success is something that we all want isn't it but here's what we often Overlook success is not something you pursue it's something you attract by the person you become you see chasing success can lead you to frustration to exhaustion because the more you chase the more it seems to slip away but when you focus on becoming the kind of person who naturally attract success you don't have to chase it anymore success finds you so let me ask you something what kind of person are you becoming that's where it all begins you might be asking yourself
what does it mean to become a person who attracts success well it starts with developing your character refining your habits and sharpening your mindset success my friends is attracted to certain qualities discipline perseverance generosity Integrity it's attracted to people who add value to the world people who are constantly growing constantly improving it's attracted to people who are intentional with their lives people who have goals people who have a vision so let's talk about goals you can't attract success without clear goals you've got to have a destination in mind a lot of people make the mistake
of wandering through life without a clear Direction and they wonder why success seems elusive I'll tell you why success doesn't come to the wandering it comes to those who are clear about what they want and are willing to pay the price to get it now what is that price it's time effort discipline sacrifice but you have to start with that first step know what you want if I asked you right now what's your goal for the next 5 years could you answer me could you give me a clear specific and compelling answer because if you
can't then I can tell you right now you're not going to attract success you've got to be clear Clarity leads to action and action leads to results when you know what you want the path becomes clearer now don't get me wrong the path won't always be easy in fact it rarely is but you'll be moving in the right direction and that's what counts success comes to those who are willing to take cons consistent disciplined action in the direction of their goals even when the going gets tough and believe me it will get tough but here's
the secret tough times don't last tough people do that's why becoming a person who attracts success is so important you've got to become tougher wiser more resilient the bigger your goals the bigger the obstacles but the obstacles are not there to stop you they're there to make you stronger years ago I was broke I was 25 years old and I had nothing I mean nothing in the bank nothing in my pocket and not much hope for the future but something happened to me that changed the course of my life forever I met a mentor Mr
cha and Mr cha told me something that hit me like a ton of bricks he said Jim if you want things to change you have to change if you want things to get better you have to get better that was a revelation I had been waiting for my circumstances to change but what Mr cha taught me was that it wasn't about my circumstances it was about me I was the problem but I was also the solution if I wanted to attract success I had to become the kind of person that success would be attracted to
so I started working on myself I started reading books listening to seminars seeking out mentors doing whatever it took to improve my mindset my skills my habits and slowly but surely things started to change why because I was changing and that's the key my friends success is something you attract by the person you become when I changed the opportunities changed when I changed the people I met changed when I changed everything changed but it all started with me let's talk about habits because if you want to attract success you've got to cultivate the right habits
your habits determine your future you can have the best intentions in the world but if your habits are out of alignment with your goals you're going to struggle think about it if you want to be physically fit but you have the habit of eating junk food and skipping the gym are you going to get fit of course not the same is true for Success you can't expect to be successful if your habits don't align with SU success so what are your habits successful people have success habits they read they plan they take action they review
their progress they get up early they stay focused they are consistent and that's a big one consistency it's not about doing something great once in a while it's about doing the right things day in and day out success isn't built on occasional effort it's built on consistent effort and I'm telling you that's not easy it's easy to get excited for a day maybe a week but can you stay excited can you stay committed for months for years that's where the magic happens it's in the consistency but here's something else not only do you need the
right habits but you also need the right mindset your mindset is like the soil where everything else grows if your mindset is negative if it's full of Doubt fear or limiting beliefs it's going to be hard for you to attract success you got to believe that you can become the person who attracts success you got to believe that you're capable of achieving great things because if you don't believe it no one else will now don't get me wrong belief by itself isn't enough but belief is the foundation it's where everything starts you have to believe
that your life can be different that your future can be better than your past I'm sure you've heard the saying whether you think you you can or think you can't you're right it's true your mindset shapes your reality if you believe you're stuck you'll stay stuck but if you believe you can grow you will grow that's why becoming a person who attracts success starts with transforming your mindset so how do you do that you feed your mind with information you've got to be careful what you're letting into your mind because your mind is like a
