What is ‘success’ anyway?
For me, it’s having someone other than my parents, sister and my only two friends like something that I wrote on Facebook (no offence, mum!).
But some people will naturally want more than this.
So to this, I’d say:
- Find something at which you’re already winning. A talent. A small success made. Something you’re interested in. Something you’re good at.
Something you could become great at.
Decide on that one thing.
2. Commit to making that thing gut-wrenchingly outstanding, through…
3. …Dedicating at least 80% of the time you have available for ‘work’ on that thing, every day of the week, with a half-day break for an adventure.
4. Decide on exactly what your daily output will be in a given timeframe.
For example: ‘1000 words written between 7 am, and 10 am every darn day.’
Got it?
Now double your planned output in half that timeframe.
Now it’s a real stretch, but doable.
Work with urgency.
Always feel like there’s no way you’ll get this thing done as you go, and then surprise yourself…
