” has to be balanced with having an actual market before you will make any money

@paul – Yes course correction is vital, otherwise there is no balance to the “just plow on” mentality that we also need

@Devin – 8 volumes? Does it give you much more information?

@Judy – Great book list, will check those out

@John – Belief can be important, but it is funny in my case I wanted to have a book in print but didn’t actually believe it was possible for me until I saw my first one in my hands … then I thought “couldn’t have been that difficult after all”

@Michael – Ah yeah, I do not have the face punch instinct quite as strong as you do but I hear ya

@Zoe – It’s also worth remembering that often that growth is painful and often pain is equated with failure because the average person avoids pain at all cost!

@Ben – Tracking results goes for everything not just advertising

@Nancie – A good fit as you say is important, you have to connect with a coach and it is not all about what they can do, but what you can do with their help

@Yusuf – Thanks

@Ben – Unfortunately (and I do say this too much, heh), common sense is seldom common practice

@Lana – Yup, we have to do each individual step, without being overwhelmed bu the whole

@Jens – I love My Name is Earl!

What you’re saying about being good is important. I have always thought about trying to be the best, but good is enough. You have to be better than most people, but you don’t have to be the best.
