How long are you willing to wait for success to arrive?
If your answer is numerical, I got news for you…
Success will never come.
The moment you put a deadline on your success is the same moment you set yourself up for failure.
Yes, you should decide on a due date when you set goals.
For example:
“By December 31, 2018, I will be making $100 per day on the internet“.
Writing specific goals with a due date greatly increases your chances of achieving them.
However, there’s a difference between a due date and a deadline.
A due date is when you expect to have the goal, but doesn’t mean you’ll give up if you don’t have it by then.
A deadline is the FINAL day you allow yourself to achieve the goal.
See the difference?
If you truly want success, you need to completely forget about deadlines.
You must make the decision to:
- Achieve your goal no matter what because you 100% believe you deserve it
- Wait as long as it takes
- Develop the patience of monk
Look…
I’ve been doing this a long time now, and if there’s one thing I know it’s that when you shift your mindset from:
“I’ll give myself a year, and if nothing happens, I’ll quit”
To:
“I’m going to achieve this no matter how long it takes”
…It changes EVERYTHING!
Success suddenly becomes something that absolutely has to happen instead of something that might happen.
Makes sense?
Your work ethic, focus and motivation is a lot stronger when you know you MUST achieve a goal.
Forget deadlines, forget how long it takes and forget everything that’s not going to move you closer to success.
Right here, RIGHT NOW, repeat out loud:
“I am going to achieve _____________ and will not stop until it’s mine.”
Next, take action EVERY SINGLE DAY towards that goal.
Devote a minimum of an hour to either studying or taking action.
Do that for a year and I absolutely guarantee that you’ll be amazed at how much progress you make.
It’s scary how FAST success comes rushing into your life when you make the decision not to quit until it arrives.
Start now because yesterday is gone and tomorrow will be too late.
Inside the success bible, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill explains how it’s impossible for you to desire something unless you’re capable of achieving it.
The question is: Will you wait for success or will you give yourself a deadline?
Choose wisely, my friend…
