The Amazing 3-Step Formula To Success!

Believe it or not, there is a special 3-step formula that
makes people successful.

Unfortunately, you can't buy the formula. But if you could,
it would be hotter than reality television shows!

So, what is this amazing 3-step formula I'm talking about?

Okay. Here it is:

1. Have a goal.

2. Do what you love.

3. Have relentless desire and determination.

That's it. That's the formula.

Now don't be fooled by the simplicity of the formula. After
all, if it were easy, everyone would be successful and we
all know that's not the case.

However, the formula is definitely viable for anyone whom
religiously follows the steps.

Let's start with the first part of the formula:

(1.) Have a goal.

Every ounce of human progress--our inventions big and small,
our medical and scientific discoveries, our engineering
achievements, our business successes--were first visualized
before they became realities. High-tech satellites orbit the
earth because scientists made it their goal to conquer
space.

So, what is a goal?

A goal is an objective, a purpose. A goal is more than just
a dream, it's a dream acted upon. A goal is more than just
sitting back and "wishing you could." A goal is a clear-as-
glass, "This is what I'm working toward."

Nothing happens, no steps forward are taken, until a goal is
established. Without goals, individuals just wander
aimlessly through life under-achieving. They stumble and
bumble along, not having a clue where they're going. So, as
a result, they never get anywhere.

Goals are as essential to success as air is to life. No one
ever stumbles into success, without having a clear-cut goal.
(Winning the lottery doesn't count). Develop a clear picture
of where you want to go.

Write your goals down and review them every single day.
Formulate a game plan. Ask yourself where you want to be a
month from now--a year from now--3 years, 5 years, 10 years.

Tape a picture of your goal on your bathroom mirror and on
your refrigerator--whether it's a new house, a new car,
whatever.

Make visualizing and thinking about your goals a daily
exercise. Because it is only by constantly visualizing your
goals will they become a reality.

And don't worry about setbacks, detours or little bumps in
the road or big bumps either for that matter. Setbacks
happen to everyone. That's life. Forget about it. Make the
necessary adjustments and keep going.

Up next is the second part of the formula:

(2.) Do what you love.

There's an old saying, "Do what you love and you'll never
have to work a day in your life!"

Do you understand what that means? It means if you work at
doing something you truly love and enjoy, it won't really
seem like work at all.

Speaking from personal experience, I'm here to tell you that
is absolutely the truth. Let me give you an example of what
I'm talking about.

A few years ago, I made it my goal to have a successful
business on the Internet, even though I had no computer
experience and knew absolutely nothing about the Internet.

At that time, I didn't even own a computer. All I had was my
WebTV and a boatload of determination.

Well, my friends, to make a long story short, I'm happy to
say that I've achieved that goal. And now I get to stay home
all day, everyday and play on my computer, writing articles
like this one and publishing my "Let's Make Money
Newsletter."

So, how did I do it?

I went to the libray and taught myself how to use a
computer. I read book after book on how the Internet works
and I taught myself basic HTML (very basic).

Anyway, the bottom line is, I'm now doing what I love. Most
mornings I get up at six o'clock, because I can't wait to
get started. And most nights, I don't get offline until
about eight or nine o'clock.

Now by my calculations, those are 14 or 15 hour hour work
days. But it doesn't seem like work to me, because I'm doing
what I love. Those 14 or 15 hour days fly right by--and
that's the whole point!

"Do what you love and you'll never have to work a day in
your life!"

If you hate your job, find a way to do what you love so that
you can quit. You may even have to work another part-time
job or something to get to that point. But if you really and
truly want it badly enough, you'll do whatever it takes.

Finally, we come to the third and last part of the formula:

(3.) Relentless desire and determination.

It is also the main reason why most people don't succeeed.
They don't have relentless desire and determination. I want
you to commit the following words to memory:

"Any success you achieve will be in direct proportion to
your desire and determination. The more desire and
determination you have, the greater will be your success."

Here's another example to illustrate my point:

Most people think it's Kobe Bryant's amazing talent that
sets him apart from the other players in the NBA. And make
no mistake, his talent does play a significant role in his
success. But what really makes Kobe Bryant special is
his "relentless desire and determination." He just wants to
win more than everybody else.

It's no secret that Kobe practices longer and harder than
just about anyone else in the NBA, with the possible
exception of Karl Malone. He also works out like a demon.

But that's exactly what it takes. You have to be as maniacal
about success as Kobe Bryant is. I'll repeat something I
said earlier in this article:

"Any success you achieve will be in direct proportion to
your desire and determination. The more desire and
determination you have, the greater will be your success."

Now after reading this article, I'm sure many of you are
wondering where and how to get started.

The very first thing I recommend is a complete re-
programming of your mind. Because before you can start
walking down that road to success, you first have to get
your mind right.

In that regard, there are two books I consider absolute MUST
reads, if you are at all serious about being successful in
whatever it is you choose to do.

The books are, "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill
and "The Magic of Thinking Big" by Dr. David Schwartz.

Your local bookstore or library should have both books,
since they're all-time classics. If not, try Amazon.com. But
whatever you do, make the investment in yourself and get
those books!

Another thing, if you're married or living with someone and
you suddenly announce to your spouse or lover that you want
to eventually quit your job and "do what you love." Don't
expect a whole lot of support or kisses and hugs.

Unfortunately, most people are conditioned to the "9 to 5,
retire at 65," way of thinking.

So, if you expect support and encouragement from your family
and friends, you're probably going to be disappointed.
That's just the way it is. Most likely, you'll probably hear
a bunch of negativity.

That's the point when you have to stay strong and focused.
Because chances are, you're going to be in this alone.
That's why the mind re-programming is so important. It'll
help you stay focused and positive. And if by chance you do
happen to have family and friends who do support you, so
much the better!

Anyway, that's it. That's "The Amazing 3-Step Formula To
Success!" You'll notice not once in this entire article did
I mention anything about making more money. Why? Because "if
you do what you love, the money will follow!"

In closing, if you want to be successful, you must NEVER
give up. You must NEVER quit. NEVER! No matter what!
