Secrets for success‏

Good Morning Ladies & Gentlemen, 

I have a lot I want to get of my chest today, so lets get straight into it.  I am feeling really generous this week, with that in mind - I have decided that I’m going to give away something really, really special. I’m going to let you into a secret. I am going to unveil one of the biggest, yet smallest secrets ever discovered by man. However, [Terms & Conditions apply] - I should state here - I could get in trouble for revealing this secret, on the other hand, I believe it is imperative that I share it with you, our leaders of tomorrow. This secret is the 'key to your success. It’s the catalyst to your future. It’s the 'shortest cut' to financial freedom, great family relationships, 1st class university degrees, career promotion, etc.  In fact, every leader, entrepreneur, politician, family wo[man], knows about it. It’s about time you also knew about it.

Before I disclose this very close guarded secret. I should mention [Disclaimer] that the application of this secret, could either motivate you to success or de-motivate you to a life of simplicity and un-fulfilment. 

This secret is so powerful, that even the book 'The Secret' failed to disclose it. Just before I reveal it, I want you to do me a favour. I’m going to ask you to keep this secret to yourself. You must promise me, that you will never divulge this secret of success to another breathing human being. I value you as a consistent reader of our blog and our communications; therefore I want you and only you to benefit from such a life-transforming secret. 

I came across this secret a few years ago during my interaction with some highly successful and inspiring mentors. I will and can testify to its greatness.

*Can anyone guess what this secret is yet?

*In fact is there really even a secret?

*Are you really actually reading this message because you thought there was actually a 'short cut' to success? Haha....Well May's Fool award goes to you.

Lets get it straight, there is no short cuts, there has never been and there will never be. However, there is something called the 'shortestcut'. The ‘shortestcut’ simply say that if you pursue this route, you will attain your goal and desires in a shorter space of time, because you have applied the greatest 'non-secret' of our generation.

Hard Work, Smart Work and just pure, juicy perspiration. Thomas Edison said it best ...success will be attain through this simple equation "1% inspiration and 99% perspiration". In Goodman (1985) words, "to win the race of life, you will and must embrace the perspiration". In layman’s terms, you will need to buy a caseload of anti-perspirants.

Richard Branson, the Virgin brand owner, equally one of the world greatest entrepreneurs, is equally testament to the 'secret' - He quotes "have fun, but work hard".

Let me reassure you. Success is attainable. Goals and desires are attainable. Wealth is attainable. However, the short cut to achieve these things is through labour, out breaking of comfort zones, persistency, diligence, fervency, determination, strong work ethic = Success!

James Dee Richardson stated, "If hard work were really a virtue, then mules would be saints." Very true, many of us have given up on our goals, simply because we don’t know how to attain them. Let me round up by telling you another secret to success. 'Work Hard' is the twin brother of 'Hard Work'.

Have a fulfilling and hard working week and see the difference in results.
