Following The Recipe

You hear all these gurus giving their formula for success. Some of them honestly believe, it will help people reach their goals like they did theirs. But they forget something. Or rather don’t even consider it, such as…

‘’You are not them’’

They have something that makes that formula work. It’s in them, forged from their life experiences. That is why so many people trying to emulate them fail and give up and then move to another guru. Who they think (at that moment) has the secret to success.

I look at Sir Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, John Paul DeJoria (my favorite), etc. They all have formulas for their success. The only problem is that they’re tailored to them.

I’ve struggled with this for a long time and the result I arrived at is…

I need a starting point. So, I will take the formula that resonates with me and my habits. And then make it my own. I need to make it mine, so I can succeed. Otherwise, I’m just going to be where I am for a long time and never move forward.

But how do I make it my own?

That is one simple question with a complex answer. We need to find that for ourselves. What I resolved to do is…

Try the formula how it is and see the results. Based on the results. I will incorporate my habits and things I like to do. And see where that gets me. Then again, I look at the results and change even further. It’s still a work in progress. But I find it to be the best way so far.

We are thought we should abandon our ‘’bad’’ habits and do what they do. But our bad habits may just be the key to our success. So, look closely at everything you did when you had success. And what was your behaviour at that time. Look at that and incorporate it into the guru’s formula. And you might just surprise yourself!
