How to become successful?

35 replies
Have anything seen the youtube video ted talk by Carol Dwecker?

She talks about the main key indicator of success - The growth mindset.

Based on her research, people with the growth mindset are more likely to find successful because of the fact that their belief is that the human brain is malleable.

Do you guys agree?

      i read about this 10 years ago or more .. there is another element .. that is new because it the alternate of the internet .. meme .. it is both having the growth mindset .. and a realistic expectation of growth and the work involved ..

      the internet is knee deep in bull crap ..for the average millionaire it took them a decade at least and lots of hard work to get that first million ..to many people think they can start out with no experience and be rich in a few years .. so when they hit that wall of work .. they just buy the next info product that claims to have the secret to easy money ..

      you brain need a lot of rewiring going from wage slave to profit based earning ..it does not happen quickly .

    Cosmic Master empowerment does the trick for me. I watch and imbibe everything. My uncle used to take me to the movies, that's where the whole enchilada happened. Movies and programming.

      I listen four times per week and the results have been phenomenal.

      Formed new habits that will serve me for life.

      In essence, life will cause you to expand, and as you expand you cannot ever regress to less than you have become and feel happy.
      in old age, it is common for people to get a thrill from downsizing and giving up possessions. they feel lighter. they feel more focused. some people even do this periodically throughout life. it can be more like phases of growth/ accumulation then phases of retraction/ reflection.

      as far as "law of attraction"...... I believe in positive thinking because it can improve actions. "law of attraction" is about coincidences or synchronicities? if you want to promote that..... it would be helpful to have stories as examples.

          I meant a voluntary retraction from previous interests and possessions. if you are familiar with wayne dyer (self-help advice) he was positively giddy with happiness when he downsized his possessions. getting rid of his hundreds of books made him feel light again. but then.... he was in old age, so that was a different time in his life than when he was younger.

            personal and spiritual expansion are far different from material accumulation .. sometimes the loss of material possessions weather by choice or by seeming negative events is what is needed to realize the expansion of self ..

            why wait until old age ..

            money or cash is currency the people who print it want you to spend it as soon as possible to keep cash flowing through the system ..spend or invest

            you breath in you breath out .. you drink water you eat food it gets processed through your body and then into the sewer system ..

            but we want to hold on to things well past them serving us any useful purpose ..or we want to hold on to people even if they are taking away from our lives and sucking up valuable energy from us ..or stay in a job we hate ..

              yes, those are good points.

              to be in tune with your current emotions can mean letting go of what your past accumulated. as you said, "why wait until old age .." some people don't wait until old age (like self-help blogger steve pavlina or the "bohobeautiful" couple on youtube) but it is more common to wait.

    you have to be well aware of your true expectations .. you can write all the goals you want take actions to achieve the goals but if you truely do not expect those things to happen they will not .

    this year has taught me a lot about minding my expectations..because ..yeah it has been both rough and rewarding.. i have learned a lot about myself ..

    you have to be free enough to define your own success and create your own reality ..i am getting better at it ..and next year should be much better than any year i have lived so far ..

    i create my reality based around the possibilities coming in the future ..i see the bad and the good and steer at the good ..

    most of humanity is creating their future based on what has happened in the past ..

    heck i bet most peoples goals or visions of their futures when they dream are filled with many things they did not have but wanted .

    Most people make a lot of promises to themselves that they will become successful, especially during this time of the year. But when 2017 comes, they forget about their commitment.

    Years ago, I read about this book called the follow through effect, and it totally changed me. My perspective of success is that it comes in a 3 to 5 years, one step at one step, instead of the normal I want to achieve it in one year.

