Nothing is new. It’s all been done 1,000 times before. Why reinvent the wheel?
You want success, it’s a science and all you need to do is find someone who is successful in your field who wrote about it and do what they did.
Trouble with this is in many books and stories online about success they leave out one most important thing: “failure.”
How do you handle failure?
When shit happens what do you do? When you don’t feel encouraged what do you do? When you don’t get what you want what do you do? When something doesn’t work what do you do?
I know people who kept asking for their father’s approval until the day he died. Why would they bang their head on concrete?
I know people who kept doing hard work to become a partner when results and partner and hard work (long tedious hours) have nothing to do with becoming partner.
