habits

and your habits decide your future. No one succeeds overnight and no one fails overnight. Success is nothing more than the sum of small efforts repeated day after day. Today I want to share with you the 10 successful habits that I have learned and developed over the years. Habit number one: Successful people take 100% responsibility for their own life. You see, I was struggling, I was 20 years old. I had just failed in my thirteenth business. I started and failed in 13 businesses.

And back then I was lost. And I was blaming, I was blaming everything else. And when I met my first mentor, Alan, when he sat down with me and asked me the question, "Dan, what's not working?" I said, "Not everything works!" Good? "I'm not making enough money," right? "I'm in debt, I had all these failures, I don't understand it. "The customers are so stingy, the government, I don't know why." Right? "Taxes are so high and everything, the economy is bad. "And I was just pointing the finger at everyone else. I wasn't taking responsibility for my own life.

My mentor Alan told me, "Unless and until you take 100% responsibility for your own life, Dan , "you". "We're not going to be successful." And I thought, "Maybe he's right, maybe." At that moment, I thought, "Maybe, not 100%, but maybe it's my fault." And he says, "Maybe not, because you chose to 'start those businesses.' You chose those partners. 'You chose to dedicate your time to this.' "You made every decision on your own, "to the best of your knowledge, but still, "you chose what happened. "You choose and act accordingly." And from there I learned to take responsibility. The responsibility is mine If that's the way it should be, it's up to me and it's something you have to think about because stupid people blame people.

You can either make money or you can produce results. You can't do both, so that's habit number one. Assume 100% responsibility for your own life. Habit number two, and that is that you have to decide exactly what you want. Most people in life don't get what they want because they don't know what they want, and my mentor told me : "Well, Dan, you need to set a goal." Up to that point I haven't set any goals. He said, "I want you to set a goal. "What do you really want?" Now, at that time, when I was young, I thought my dream was to buy the Mazda RX8.

Red, rotary engine. And I thought if I could get that car, I would have made it, right? That was my dream, that was my only dream! I thought it would be cool if I could drive that car. And he said, "Okay, set that as a goal. 'Do that, that's what you want to do,' right? I said, 'Okay, great!' So now I'm doing all these things and I'm starting all these business and I wanted to support my mom, but I needed something to motivate me. I needed something that I could see, that I could feel, that I could focus on, and the RX8, that was it for me because at that time I was driving the Mazda, the Mazda 3 Hatchback, right?

And I wanted to get better, that was my dream. So the second habit is knowing exactly what you want. Once you know exactly what you want, habit number three is believing it's possible. That's it! You just have to believe that it's possible, not just for others but for yourself. Now, for me, back then, because I was already driving the Mazda 3, in my mind it wasn't like I was trying to get a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. .I thought, "Okay, that's an update." Okay? If I could focus, maybe, just maybe it's possible for me. So it doesn't seem so far-fetched.

It doesn't sound like you're not living in the basement with your mom and now you want to buy a 10 million dollar house. It was like, "Hey, I'm driving a Hatchback" and I could upgrade to a sports car. That was it. So you have to believe it's possible. It's possible for you. Napoleon Hill talks about this in "Think and Get Rich." "Anything your mind can conceive and believe, you can achieve," and it is very, very true. First you have to believe that you can do it. Habit number four: Highly successful people visualize success. So this is what I did.

Once I know this is my goal, once I take 100% responsibility that I can achieve it and believe I can do it, I envision success. So I cut out a page from a magazine that had the RX8 in it and put it on my vision board. You would look at it every day and visualize what it looks like, right? I would close my eyes and I could see inside the car, I could see that my hands were here, right? I can see the stick, right? I can see the whole car, I can see the interior. I can feel the leather seat.

And I would visualize it and visualize it and visualize it until it became so vivid in my mind that I could see it, smell it, feel it, right? I could feel this, I deserve it, this is what I could do. And I do it every day, visualize my success. That's habit number four: you must visualize your success. Habit number five, successful people act as if, so when I was out with my friends at the time and we'd see an RX8 drive by, I'd say, "Hey, that's my car." And they thought, "Again?" You're crazy, what are you talking about? "That's not your car." And I said, "That's my car." "No, you drive the Hatchback." "No, no, no, that's my car." Every time I see the RX8, I act like it.

I wasn't lying, I wasn't lying to anyone. It was conditioning me. He was acting as if the result had already been achieved. So I act and speak in a way that hears, you know what? It's mine, it's already mine. It's done, it's a done deal. So act as if. Look, most people wait until they see the result and then say, “Oh yeah, Dan,” they feel like they deserve it. No, first you have to believe that you deserve it before the result comes, it's the other way around. Habit number six: Successful people are willing to pay the price.