    Since then, whenever i approach big tasks and goals, I will try to break it down and not give up so easily.

      when you limit success to financial thinking or financial status you can get that 3-5 to 10 year timeline ..

      i have success points in several areas of my life .. because a few 5-6 years ago i was depleted or below zero in basically every area of my life .. i was in pain had trouble getting out of bed .. standing or sitting for any length of time .. on medication that sucked the life out of me .. 10 -20 thousand in debt . no job unable to work but not bad enough in one area to get disability ..bi polar disorder had destroyed my life .. and i was putting on weight at a scary pace ..shy did not talk to people did not want to ..

      when you fall into living hell for many years and claw your way out your idea of success

      i have regained my physical health .. from having terrible back pain to having a little pain now and then while i work ..i maxed out at 260 pound 2 and a half years ago and i amd down to 215 without any diet just long term changes in the way i eat .. my bi polar is under control with no meds .. and i am in a good mood most of the time .. i have no job but i do work iand i have fun and talk to people all the time .. i have been able to keep a roof over my head and food in my belly sense April after moving to las vegas in march with no idea what i was going to do and 2,000 in my bank

      don't have a girlfriend right now .. but i want to get a little more stable with my income and lose a bit more weight and tone up my muscles a bit more through the next few month ..and its Las vegas so when i get to that point it's meet her have her move in with me and marry her in a week .. haha ..

      right now i have in the last year .. gotten a certain level of success in many areas of my life ..a basic level.. especially when everyone who knew me bfore i came out here figured i would end up homeless .. anyway .. i have this level of success and i can build on it from here

      the key to success is that success starts with suc.. or suck... then you suck less ..and suck less until you succeed or suc seed .. and from that seed you grow more success..

      if you have never cooked before you are not going to cook a meal like the celebrity chefs ..in fact a lot of people watch that .. and because the can't they don't even try to cook basic stuff ..

      hell 95 percent of the people who buy info products .. give up once they realize ..wait i have too work." "and i won't magically be making a million bucks a year in a few months "

    billionaire mark cuban was asked, "why do people fail in business?"

    he replied, "lack of brains. lack of effort."

    brains + effort = growth mindset

    you don't grow if you mindlessly slog away working with a method that doesn't produce results. maybe it's a lot of effort, but it's not nimble. then brains (innovation or excellent strategy) without the effort is stagnation. you need both for growth.

    [quote is from 2015 mark cuban interview with patrick bet-david of valuetainment. that interview is on youtube and about an hour long.]

    Malleable,...l am not massaging my brain for anyone!

    No, l have been online for a good 9 years, and am probably on the verge!


    But l agree when the going gets very hard and it seems that it will not work, that is when a stupid job, looks more attractive.


    Pretty hard to stay motivated when you have stayed up late, (after being at work all day) and after a year of effort, see little in the way of returns.


    But there is something called the Tipping Point, or that any business is hard initially, but when you get your competency over the 99% mark then success becomes easy.


    Hopefully l am at 99% now, but the next font launch will show whether l am or not!

The other thing you quickly realize is that you cant ever be truly happy unless you make movements towards your desires, towards your dreams out there ahead of you in your future. You have to make the notion of wildly successful a must for your life.

    True, hitting the jackpot is up there with popping out a baby, least that is what l have heard!

    True, l have tried the news year res, but a year later after it didn't happen, l think, well, that was pretty stupid.


    It takes as long as it takes, and pushing yourself excessively, only leads to exhaustion or illness.


    Just read about Ray Crock, (McDonalds founder) he was a mess when he made it!

    True, but if l put the type of effort into my presentations than l am now, when l would expect at least one jackpot product for every three attempts.


    So, is it just luck, not really, most 9-5 slaves, might think so, but more managing luck.

    tagiscom..

    your training and conditioning from like 6 -18 ..or k-12 is all preperation for either getting a job and earning a wage .. or you are just prepared for more education.. and after another 4,6 or 8 years you get a job to earn a wage ..

    of course it is going to be real hard if you try to move from a lifetime of being trained to work for a wage .. to living off profits ..in a year or two ..in reality the tipping point should be .. after 2 3 4 ..years of working a job and a business on the side.. when you realize working the job is costing you money ..

    business requires skill setts that take time to develop and some of them can be developd in different jobs if you chose jobs for more than just the pay .

