Most people WISH for success & good fortune but they don’t take the necessary steps to EARN it. I was fortunate enough to watch a Brian Tracy seminar on success a while back and he gave us success tips from Self Made millionaires.
If you want success… follow his tip below! In my case, it didn’t earn me a million dollars… instead it allowed me to earn & save enough $$$ to handle a couple HUGE financial & medical blows. I’m still here… and living well because I position myself favorably in the eyes of my employers & client by using the tip below.
Here are notes from Brian Tracy’s speech:
All self made millionaires work hard, hard, hard. They start earlier, they work harder and they stay later. They develop a reputation for being amongst the hardest working people in their fields. And everybody knows it.
Practice the "40 Plus" formula. This formula says that you work 40 hours per week for survival. Everything over 40 hours is for success.
If you only work 40 hours, and the average work week today is closer to 35 hours, all you will ever do is survive. You will never get ahead. You will never be a big financial success. You will never be highly respected and esteemed by your colleagues. You will always be mediocre working the basic 40 hour week.
But every hour over 40 is an investment in your future. You can tell where you are going to be in five years by looking at how many hours over 40 you put in every week. The average self-made millionaire in America works 59 hours per week and some of them work 70 and 80 hours. The average self-made millionaire in America works six days per week rather than five, and works longer days as well. If you want to call a self-made millionaire, phone the office before normal working hours and after normal working hours. The self-made millionaire is there when the staff arrives, the nine to fiver's, and is still there when they leave.
And here's the key: work all the time you work. When you work, don't waste time. When you get in early, put your head down and get started immediately. When people want to talk to you, you excuse yourself and say, "I have to get back to work!" Do not drop off your dry cleaning, phone your friends, socialize with your co-workers or read the newspaper. Work all the time you work.
Resolve today to develop the reputation for being the hardest working person in your company. This will bring you to the attention of people who can help you faster than almost anything else you can do.
A final thought:
I’ve worked in many environments where the majority of staff needs to “warm up” and talk to each other for 30 minutes to an hour or more BEFORE getting to work.
If you’re the one person who follows the 40+ rule from above… the other staff may try to suck you in... plant themselves in your office… or talk unfavorably of you when you’re not around. They say things like, He/she isn’t a team player… He/she is up to something… stuck up… etc.
Who cares! Check in with your boss frequently. Ask what needs to be done and help THE BOSS look good!
Take care!
