Secrets Of Success

Well, these aren't really "secrets", but things you probably already know but maybe aren't implementing into your lives which can hinder your success. Found a great speech from the TED conference which is an invitation-only event where the world's leading thinkers and doers gather to find inspiration. Success analyst and author Richard St. John gives a short, but powerful speech about what he believes are the secrets of successful people. St. John spent years researching the subject and interviewing hundreds of successful people to come up with eight keys to success:

1. Passion - Do what you love and the $$ will follow.

2. Work Hard - This is self-explanatory

3. Get Good - Practice, practice, practice, which goes back to #2

4. Focus - It's better to be great at one thing than be a "jack of all trades, master of none".

5. Push Yourself - Go beyond what you think you can do, shoot for the stars!

6. Serve Others - Give others something of value. The more you give, the more you get in return.

7. Ideas - These fuel success.

8. Persist - Never give up.

You don't need any "God-given" ability or "genetics" to adopt or improve on any of these success factors, it all comes down to how badly do you want it?!?!?!