    and 95 times out of 100 ..the first business .. really is only your path to a second business .. then a third ..and very successfull people have many businesses or at least many many LLCs where one business they own is selling or leasing to another ..

    where even if you go from wage slave to running your own business.. many people stop at that one business and one source of income ..for lifetime fincial success .. a person has develop multiple sorces of income ..

    the same way for optimum health you need a wide verity of nutrient and mineral rich foods in your diet.. or many different physical activities ..

    or many different relationship with people .. many different sources of information ..

    the last hundred years the education system has been desinged turn humans into machines .. that do repetitive work we could not design machines to do ..and now we are able to design machines and programs to do a lot of thing only humans use to be able to do..

    yes .. right now the sucky job can seem like a better choice than slowly learning the skills needed to run a business ..by running a business.. but unless you run the businesses that use the machines or programs..you run the risk of being replaced by them over and over again..

    which is actually harder ..or safer ..or less risky ..in the world we live in today ..

      Yes, exactly, that is why most retires, who typically live past 83, have a crap quality of life; live on a meagre pension, no savings, and have a house that is slowly falling apart and your medical costs, what with the BS, going on medically, you will probably have to sell your house and go and life on the street, to cure whatever.


      At this point since all you know is working for someone, apart from blowing any savings on some Duplex con, you have to start from square one, at an old age.


      Or work hard online, for almost 10 year,.....probably be dead before you make it?


      It is Critical to put in the hard yards, when you are younger, and not just p*** away your time going overseas, or watching mindless crap on tv.


      business requires skill setts that take time to develop and some of them can be developd in different jobs if you chose jobs for more than just the pay .

      and 95 times out of 100 ..the first business .. really is only your path to a second business .. then a third ..and very successfull people have many businesses or at least many many LLCs where one business they own is selling or leasing to another ..

      or many different relationship with people .. many different sources of information ..

      Ummm, well, l have tried virtually everything online, and no, l won't settle for the first thing that works, not if it is very expensive or has another issue.


      I have run the numbers on flyers, and even with what l know now, it would take at least 8 years working full time at that to earn a full wage from it.


      Fonts since the unfront costs are substantially higher, and it takes a lot of hard work to do one, the market is a lot less saturated.






      the last hundred years the education system has been desinged turn humans into machines .. that do repetitive work we could not design machines to do ..and now we are able to design machines and programs to do a lot of thing only humans use to be able to do..

      yes .. right now the sucky job can seem like a better choice than slowly learning the skills needed to run a business ..by running a business.. but unless you run the businesses that use the machines or programs..you run the risk of being replaced by them over and over again..

      Yep, around the turn of the century, (last one) about 87% of employment was Ma and Pa small businesses, but now it is the other way.


      True l remember being in the classroom and learning how to sit still and shut up, unfortunately l wasn't very good at either so spent a lot of time under the desk.


      The teachers were probably p**** about working in a low paid job, for all of eternity, and took it out on me?

    only thing i remember my teach bitching about in class was why some guy got paid so much to hit a ball when the work teachers did was so important..

    everything in the world is changing now even success itself so many advancements are here already and the stuff coming out in the next 15 years ..n one can stop the future at this point .. there will be a scanner like the star track tri corder .. you will run it over your body ..and get instant diagnostics ..and suggestion for what to eat to take care of nutritional failings.. heck you will scan the food you buy and know exactly what is in it ..and um before you jump in the sack with someone .. haha ..

    traditionally we attempt to predict the future based on what has happened in the past .. today that does not work any more ..

    right now .. take retiring out of the equation for your life .. and assume you will be doing some sort of occupation for the rest of your life ..unless you have no skill ..then at some point you will get on some government stipend.. pick up some addiction and od or destroy your health and drag on a few years before dieing from the damage ..

    so you either find work you enjoy doing and can build a business around .. or you end up not working and living a miserable disease filled life and until you die an early death ..from diabetes or some other illness you get from sitting on your ass and stuffing you face full of packaged food and taking medication for long periods of time instead of fixing your diet and getting off you ass ..

    is that to harsh and not politically correct ..

    there are two main paths you can take into the future ..one where you have all the information available to you to take control of your life and make better choices in nearly every area ..the other you keep your head down and put your life on auto pilot .. eat the food in package that say healthy .. go to the doctors when you get an illness from the food and take the life time treatment .. put your retirment in the hands of social security ..and just live your life hoping the expert advice you are trying to follow works ..