sponge it absorbs everything around it if you're surrounding yourself with negative people with pessimism with fear guess what that's going to shape your thoughts but if you surround yourself with positive influences if you read books that inspire you if you spend time with people who challenge you to be better your mindset will shift it has to you'll start thinking differently and when you start thinking differently you'll start acting differently and when you start acting differently you'll start attracting different results Now relationships can be a big part of this the people you surround yourself with have
a massive influence on who you become if you're hanging around with people who are negative who don't have goals who are content with mediocrity it's going to be hard for you to attract success you've got to surround yourself with people who lift you up people who inspire you people who challenge you to grow people who are on a similar path of self-improvement there's an old saying show me your friends and I'll show you your future it's true you become like the people you spend the most time with so if you want to attract success take
a look at your circle who are you spending time with now I'm not saying you have to cut everyone out of your life but I am saying you need to be intentional about the people you allow to to influence you surround yourself with people who have high standards people who are going somewhere people who believe in your potential because those people will push you to be better and when you become better you attract better when I started working on myself I noticed something interesting the people around me started to change not because they were changing
but because I was changing some of the old friends I used to hang out with they weren't interested in what I was doing anymore they didn't want to read the books I was reading didn't want to talk about personal development success or big ideas and I I realized something not everyone is going to come with you on your journey to success some people will stay where they are and that's okay but you've got to be willing to let go of relationships that hold you back if you want to move forward you see every relationship is
like a force either pulling you up or dragging you down there's no middle ground so ask yourself are the people in my life pushing me toward my goals or are they pulling me away be honest with yourself if you're serious about becoming the person who attracts success you need to align your relationships with your Ambitions now I know that's not always easy sometimes it's painful but success requires sacrifice you can't hang on to everything and expect to move ahead when I started hanging out with my mentor Mr scha he introduced me to a whole new
group of people people who were achieving people who were successful and I'm telling you that CH that changed everything I saw how these people thought how they acted How They Carried themselves they were disciplined focused generous and optimistic they believed in abundance not scarcity and that kind of thinking it rubs off on you I started to think differently dream bigger and act with more purpose why because I was around people who were already living the kind of life I wanted to live so ask yourself who are you learning from who are you modeling your life
after if you want to attract success you need role models who are already successful success leaves Clues my friends you don't have to reinvent the wheel find people who have already achieved what you want to achieve and learn from them study their habits their mindset their routines success is predictable if you follow the right patterns that's what I did with Mr cha I followed his lead I listened to his advice and it changed the entire trajectory of my life let's talk about value if you want to attract success you need to become a person of
value success isn't attract to people who are just taking up space it's attracted to people who are adding value to the world and here's the key the more value you add the more success you will attract but what does it mean to add value it means solving problems it means helping others it means contributing more than you take successful people are problem solvers they find find ways to improve the world around them they bring Solutions not complaints they see opportunities where others see obstacles so ask yourself how can I add more value how can you
solve bigger problems how can you contribute more to your job to your business to your community when you become a person of value people will seek you out opportunities will knock on your door why because the world rewards those who give more than they take and remember this the size of your success is directly proportional to the size of the problems you solve if you solve small problems you'll have small success if you solve big problems you'll attract big success but here's something else to keep in mind becoming a person of value you isn't just
about solving external problems it's also about working on your inner self your character your integrity your ethics people who attract lasting success are people who live by a code of values they don't cut Corners they don't cheat they don't deceive they operate with Integrity why because trust is the foundation of all success if people can't trust you you won't get very far you might achieve some short shortterm gains but it won't last true success lasting success is built on trust so be someone people can trust here's what Mr cha told me he said Jim the
way you do anything is the way you do everything that means if you cut Corners in one area of your life it's going to spill over into other areas if you're dishonest in one aspect that dishonesty will seep into other parts of your life you can't compartmentalize your character so if you want to become a person who attracts success start by looking at the small things are you keeping your promises are you following through on your commitments are you doing your best even when no one is watching because it's in those small daily decisions that
