For quite a while now you’ve probably been working with some sort of company, startup, or an individual - doing the best that you can in order to help them succeed.

Have you been working really hard? Yes!

With passion? Probably!

Are you successful?

I don’t know.

But statistically speaking, probably not…

It Starts With Your *WANT*

From my own experience and knowledge, the only way to really become successful is by knowing exactly what it is that you want from your life - and then reverse engineering the situation.

Working hard and having passion are definitely important - but without knowing exactly what it is that you want - you won’t have any direction.

The Orange

Allow me to simplify things.

Example 1

Imagine you were at home and suddenly felt hungry! You’re not really sure what it is you want to eat, but you know that you just have to eat something right away.

You walk to your local supermarket and walk up and down the aisles looking for something to eat. You know that you’re hungry, but there are like a million different options from you to choose from.

So you keep walking up and down the aisles, unable to make a decision - and because of this, you end up buying a lot more than you initally needed - and by now you’ve just spent over 30 minutes at the supermarket buying crap you don’t need.

Example 2

Now - let’s say that you were at home and suddenly craved an orange! Sure, you are hungry - but you know exactly what it is that you want - and you want it right now.

Just like before, you walk to your local supermarket - but in this instance, you walk straight to the fruits section, buy your range and leave.

The whole trip takes no longer than 2 minutes, and you end up paying for exactly what you wanted.

Life is the Same

Life works in a very similar way.

Stop wasting time, and stop investing in things that you don’t need.

You need to know what you want, chase it - and ignore everything else.
