Is There Any Recipe For Success Other Than That?

I’ve been working in sales for 7 years and embraced the professional coaching industry for 2 years now. In those two fields just like in many other professional fields and in life in general, people try to be successful. I mean, who wouldn’t like to have a successful career, a successful marriage , in short… a successful living. So, I’ve asked myself three questions:

1- What does it mean to be successful? In other words, is there a standard definition of success or is success defined according to any one of us?

2- Is there a recipe for success? Is there any magic formula that if you apply you will automatically be successful?

3- What stops man from living successfully on his terms?

Let me get started here with my first question: what does it mean to be successful? Well, I think people wil have different thoughts on that one. I do believe that the conception of success definitely differs from one person to another. Some people will level their success based on their bank account, others will level it based on their job title, and some others will level their success based on their family and social life. Personally, I believe that being successful means waking up everyday, doing what we love to do professionally and socially speaking, and going to bed at night with the satisfaction that today we did our best at what we love to do.

We have so much to learn from kids. Think about it for a second. When a child wakes up in the morning, he runs to his parents room and give them big hugs that show how much he loves them. Then after shower he will go and enjoy the breakfast and after that wil start doing what he loves with or without his parents permission. If he love running around the house, he will. If he loves playing video games, he will go and play. If he loves exploring the nature and read books or watch TV, that’s what he’s going to do. At the end of the day when he goes to bed, he is tired and fulfilled and can’t wait to wake up the next morning for another amazing day. That’s what I call to be successful: to do what you love and to do it at your real best. Yet, hopefully, as an adult and educated person, what you love should be different from what a kid loves. So the tasks you do during the day should be ones that should serve others and hopefully generate money for all your financial needs. If you love enough what you do, there must be a way to make a living out of it MASSIVE ACTION is the recipe.

Let’s talk now about the magical secret recipe of success. As a relationship strategist, 80% of my time is used to search and implement methods and strategies that would help individuals and companies to benefit from their relationships and use them as facilitators to succeed at what they love to do. One thing I found is that what has worked for a person “A” didn’t necessarily work for a person “B”. In other words, you take two persons with similar interpersonal skills issues and you coach them together with exactly the same material, one will have the results expected, the other one no. Why? Because it doesn’t matter what tips, techniques, advices, coaching, seminars and other self-improvement tools you can give to someone, if the person doesn’t use it then the person will have no result. period! If there is one true recipe for success in life, that recipe is ACTION. You can know what you want, what you love, we can teach yo and coach you on how to get there, if you don’t take MASSIVE ACTIONS, well you won’t accomplish much. The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t is on the difference of their actions. You need to act to be. I love this quote from Og Mandino saying: “My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible, and all are of no values unless followed by actions. I will ACT NOW!”

So now let’s jump on the third question. I believe the number one reason that stops people from living a successfully life is not linked to their physical or intellectual potential but to their mindset. In fact, I believe that FEAR, LACK OF MOTIVATION,DEFEATIST MINDSET, and of course INACTION are the main reasons that block people from running the life they want. If that’s your case, coaching can be of a great help for you.

Let me conclude with this inspiring quote from a legend, Michael Jordan, who said: I can accept failure, but I cannot accept not trying.

Again, remember Og Mandino advice: your dreams are worthless, your plans are dust, your goals are impossible, and all are of no values unless followed you take massive actions.