So it's one thing to dream and it's one thing to believe, but at the end of the day, you have to do something, right? You have to be willing to pay the price and, in this case, since it is simply a car, it is quite easy to calculate. So I found out exactly and precisely how much this car is going to cost, right? And I thought, "Okay, it's going to cost me this much down payment, it's going to cost me this much in monthly payment." Okay, so what I had to do was focus on generating enough income to pay that, and I was willing to pay the price.

So when my friends were going to pubs, when they were partying, when they were just wasting time, I was working. I was just working, day after day, long hours every day. No rest, no free time. I was just focused. because I was willing to pay the price. So one of the questions you have to ask yourself is what price are you willing to pay for success? What are you willing to give up? What are you willing to sacrifice? Because there is always a trade-off, always there is a trade-off. Habit number seven: Successful people feel fear and do it anyway.

Look, a lot of people think successful people don't have fears. Of course we have fears. Of course we have doubts. Of course sometimes we are afraid to make a decision. We are human beings. The difference is that we don't let fears stop us. We don't let the feat dictate what we are or what we won't do. We feel the fear, you feel the fear, but we do it anyway. I remember having to pick up the phone, having to call business owners. I had to cold call and get clients. Was he afraid? You bet. Was nervous? You bet.

Do I like those rejections? Of course not. Of course not, but I feel the fear and do it anyway. I do it anyway, I do it anyway. Just keep going, keep going and you'll keep going. Habit number eight: Successful people seek mentorship. You see, people who fail very often have a big ego and please hear me out. Your ego is not your friend. Your ego is not your friend. Your ego will destroy you. See, when I did it my way, right? I let my pride and ego stop me from seeking mentorship until I found my first mentor.

Now, that may or may not be the answer for everyone, I'm just telling you that that was the answer for me. Finding my mentor, finding that first mentor changed my life, changed my life, seeking mentorship. I do not have all the answers. I don't know everything. It is impossible for anyone to know everything and the more you learn, the more you realize how little you know. So my mentor was giving me the mindset and skills he needed to achieve my goals and buy that RX8. Does that mean I don't have failures? Of course I have failures.

But "Success is going from failure to failure" without losing enthusiasm, Winston Churchill. So habit number nine, successful people have enthusiasm. You'll notice, high-income people have a lot of energy. Low-income people have little energy. They can not do anything. They are not productive. They can't make things happen. They lack vitality, energy, right? The enthusiasm, the stamina to make things happen. So how are you going to achieve something if you don't do it? You don't approach anything with passion and enthusiasm, do you? You may not be the best at this right now, but if you are enthusiastic, believer and passionate, incredibly passionate about what you do, you will achieve it. "This happens.

So that is a very, very key habit that makes everything work, and that leads to the last habit and that is habit number 10. Successful people commit to constantly improving. You see, after doing all these things, I act like, I pay the price, I seek mentorship, I moved on and I finally got the car and I was very excited. I went to the dealership and at that point I had already test driven the car several times. I knew exactly what I was getting into and I walked in to the dealership and the car salesman told me that he had never sold a car so fast.

We did the paperwork. I took the car out of the dealership and the fascinating thing is that I thought and I got excited. It was great, right? And I was driving the car, right? right? Outside the parking lot, and you know how I felt? Peace. I felt like I had seen this, I had experienced this many, many times. I felt that, like, you know what? This is my car, because I visualized it many times. In fact, it was incredibly calm. That's how it's supposed to be and it's great. It's like deja vu, that kind of feeling because I've seen it in my mind so many times that I acted like it.

I knew it, I knew it's mine, and when it's mine, okay, it's mine. What's the problem, right? And then, I set myself the next goal, right? I want to get the next car. And I know, at that moment I thought the car was for me. I'm not interested in those things anymore. At that time, I thought I would buy the next car, the next car, the Mercedes, the Audi R8 and so on, and the Bentley and all that stuff, right? That's why successful people seek mentorship. Plus they never stop improving. It's always about being better, becoming a better version of yourself.

If you want to be healthier, what do you need to do? You'll study nutrition, you'll study fitness, right? If you want to be a good cook, you will learn recipes. You will learn from other chefs. You will brainstorm. Is no different. If you want to be successful, you must make it a subject you study. It has to be something you take seriously. It's something you put some effort into.
