Rethinking Success and Adding Value
The chapter explores the concept of success, emphasizing that it should be defined by personal values, relationships, and making a positive impact. It concludes with a brief sponsor ad.
It’s wrong to focus on success if you want to be successful. Today, Rob shares his definition of success, what it means to be successful and what you need to focus on and achieve to get there. Success is made up of many different parts and in this episode of the Disruptive Entrepreneur, Rob details exactly how to get there.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You should not focus on being successful, you should focus on being valuable and useful because people don't care if you're successful, people don't care about your wins, people do care if you help them, they do care if you serve them, they do care if you're useful to them and they do care if you create value for them.
- Focusing on success attracts people who want to be successful but at no cost of work. Balance and repel the people who hustle and grind to be successful but don’t miss out on learning from them.
- If you make your definition of success, only the people who can relate specifically to that thing are going to relate and resonate with you. That’s why you should focus less on being successful but on progressing towards a worthy goal.
- Focus on profit, focus on sales, focus on marketing, focus on growth, focus on creating a great product and service that's useful to people and going out there and promoting it and selling it shamelessly consistently and you this is when you will be successful.
- Always market yourself. You should go out there and project and tell the world who you are and what you're offering or going to achieve. You should promise people to only give them the best of you and make it happen. Stop focusing on being successful and start focusing on achieving your goals.
- Set goals in your life and try to do everything in your capability to achieve them. Do not stop until you’ve achieved your goals and then go on to set bigger goals and overtime, people will start to notice your success.
- You have to work hard enough not to have to work hard because the problem with focusing on success is it’s selfish. The more value you add to others, the more value you will get in your own life, you will be wealthier, you will be more supported and people will want to help you.
