There’s no secret to success.
There really isn’t.
You want to get great at something?
Fine.
Here’s what you do.
You go and do that thing over and over.
When I started this blog in 2014, my writing skills weren’t that great.
Now, five years later, I can write a 2,000 word article in less than an hour.
Why?
Because of work ethic.
I sat down every day and wrote.
Some days I was excited to write.
Other days it was the last thing I wanted to do.
Regardless of how I felt, I sat down and wrote.
Like I explain in my book How to Make $100 Every Day On The Internet, I disciplined myself every morning to write.
It was that work ethic that allowed me to create 450 articles, 4 eBooks and more success than I ever imagined.
Initially, I feared success.
I feared failure.
I feared wasting my time.
Thoughts like “What if I waste my time with this blogging thing? What if no one cares what I have to say? What if my writing isn’t good enough?”
But you know what?
No matter how many fears and doubts I had, I persisted.
I kept writing.
I have to give credit where it’s due.
One of the books that motivated me to persists was The Compound Effect.
It convinced me that doing something every day, even if it’s just for an hour, will eventually make me great at it.
Whether you want to make money online, rip fat off your body or meet and date beautiful women, there’s one thing you must do.
Actually do that thing.
The answers will come to you the more you do it.
You see, there’s a secret to success that many people don’t know about.
Experience is the best teacher.
It shows you exactly what works and what doesn’t.
Experience shows you things that you can’t learn in a book.
For example, when I was in my 20s, I approached a lot of women.
I would approach them at grocery stores, the mall, in class, and so on.
There always came that moment where it was time to ask for her number.
At the beginning, I would ask like this: “Do you want me to give your number so we can hang out sometime?”
My results weren’t great.
Out of every 10 women I approached, I’d get 1-2 numbers.
Then, one day, because of my work ethic and lack of fear, without thinking, I changed it up.
Instead of asking “Do you want to give me your number…”, I simply said “Put your number in my phone so we can hang out soon”.
BOOM!
My dating success SKYROCKETED overnight.
I would get one number after another just by changing the way I asked.
I immediately made a discovery.
Women like men who “tell” instead of “ask”.
By telling her to give me her number, it made her feel that I believed I deserved and could have a woman like her.
In other words, I came across as fearless.
She felt I was certain she’d say yes.
As a result, she couldn’t say no.
Of course, some women would still say no, but no where near as many women as before.
Where did my fearlessness come from?
Work ethic, my friend.
The more women I approached, the more things I picked up on and discovered.
Little my little I made a TON of discoveries that made succeeding with women effortless.
I share all those discoveries inside my Dating Mastery book.
The moral of the story is that work ethic can make you great at anything and bring you all the success you want.
The more you do something, the FASTER you get better at it.
At the beginning, you’ll always get that feeling in your stomach of nervousness and fear of failure.
Power through.
Do it anyways until that feeling of nervousness is gone.
Until you wake up fearless.
Start now.
Whatever you want, start RIGHT NOW!
Stop contemplating it.
Stop worrying about failing.
Failure is a blessing in disguise.
The more you fail, the closer you get to winning.
So get your ass up and go out there and fail.
Embrace it.
Look forward to it.
And smile every time you do fail.
Feel proud of your failures and persistence because you have something that most people lack.
You have the balls to get whatever you want in life.
And guess what, my friend?
Eventually, YOU WILL GET IT!
But you have to put that time in.
You have to maintain a strong work ethic.
Do it every day until you do it without thinking about it.
That’s the whole secret to success.
Do it until you’re pulled to do it.
When I first started blogging, I had to make myself do it.
Today, I feel uneasy if I don’t write.
I MUST do it daily.
I’m addicted to writing.
It’s funny how things can change.
Imagine where I’ll be 10 years from now.
Imagine how much content and how many more eBooks I’ll have on this blog.
And it would be because I was forced to write.
It will be because I wanted to write.
My success isn’t likely, it’s guaranteed.
I couldn’t quit or fail if I wanted to.
That’s the power of a strong work ethic.
Now it’s your turn.
