At Last! A Success Formula Which Works!

The view from the top of the mountain inspires the heart and fills the soul with gratitude. You have climbed over the boulders, stepped in and around the holes in the path, and pushed your way through the thickest brush. No obstacle stood in your way for long. You were on a mission.

You were assaulted by negative friends, family and co-workers; they told you to “get real,” “stop dreaming,” and “get a job and forget this nonsense of having your own business.” You endured the challenges of learning marketing. You experienced small successes, only to drop back into the learning curve again and again. You persisted through it all. Success is yours now.

What a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. Your baby, your new business, rests happily in your arms. Savor the sweet aroma of victory. Celebrate your success. Treat yourself; you deserve a reward for all of your consistent and persistent effort.

This tiny new enterprise is now yours to nurture and grow into everything you dream it can be and more. Expand your goals and vision to reach higher and higher.

Remember launching your first kite? You ran and ran while it dragged on the ground. You ran harder and it came up 5 feet then 10 feet and dropped back to the ground. You summoned all of your energy and ran even faster until the kite came up 10 feet, then 20 feet, then 50 feet and finally 100 feet. Your business kite encountered the same cycle.

Your business kite is now flying high; it is soaring above the treetops and reaching for the clouds. Keep feeding the kite string, just as you keep feeding your new business more marketing. Nurture your new business with the nutrition of marketing, innovative ideas, enthusiasm, and consistent goal oriented action.

Just as you were tempted to stop running when the kite bounced back on the ground, so you were tempted to stop when your new business hit a snag. Now you are so thrilled that you persisted. Your business kite is flying. You are now standing on the top of the mountain with your soul soaring above the clouds.

So many people are tempted to stop at the first difficulty, but not you. You have a passion for your new business. You are passionate about your goals. So what if you stubbed your toe when you were running. You stood up, dusted yourself off and started running again.

When asked the secret to your success, you reply, “Choose a goal you are passionate about achieving and then remain consistent and persistent.” Success really is that simple. Only by choosing a goal you are passionate about achieving will you be able to endure the negative talk from others and the negative self talk. Only with a passion for achievement will you persevere through the inevitable obstacles. Every business encounters obstacles. When your “why,” your passionate reason for reaching for the goal, is more compelling than any potential obstacle, you will persevere. When the “why” is limping along you will give up easily. Unless your “why” remains powerful, your “what” will not matter. You will very rarely ever achieve a goal unless you are absolutely passionate about your success.
