I went to dinner with a close friend last week and he asked me this question: Since you are one of those "personal development" guys, what are the top three things people should focus on to become successful? Well, I did not expect that question during our dinner but gave him the following response.
- "Own Your Sh*t" - It is highly important to take 100% accountability of your life. If things were bad in your life, you and only you are to blame. If you can't agree to that fact, that means you do not have control of changing the outcome of your future.
- "Everyday I am Hustling" - You have to be a go-getter and aggressively attack your goals and aspirations. The key is to be hard working and dedicated to the game. If you stick to moving forward in succeeding to accomplish your goals, you will!
- "It takes a village" - You can't do it by yourself. People have an arrogant attitude that they can figure things out by themselves. Everyone that I have studied in the past who became extremely successful had help or support. Bill Gates had a mentor. So did Warren Buffett just to name a couple.
So there you have it, 3 things to consider for 2017 if you are looking to become highly successful.
