The World’s Best Personal Advice – part 1

What is the best piece of advice you can give a person to become successful?

I was listening to a Brian Tracy presentation. He said that people know everything they need in order to be successful. During a training he once did, he asked everybody in the audience to write down their piece of advice so he could create a booklet for all attending.

His thought that we all know what we need to be successful is so true. I know so many things to be more successful than I am right now. I speak with many people who all know what they need to do to be more successful.

Do you know what the sad thing is?

These individuals who know it all don’t act upon what they know. I believe most people are like this. We all have the knowledge of being incredibly successful, yet only few are ‘chosen’ to be really successful in life.

You obviously saw that I quoted the word chosen. The fact that you become successful has little to do with luck, although it is really nice if life gives you a break once in a while .

Immediately after receiving the ‘what is your advice’ idea planted in my head, I stopped the tape and wrote down what to me are the keys in becoming and being successful.

The third success key for me is what I will share with you today. The other two are given later in this series.

Success key #3: TAKE ACTION!

I believe it was Napoleon Hill who said: DO IT NOW. This is so true! We should take action and do the things we should do (in stead of procrastinate).

 

Into our own visual mapping world

Let’s bring this into our world of visual thinking and visual mapping.

Taking action does not stop after you created your map. This is only half the steps you need to take. You should USE the map. That’s what I’ve been telling you all along since we met at MindmapsUnleashed.com.

I spend a lot of time with very bright people. People I truly respect and admire. They are masters in their fields of expertise. The only sad thing is this:

They didn’t create the lasting and powerful results they could have created. There is one, and only one reason for them being there and not yet being super successful in what they do:

They went only halfway.

They CREATE but they don’t USE.

Think about it.

• When you write a book but you don’t publish it, will it inspire many people?
• When you are the best in what you do, but you don’t share this, will many benefit from it?
• When you are very bright but you can’t focus on what you (should) do, will you make it?

Probably not.

I sometimes feel really sad for these people. You probably have these kinds of people around you as well. Before, I really thought: what if I had their skills/talents, where would they take me then?

Right now, I know that by knowing half of what they know and taking action like they don’t, I will be moving forward even faster.

Here’s my advice for you:

Write down what your advice to a person will be who wants to be successful?

Here is the thing which will change your life right now.

 

Start applying your own advice in your own life.

 

Don’t just KNOW. ACT! You owe it to yourself. Become more successful than you were yesterday or last week. APPLY WHAT YOU KNOW!
