Success

Are you ready to be successful? Are you willing to be successful? Are you able to be successful? I'll bet you are ready and able but let's talk about willing. Are you willing to do whatever it takes to be more successful than you have ever been? I'm not talking about robbing a bank or creating a Ponzi Scheme. I'm talking about the willingness to work harder than you ever have to achieve what you never have. (That's good, I'm gonna have to copyright that one.)
Success isn't complicated. For most of us searching for that better tomorrow, ready and able are not the reasons we fail. It's the willing part that gets in our way.
Willing to turn the TV off and invest your time in reading a book that will educate you? Willing to get up earlier in the morning and start your day with some exercise? Willing to leave your friends behind if they are preventing you from reaching your goals? Willing to actually create a goal?? Yep that's right. Creating goals is work. Are you willing to do that or would you rather bounce around without any direction?
Let's simplify this even more. Are you willing to work? Success seldom comes to anyone who isn't willing to work. If I asked you "Do you want to be rich and famous?" you'd probably say "Yes."
If I asked you "Are you willing to work extremely hard in order to be rich and famous?"
"Well......."
That's what I thought.
We all want the success but few of us want the sweat and sacrifice that goes into it. The willingness to give up everything and anything that prevents you from reaching your goals is frightening but it's necessary. You can be ready and able but without willing you're going nowhere.
Life is not made up of the "Haves" and the "Have Nots"; life is made up of the "Wills" and the "Will Nots".
Remember this isn't new stuff. In fact if you were to tell me "Tommy, you're not saying anything new here." I'd say "Thanks! You're right."
The old stuff works. Our Grandparents knew it, our parents knew it and we should know it. Hard work is inevitable on the journey to success. Set your goals, know what you need to do and be willing to go to work.
