What if you had to do THIS to succeed?

Someone once said, “Success is easy.” Another said, “If it’s easy, it’s sleazy.” Though I think the latter comment is kinda funny, and makes me chuckle a little bit, when you understand the definition of easy in the former comment, the former becomes an agreeable philosophy. In the proper context, easy is defined as “something you can do.” In other words, if you can do it, it’s easy. So, said another way, the former comment would sound like this:
“Success is something you can do.”
To give you contrast between things you CAN do, and things that perhaps you can’t, or wouldn’t do, watch the video below and then keep reading below to finish the article.
Now if that is what was required to succeed, that would be hard. If I knew that’s what I had to do to succeed, man I would just be a failure. Assuming this video is real (there’s a chance it’s fake), that girl could have just has easy died as she did slide through the net! If success is that scary, that hard…no thanks!
But it’s not! Success, is easy! Again, said another way, success is something you can do!!
Do you want to know the recipe for success? It’s not that hard. And it doesn’t take that long.
Here it is…
- Every day, read 10 pages of a good book.
- Every day, listen to 15 minutes of a good audio.
- Every quarter, attend at least one seminar, workshop or class to improve your skills.
- Disassociates with the people who have your problems, and associate with those who have your solutions.
And do it over and over and over and over again, even when it seems to be making no difference, you just keep doing it day after day, over and over and over again, until the compounded effect kicks in. And when it kicks in, it kicks in big time! I love what Napoleon Hill said, he said, “When riches begins to come, it will come so quickly and in such great abundance that you will wonder where it had been hiding during all the lean years.” Such is the result of of the compounding effect of a life dedicated the process of success.
And if it’s not riches your after, substitute that word riches with the word of your choice…health, love, romance, success, fame, importance, spirituality, blissful family relationships, etc. The key is simply following the recipe.
And that, is the recipe for success!
You can allow yourself be thrown through hoops you’re whole life, or, you can follow the recipe of success for a very short period of time and create an abundant life that will last a lifetime. Your choice.
Stay tuned for my detailed explanation of The Recipe for Success. Coming Soon.

The two statements you pointed out of “Success is easy” vs “If its easy it’s sleazy” , had conflicted with my inner me. Pointing out that EASY is somethng you can do and putting it together. “Success is something you can do” truely helps win a mind battle of confliction. You are doing a great work and I believe in you vision of a million being mentored on pd4free.
My experience has been that the “if it’s easy it’s sleazy” saying is usually said by somebody promoting a program that’s hard! They are trying to talk people into doing something outside their comfort zone.
I think that success does come after work, but the work usually doesn’t feel “hard” because you enjoy it! But without work, I don’t think there’s any real success, we are most happy when we are productive!
Great post!