    Yep, a bit harsh, there is a gray area, but l still got a laugh, so....


    Not all unemployed are lazy slobs, but most probably are.


    Yeah, health, lol, overprescribe diet options, time limits on exercise, and give misleading and downright untrue info, about other things, and you get chronic illness for life.


    Medical bodies put "buy my s***" before health, and most of the time it is "buy my very expensive s***"!


    But l don't buy their s***!


    Probably explains why l look 15 years younger, and am fit and healthy.




    there are two main paths you can take into the future ..one where you have all the information available to you to take control of your life and make better choices in nearly every area ..the other you keep your head down and put your life on auto pilot .. eat the food in package that say healthy .. go to the doctors when you get an illness from the food and take the life time treatment .. put your retirment in the hands of social security ..and just live your life hoping the expert advice you are trying to follow works ..

    Expert advise, lol, it is a crock, most people in AU, end up with 50 to around 100k at age 69, then blow the lot and go on the pension, so unless they have 10k under their mattresses, and live too long they are screwed.


    I think that Super, (401k) is just there to give a lot of corporations an income, but does little for the majority.


    I would rather be wealthy, so....

    Yes, blowing 100k on some Duplex scheme near the beach, because you don't have enough to retire on, and p*** it away on something like this, is what most seem to do!


    But l suppose that it is easier to blow it than to set up a blog or website, put in the effort and learning then try something else if it doesn't work.


    As the original author said "the sooner you start" those words should be on a wall in gold lettering!


    If you are unemployed, and spend the next 5 years watching football and drinking beer, then in 5 years time, you will an expert on drinking a beer, and football results and history, but still broke.


    Someone else, who understands how time turns you into a loser or you use it, to become a winner, instead invests what little money they have into a laptop, learns fails, trys something else, and fails again, etc.


    May still be trying after 5 years, but they know a hell of a lot more about what doesn't work online than the first person does.


    Or they are substantially closer to success.

    well here is the problem .. they are restricting their efforts to online.. ..if you start and run an offline business ..a service based business that has low cot of entry .. you learn a lot more a lot faster than just online then you can expand to building online income ..because most service businesses even if local ..need to have an online presence .. the website, the facebook page.. customer contact management..

    to many people trying to make it online just don't want to deal with people ..

    from doing my offline thing ..it's not a business .. but i own my gear i chose when i work.. well more like the temperature outside chooses when i work..everyday haha ..

    speaking of which..time to go..

    ok so i have not gone yet .. but this is just a note ..

    if you take oranges grown organically in great soil.. picked at the prime ..and squeezes them into real fresh orange juice .. with all the vitamins enzymes and nutrient in tact .. and compare it to the stuff you buy in a store .. that it just a higher sugar drink that the taste from the orange juce was lot a year ago and replaced with perfumes and artificial flavors ..

    a majority of people will taste both and still chose the unhealthy crap from the store because it tastes better .. and then put their kids on add meds ..because they are loading them up with high sugar orange juice with breakfast every morning ..and high sugar cereals that claim to be healthy..on the box ..

    then when they want to be healthy.. or eat healthy .. they will buy a salad and dump 700 calories worth of dressing on it ..

    again two paths in life .. to be successful long term .. you identify the symptoms of a problem and fix the problem ..

    or you identify the symptoms and treat the symptoms .. or just complain about them to your freinds who have the same problems .. to complain about ..

    you will always have problems/ opportunities to make your life better ..success is builrt on solving problem after problem after problem in your life..then showing more and more people how to solve those problems in their lives

    Yep, and crap orange juice also tastes slightly bitter to give the illusion that the crap is real.