your character is built and your character is what ultimately attracts or repels success now I want to talk about one of the most important qualities that attract success discipline without discipline you won't get very far discipline is the bridge between your goals and your achievements it's the ability to keep going when the initial excitement wears off it's the ability to stick to a plan to stay focused even when distraction come your way and I'm telling you there will always be distractions there will always be things trying to pull you off course but discipline is what
keeps you on track discipline is what separates the winners from the losers the successful from the unsuccessful most people give up when things get tough but those who attract success they keep going they have the discipline to do what needs to be done even when they don't feel like it they understand that success is not about feelings it's about principles it's about doing the right thing day in and day out whether you feel like it or not now discipline doesn't come naturally to most people it certainly didn't come naturally to me but here's the good
news discipline is like a muscle the more you practice it the stronger it gets you can build your discipline over time just like you build your physical strength in the gym it starts with small decisions maybe you wake up 30 minutes earlier than usual maybe you stick to your workout routine even when you'd rather stay in bed maybe you finish that project at work even though you're tired each time you make a disciplined decision you're strengthening your discipline muscle and over time it becomes easier but here's something else to remember discipline is about self-respect when
you discipline yourself to do the things you know you should do you're respecting yourself you're saying I'm worth the effort my goals are worth the effort and when you respect yourself others will respect you too that's that's another key to attracting success people are drawn to those who respect themselves who have high standards for their own behavior so if you want to attract success raise your standards expect more from yourself don't settle for mediocrity here's another powerful principle that will help you become the person who attracts success and that's patience you see success doesn't happen
overnight it's a process not an event and most people get frustrated because they want instant results but the truth is Success takes time it's like planting a seed you don't plant a seed today and expect a tree tomorrow you water it you nurture it you give it time to grow the same is true for your success you've got to be patient you've got to be willing to put in the work and Trust the process patience doesn't mean sitting around doing nothing it means continuing to work continuing to improve continuing to take action even when you
don't see immediate results it means understanding that every step you take is moving you closer to your goal even if the progress is slow too many people give up too soon because they are not patient enough to see the fruits of their labor but success belongs to those those who are willing to wait who are willing to stay the course who are willing to keep going patience my friends is a rare quality in today's world we live in a time where everything is instant instant communication instant gratification instant access to information but here's the thing
real success the kind that lasts isn't instant it's gradual it's built Brick by Brick over time time and the only way to see that success manifest is to be patient with the process there's an old saying haste makes waste when you rush through the process you miss the lessons you miss the growth and ultimately you miss the success but while patience is important it doesn't mean you sit back and wait for things to happen patience is about understanding that while you work the results will come in due time it's about trusting that your efforts will
compound That's The Power of compounding my friends the small things you do consistently over time create massive results just like planting that seed if you water it today and the next day and the day after that eventually it grows into a strong tree same principle applies to your success every effort every disciplined action every small Improvement it all adds up and that's why patience combined with consistency is a recipe for Success now while we're on the subject of patience let's talk about persistence because if patience is the willingness to wait persistence is the determination to
keep going no matter what you can't attract success without persistence life is going to test you you there will be setbacks there will be failures there will be moments when you question whether it's all worth it but I'm telling you I've learned persistence always pays off always the difference between those who succeed and those who don't is often just one thing persistence successful people aren't always the smartest or the most talented but they are often the most persistent they refuse to give up they refuse to be discouraged they keep going no matter how hard it
gets tell me are you willing to fail on your way to success are you willing to keep going even when things don't go as planned because I'll tell you right now if you're not willing to persist you won't attract success you've got to be resilient you've got to have grit you've got to be willing to pick yourself up every time you fall down success doesn't go to the person who never fails it goes to the person who refuses to stay down so when life knocks you down and it will get back up dust yourself off
