Success... Around The Corner Of Application

Hey family, you, me, and all of our fellow marketers know that old saying… “Success Leaves Clues.” What happens in our industry is we tend to get caught up in other comrade’s stories that we miss the clues all together.

What do I mean?

Let me give you my simple definition of success.

Success: The ability to do what you want, when you want, how you want, and the ability to take care of those closest to you. Now let me share one of my mentor’s stories…

My mentor tried many opportunities, followed the system, and applied all the principles just like you and I did, yet no “success.” He quit his job thinking if he only had more time to dedicate toward his opportunity that would be the key to unlock his success. This proved to be a bad move and a season of preparation (short term pain), yet a good move for the long term (long term gain).

The ridicule plus loss of respect my mentor faced was so intense from his family, friends, etc, and such he justifiably could have quit. This is a clue because it’s that type of stick-tuitivness necessary to succeed with anything especially marketing and business related.

This was the beginning of securing his financial future, and creating a complete, and total stable, free of stress lifestyle, allowing him to have fun at what he does. Did you catch those clues, or were you drawn into his story?

He was teased about having one car or “the one car” and how he had to drop his wife off to work and then try to go make something happen in the marketplace before his job savings ran out.

One day my mentor saw a Cadillac Escalade he wanted. He visited a Cadillac dealer and proceeded to find out how much it was and what the loan particulars were. Due to his maxed out credit and lack of finances at that time he was laughed at by the salesman and shown some extremely lesser appealing vehicles. My mentor left that dealership fired up, so much so in that moment of disgust he immediately began applying himself and the system principles available to him offline to generate him so much revenue…

He was able to buy the Escalade cash, have a big red ribbon tied on the hood and surprise his wife when she got off work with the new keys delivered to her while she was looking out the window for him as she did every night after work. She saw my mentor with his arms out as if he was saying to her non-verbally… “This is only the beginning, I love you, and thanks for believing in me.”

Getting caught up in the story yet? Again that’s not the clue. Imagine this man telling his story in front of 20,000 people at a corporate convention. I’m sure you can see how that captive audience received that story. Let’s also throw in my mentor’s acquired people skills and oratory ability.

Tears flowed; there was laughter, relatedness, etc. My mentor talked about his struggles, frustration, pain, anger, faith, and adventures. He talked about how he wanted to give more than he ever earned and how that was his present reality.

My mentor has been telling that story for over 10 years and the response is usually the same. The clue that most of us miss is not the specifics in the story, but the story itself. How it is shared, what emotions are brought out, and the most important fact or clue…

Telling the stories at the right time and circumstances to gain the desired results. We tend to search for the one thing, or step by step blueprint that if followed precisely will yield us the same if not greater results.

There is no such thing, because everyone is different. My mentor’s path is not mine, yours, or anyone else’s. It is his and his alone.

We can I believe, gain insight probably beyond the clues shared in this article. The key is what are your applications in the online world now that will lead you to your success?
