I know that sounds counterintuitive but it’s true and I can prove it to you. Do you remember learning proper manners from your parents, like saying please and thank you? Do you remember learning how to share with other children? Or how about brushing your teeth, and eating your vegetables and main course before eating dessert? Do you remember having to do a bunch of homework when you came home? I could go on and on but to break it down, the proper manners helped you to become pleasant and likable, which helps you with being a good networker. The sharing with other children helped you to become a better team player and you know as the saying goes, teamwork makes the dream work. When you ate your veggies, you were developing your self-discipline and delayed gratification muscles by doing the tasks that are hard before doing the tasks that are easy. The homework got you in the habit of doing hard work and learning how to practice and implement what you are taught. All these lessons are core components to succeeding and most of us learned these things by age 7. Some of us learned these things even earlier. As a child you learned how to imagine, dream and envision, you learned about character, love, patience, and more. Don’t believe the hype. You already know everything you need to do to succeed, it’s now time to apply it. Don’t get me wrong, you should continue hearing success principles to continue to settle the principles in your mind, but you need to realize that you are not lacking a special piece of information or some secret key to unlock the door. The key is inside you, you just need to use it and the door will open for you.