    Breakfast cereals, groan, yeah, most are nutritionally devoid of any goodness, and the nutritional info on the side is from the two vitamin pills, (the powder) they throw into each box.




    I have 2 fruits and nuts with honey each day, (for the first part) and feel a lot better for it.




    As for the recommended 4 fruits a day, most cannot eat that many a day, and most likely most give up, and go back to diets, that allow doctors to continue to sell their s***.


    As is the BS about needing half an hour of strenuous exercise, more crap. Any exercise is good.

    ..i have been making money without a job sense april.. and it's not a real business .. but my priorities are make enough to pay my rent every week and buy food .. i was drinking beer while i worked every day from may to a week ago.. but my taste bud never did like beer and it has gotten cold out while i work so it wasn't metabolizing properly ..aka i was getting bloated .. so i just stop drinking .. or more to the point put off having beer untill spring time haha ..

    i cook and i make pretty tasty food .. i know how to reduce the fat causing stuff and integrate veggies in and get stuff to still taste good ..but man i still like taco bell haha ..

    i walk 5-12 miles a day while i work and i work every day ..

    i have a personal goal of integrating as much of my life together as possible .. rather than boxing parts of my life up like being two different or three different people ..what i do to make money is also my most enjoyable form of entertainment many time while i am working ..and main source of exercise and interaction with people ..

    the most successful people integrate thier lifestyles and their businesses ..Branson runs his businesses from neker island.. which itself is a high end resort .. look ar most very wealthy people and you will see integration .. not work life balance

    not only that their businesses are extensions of them.. and their personalities ..

    it will be real hard to build a business and sustain success if you don't grasp your personaity and mold the business after it ....but .. you have to also be fine with the fact most people won't like your business ..and not take it personally ..

    think wal mart and Microsoft ..hehe

    Well, Microsoft was good years ago, but it is just evil now.


    Not like my business,.....doing fonts,..nah, not like me for making it successful, more likely!




    People who have thrown their aspirations in the bin and put a lot of their time into a stupid job, won't listen to a word l say about fonts, and if l make it successful, then in order to cope with said, stupid job, say, "how lucky you are".


    Then you say, "yeah, the harder l work, the luckier l become:" but unfortunately that remark goes over their heads.


    Such is the way of the world,....think for yourself if you are surrounded by idiots!

    sometimes the harder you work.. just mean you are working harder .. i personally work a lot ..but i do not work hard ..

    i work as a busker costume actor on the Vegas strip .. i work in the hangover costume..because i look and sound like Allen from hang over .. people come up to m and ask to take pictures with me..where as most costume have to ask everyone who walks buy if they want pictures ..

    to get luckier ..you have to leave opportunities open for luck to happen .. now oddly enough i have spent less gambling sense i moved to Vegas in march .. then i use to on scratch tickets .. that is not where my luck happens ..

    last weekend while i wasn't working but still out on the strip wandering around .. i found a 20 on the floor in a store ..

    execution should be the easy part .. not the hard part .. football teams practice all week to play a three hour (60 minutes of play but ) game and most players are only on the field a fraction of that..but spent hours and hours practicing and watching videos and studing the game plan .. so you guy on the defence doesn't have to think about what to do .. but when he sees the chance to intercept.. ..band he gets lucky ..

    if your so immersed in effort to execute .. you may miss opportunities .. or lucky breaks

    Listen to cosmic hypnosis perhaps?

    This blue police telephone box popped out of the blue ... I mean, thanks man for the wonderful post that contributed to monstrous growth from down under though without acknowledging its not so secret origin anymore.

    I totally agree. The best thought to think is "My mind is the center of Divine operation." Impressing that thought upon yourself allows you to believe and know that your self power (in alignment with God) is truly limitless. Success is truly a mindset just as much as failure is. What we believe most often we receive most commonly. I believe in all this as a true fact of life. Blessings to you for this mindful reinforcement.
