I don’t think there is anyone in this world who does not want to be successful… at least in one aspect of their life. Right?
Imagine a room with 10 individuals. Every single one of those people wants to be successful. Question is it possible that all of them will make it?
YES and NO.
Yes, because there is no limit in this world that dictates that only a certain number of people will reach their goals and fulfill their dreams! So there is a very real possibility that 100% of them will make it. But also no, because while it is true that everyone has a shot at reaching for the stars, not everyone takes it or even knows how to take it.
Picture the room again but this time let’s add character to these 10 individuals. All 10 of them have specific dreams in mind that to them when they reach, would define their success. Ok. Great. 6 have an idea of how to reach their goals. The remaining 4 don’t have a clue. Now of this 6 who somehow sort of know how to get there, 4 have the means to go after their dreams. The remaining 2 are plagued by circumstances for now so they would need a bit more time to hustle through their current limitations. Of the 4, only 2 have the drive to actually labor through the process. The 2 are somehow motivated but excuses often get the best of them.
The remaining 2 who know what their dream is, possess an idea on how to get there, have the means to achieve their goals, and actually have the drive to make it a reality. Unfortunately, only 1 is taking an active stance in getting himself from point A to point Dream. The other is motivated yet easily tempted to let fate hand him good fortune.
You see the difference? We all have equal opportunities to reach our dreams and be successful but life gets in the way. So the key here is that if you dream of success, you have to really want it, and you have to do things on purpose.
Doing things on purpose means doing things intentionally.
Your dream is to expand your startup into a multinational? Drive growth intentionally doesn’t wait for team wins to slowly get you there. Dreaming of retiring at 30? Make it happen by intentionally investing in lucrative businesses as early as now!
In branding, if the goal is to be top of mind in your industry, increase awareness and up your marketing efforts on purpose! Don’t wait for the market to “eventually see your efforts” because you are setting yourself up for disappointment. It’s not other people’s, least of all your market’s, role to serve success to you on a silver platter. This is business so be in the business of intentionally coming up with strategies that will attract your goals and dreams.
Success comes to those who are hungry for it so the question is: how hungry are you for success?
You attract what you are ready for so be ready to give all of you. This calls for your 100% commitment in everything you do. And why shouldn’t it?? I mean this is your dream we’re talking about. Would you expect any less?
