What Does It Take To Be Successful? THE TRUTH!

I have created a new and improved version of K Money Mastery which is called, Mastering Book Publishing!

What does it take to be successful? Most people are delusional about success and what it takes.

People are often looking for a “quick fix” and only want success if it is convenient and easy. The truth is, success is hard.  It's not easy.

It requires work.  Sacrifice.  Commitment. Success is not for everyone.  If it was easy, then everyone would be successful.

Success is only reserved for those who are truly committed and willing to do whatever it takes. In this video blog, I share what it takes to be successful and reveal the truth of what I had to endure in order to achieve success.

I'm recording this video from Cannes, France. It's beautiful here.  I've enjoyed my vacation here, exploring Paris, Cannes and Monaco. I've never seen so much luxury and wealth in my life. People here are LOADED.  No joke.

Ferrari's.  Yachts.  Luxury clothing stores. It's pretty remarkable to be around this environment, as it's something you don't see everyday. It really humbles you.  It also motivates you, showing you what is possible. Now… success comes in many forms.

There's financial success, what most people know “success” as. However, I don't define being wealthy as success. I look at all areas of life – health, fitness, relationships, emotions, social, spiritual, etc… There are peaks and levels of success in all of these areas of life.

Whatever you're pursuing success at right now, understand that success is a long-term journey. I understand there's some people that miraculously achieve success seemingly overnight. That is the 1%.

The majority of people, however, struggle at achieving success. What does success require? Hard work.  Sacrifice.  Doing whatever it takes. More than that, it takes time. It took me YEARS to achieve the success I'm now blessed to enjoy today. The first few years were a struggle.  Nothing seemed to be progressing.  I wasn't earning more, but I just kept at it.

During that time, what I didn't realize was that I was building the foundation for my success in the future. You see, the years you spend working away and developing yourself never go to waste. That self-development is almost like roots being grown under a tree.

You don't see the results (or the “fruits”) right away when you plant a tree. It takes awhile.  But eventually, the tree will sprout. Over time, that tree will grow into a massive tree and provide amazing fruits (“results”). It's the same with success. It takes time.

It takes hard work. Don't expect it to come easy or fast. Trust the process and be patient. You can't give up.  That is only when you fail. I see people that “give up” all the time.  People inside my Kindle publishing course, Mastering Book Publishing. When they first sign-up, they are eager and excited.

Some people have awesome success and results, which I love to hear the stories from. Others, they dabble with it, don't watch the lessons, don't complete the actions, and eventually call it quits. What happened to that eagerness and excitement they initially demonstrated?  Gone.

What happened to the “COMMITMENT” they declared, that they were going to make this work and become financially free? Disappeared. Giving up… it's sad, but success isn't for everyone.

For most, people will live comfortably or struggle throughout their lifetimes. Many people are willing to settle with mediocrity.  There's nothing wrong with that. But if deep down inside, you have that desire for success, then you owe it to yourself to pursue it. If you don't, then you'll always have regrets and “what ifs”.

More than that, the reward of success is NOT the result of money or anything like that. The real reward of success is WHO YOU BECOME. To have success, you need to BECOME SUCCESSFUL. A successful person is someone that possesses incredible habits, qualities and character traits that have led them to their success.

Successful people have to find a way to grow and to give beyond themselves. They deal with adversity differently.  They don't let failure affect them.  They are grounded.  Confident.  The 1%. Who can be successful? Anyone can. You don't need anything remarkable. If you live in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, or any civilized country, then you have no restraints holding you back.

Success is within your grasps – you just have to be willing to do what it takes. Do you have it in you? Are you willing to do what it takes to be successful? Time will tell. If I could break through, then you can too.

I believe in you.
