Today, I shall tell you the most important secret of successful people. In fact, it is the one thing you need to succeed in life.
Successful people, especially the ones in the thick of their journey, don’t have time for much else. I write extensively about this in my book, Slow Down, Wake Up.
So when you see them, they appear to have it all under control.
But a day in the life of a successful person shows he is working furiously to keep things moving full speed ahead.
As a young entrepreneur and ambitious writer, I take it upon myself to surround myself with as many successful individuals as possible.
I want to learn from them. Study them. Understand them and their motives — so that I can take what is applicable to my own personal journey, and leave the rest. I can learn from them the most important thing to do to be successful in life.
This goes back to the old saying, “You are a reflection of the five people you spend the most time with.”
I believe that.
And in taking it upon myself to talk to and learn from so many successful individuals — everyone from solopreneurs who have carved out a nice niche for themselves, all the way up to billionaires several times over — what I have learned is they all live by a very fundamental rule of thumb.
It’s actually quite simple.
Here’s the rule: Do what you need to do, before you do what you want to do.
It is your one thing to do to be successful. But, what does that mean? Watch the video to know more.
