Incorrect Thinking About Successful People...

33 replies
Make it a rule to seek advices from people who know. There's a lot of incorrect thinking that successful people are inaccessible. The plain truth is that they are not. As a rule, it's the most successful people who are the most humble and ready to help. Its the "would-be-big" people, who are most often the most abrupt and hard to get to know.

    Hello Expression, thanks for posting

    Yes, I totally agreed with what you say, "As a rule, it's the most successful people who are the most humble and ready to help. Its the "would-be-big" people, who are most often the most abrupt and hard to get to know"

    Without all these successful enterprenuers precious advice, I don't think I can be what I am now

    I give my honour to all my super successful Mentors and Coaches!

    I wish you All The Best in everything you do.

    Have a prosperity day!

    To Your Success,
    Grace Jen

    Hi Expression,

    Thanks for the reminder and maybe it is time for me to do something and get access to people who are successful and find more tips from them.

    Cheers

    I have to say that a lot of my endevours have been thwarted by 'successful'
    and powerful people ... they seem to want to go out of their way to stop
    anyone they don't know from getting to where they want to be.

    Not being negative but, it's waht I have found, over the years

    " If you envy successful people, you create a negative force field of attraction that repels you from ever doing the things that you need to do to be successful. If you admire successful people, you create a positive force field of attraction that draws you toward becoming more and more like the kinds of people that you want to be like."

    It's all in the initial approach. are you problem oriented or solution oriented. There is a difference between being proactive, positive and determined as oppose to re-active, unsure and hopeful. Being proactive, positive, and determined opens up the world to who ever seeks it.

    If I take one step back from your initial quote: There are so many people on the internet who offer themselves as experts that you get into the situation that you do not trust anyone.
    But you are right - I will change my attitude.
    Thanks

      Hey Expression, you are absolutely right

      " If you envy successful people, you create a negative force field of attraction that repels you from ever doing the things that you need to do to be successful. If you admire successful people, you create a positive force field of attraction that draws you toward becoming more and more like the kinds of people that you want to be like."

      I personally experienced this, this is so cool!
      When you admire those super successful people, you dream about them, how they carry out the task, how they deal with the issue, etc... you do things that these people normally do, you will eventually become one of them, so amazing!!!

      Folks, thanks for sharing in this great Topic, I absolutely love your guys positive Attitude here

      THANK YOU!

      Have a great day!

      To Your Success,
      Grace Jen

        Expression I think you absolutely right! Negative feelings are a damaging force that tends to defeat the person holding them more than anything else.

      I totally agree! The trick is finding really honest and successful people who actually have the time to teach you how to be just like them.....Sadly it is very time consuming....I was very grateful that I finally found someone that is not only extremely successful but is totally available ....I am now in a great club that I love receiving everything and every tool imaginable to follow him down that road....

      I hope you all have the same luck......Have a great day!

    "Givers gain" or as Zig Ziglar put it "to get what you want, help enough people get what they want".

    Every *truly* successful person I've met has been more than willing to help others.

    I believe it is the key to successful marketing too - start with a genuine desire to help your customer and take the focus off the money and watch the magic happen!

      Indeed this is the key to success! The thing is, we often complicate success. The simple approach is to help enough people. The word is HELP. Not trick or playing game with people. Sincerely help them and bam you are on your way.

    Once someone reaches a certain level of success, they would be more than willing to help others reach where they are. I agre that most successful people are 'humble and ready to help.'

    In fact, it's because of these people and their sharing that has contributed to many other's success, especially in WF. So well said...

    Successful people are usually successful because they've generously provided value to others and are being compensated for it - that's who they are - so they're usually open to others with the same mindset.

      I would add some words of wisdom.

      You can learn a lot of lessons from successful people, but you cannot duplicate their success, you have to create your own. What they have done is show you what you are capable of doing, and a lot more.

      There is no "one way" and there is no "best way" to accomplish anything. There is only your way and my way.

      I may learn from you and incorporate some things into my way, or I may find that what you are doing is not for me.

      Too many people take things at face value without practising the "Art of Discernment"

      The other reason to use discernment is that no one on this planet can tell you what is best for you or what the truth is for you. All they can do is express to you their experiences. They cannot tell you this because (1) they don't know and (2) you already know - the only problem is people do not seek to go within themselves to find their own truth about any situation.

      Look at it this way - If your father or mother wanted had something to say to you that was very important, would they go through me to do it, or would they speak to you directly.

      Don't get me wrong - I have always surrounded myself with successful mentors, and I have benefitted from their experience, but I still had to pick and choose what was right for me, and then put it into action.

    Hi Expression,

    The successful people will be great people to learn from as they have already done what we want to do. Having access to them and getting them as mentor will definitely help to speed up our way to success.

    This is a great reminder that no matter what our position in the world we should be sharing our knowledge with someone else that we could help. I believe you attract to yourself what you give away. The result if you are willing to help someone else, others will be willing to help you. Look at where you are in your business and what you have learned, then look at those that are where you started and help them.

    Create a Great Day
