Sucess

Usain Bolt the Jamaican former sprinter is considered the greatest sprinter of all time.
He won 9 gold medals in 3 olympics and had run less than 2 minutes on the track. He made $119 million in the 3 olympics. That is more than $1million for each second he ran. For those 2 minutes he ran, he had trained for years.

Success is indeed a process and it eludes most people because many are too preoccupied with the events while disregarding the process. Many don't care about what they are becoming in the process as long as they get the money hence end up doing the wrong things. Enjoy the process and focus on the step right in front of you and not the whole staircase.

Many have asked me how I came to this level. Well being disciplined and consistent are some of the things that have helped me. You have to do what you need to do even when you don't feel like doing it. Imagine if Usain Bolt only trained on days when he felt like training, we probably wouldn't have known him.

Jim John said "Success is a few simple disciplines practiced daily". Darren Hardy in his book "The Compound Effect" talks about how the small seemingly insignificant habits compound to either build us or break us. Those small things you do may look insignificant today, you may not seem like you are progressing but trust me they are compounding and one day they will pay off. Like I always say "Progress is progress even when it is only visible to you alone so don't be ashamed to take that small step
An African proverb says "If you want to move mountains tomorrow, you must start by removing stones today." Yes Rome was not built in a day, but everyday, a brick was laid. Keep laying those bricks.

Its saddening how people try to avoid the process and rush for quick success not knowing that the process is actually more important than the actual results. Pit Bull said "We are here for a marathon not a sprint. It's short steps, long vision". When you focus on the process or the steps, you will be amazed at how far you would have moved when you look back. As long as you are patient and persistent, it will be hard for success to elude you. Lack of patience is the worst enemy of ambition.

One good thing about starting and focusing on the process is that it opens up many other opportunities. Like Lao Tzu said "When the student is ready, the teacher appears." Many of us have missed Opportunities that would have changed our lives because we think the process is long and hence have ended up being scammed by the get rich schemes. Understand that everything great needs to be built and that free cheese is only found in a mouse trap.

Stop waiting for someone to walk for through the process of success for you while you just get the reward. There is no wisdom or personal growth gained in a journey that someone does for you. The journey is yours so start that process.Napoleon Hill said "Success is good at any age but the earlier you have it, the longer you will enjoy it".
