Let’s talk about the Five Keys to Success.
If you know my story, then you may know that I practiced jiu-jitsu for a couple of years.
The core principles were about building people up, not beating people up, and this is channeled through a format that teaches a system for protecting yourself.
When I visited the gym the first time a large portion of the wall said:
Five Keys to Success
- Show up
- Positive Attitude
- Pay Attention
- Ask Questions
- Don’t Quit
As I started working out there, and attending on a regular basis, I began to understand that there is great value in personal development in all aspects of life: health, finances, relationships, business, education, and spirituality.
And, regardless of where you are now or what you want to accomplish, we all have the potential inside to get it done, no matter what you want.
I realized that when my mother told me that I could do anything I wanted, be anything I wanted to be, that she was right, but it doesn’t just happen, it takes action, time, a good attitude, knowledge and perseverance.
I decided at age 11 that I wanted to be an engineer, but it didn’t happen overnight.
There was a significant process in front of me that included more than 12 years of school, including college, before I was even eligible for an engineering position.
But how did I do it? I followed the five keys to success, without even realizing it and I never quit on the journey.
And then, when I started my first job after college I started a new learning process focused on the spray foam insulation industry.
We helped train and educate independent contractors on the products and business; and helped support and develop the companies that had ideas, took action and asked for help.
I have come to the conclusion that continuous learning and taking consistent action is the key to creating success at every level you desire.
Over the next few weeks, we will take a deeper look at the Five Keys to Success and how they might help you go to the next level and achieve your own astounding, audacious, ridiculous goal.
And I leave you with this thought:
I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed. And the number of times I succeed, is in direct proportion to the number of times I fail and keep trying.