and keep moving forward that's how you attract success now here's something else about persistence it's not just about working hard it's about working smart persistence without strategy is like running on a treadmill you're working hard but you're not getting anywhere you've got to be persistent with purpose you've got to have a plan a road map you've got to know where you're going and then adjust your course as needed sometimes when something isn't working it's not because you're not trying hard enough it's because you need to change your approach persistence doesn't mean doing the same thing
over and over again and expecting different results it means staying committed to your goal while being flexible in your approach that's another quality of people who attract success they are adaptable they are willing to change their strategy when the situation demands it they don't get stuck in one way of thinking they're open to new new ideas new approaches new ways of doing things and that's important because the world is constantly changing what worked yesterday may not work tomorrow so you got to be willing to evolve to grow to learn new skills to embrace New Opportunities
the more adaptable you are the more you'll attract success back when I was getting started in business I had this idea in my mind of how things should go I thought if I worked hard enough everything would fall into place but things didn't always go according to plan there were times when my strategy didn't work there were times when my business wasn't growing the way I wanted it to and I had two choices I could stubbornly keep doing the same thing or I could adapt and thank goodness I chose to adapt I started learning new
ways to Market new ways to connect with people new ways to manage my time and my resources and you know what that made all the difference success didn't come the way I originally imagined it it came because I was willing to change to adjust to adapt so ask yourself are you flexible enough to adapt when life throws you a curveball are you willing to change your approach when the old one isn't working because the truth is life rarely goes exactly according to plan there will always be unexpected challenges unforeseen circumstances but the people who attract
success are those who are prepared to adjust they don't let obstacles stop them they find a way around them they don't cling to Old strategies they Embrace new ones they stay focused on the goal but they're flexible in their approach now here's one of the most important pieces to attracting success the power of a positive attitude if you want to attract success you've got to maintain a positive outlook I'm not talking about wishful thinking or blind optimism I'm talking about a mindset that sees opportunities where others see problems I'm talking about a mindset that refuses
to be discouraged no matter how tough things get you see a positive attitude is like a magnet for Success when you're positive you attract positive people positive opportunities positive results but when you're negative you repel all those things you can't attract success with a negative attitude it's like trying to grow flowers in a garden Full Of Weeds a positive attitude doesn't mean you ignore reality it doesn't mean you pretend everything is perfect when it's not what it does mean is that you choose to focus on the solutions rather than the problems it means you look
for the lessons in every challenge it means you maintain hope even when things seem hopeless and I'm telling you that's a powerful place to be when you stay positive in the face of adversity you develop something even more valuable than success you develop character and character my friends is what ultimately sustains success because success without character is empty but success built on a foundation of strong character that's the kind of success that lasts so how do you cultivate a positive attitude you start by controlling what you focus on if you focus on the negative on
what's wrong on what you don't have you'll feel negative but if you focus on the positive on what's right on what you do have you'll feel positive it's that simple what you focus on expands so start training your mind to focus on the good start looking for the silver lining in every situation start being grateful because being grateful is the gateway to a positive attitude when you're grateful for what you have you open the door for more good things to to come into your life but if you're constantly complaining constantly focusing on what you lack
you close that door being grateful and positivity are magnets for Success here's a little exercise every day take a few minutes to write down three things you're grateful for it doesn't have to be anything big just three things that you appreciate about your life it could be your health your family your work the opportunities you have and here's what will happen over time as you train your mind to focus on the positive you'll start to see more and more things to be grateful for and the more grateful you are the more success you will attract
why because a grateful heart is a magnet for miracles being grateful creates a positive energy that draws more good things into your life now this is a critical component to becoming the person who attracts success personal responsibility if you want to attract success you've got to take 100% responsibility for your life no excuses no blaming others no playing the victim you see successful people take full ownership of their circumstances they understand that while they can't control everything that happens to them they can control how they respond and that's the key how you respond to Life's
challenges is what determines your success too many people go through life blaming their circumstances their upbringing the economy their boss their spouse anyone or anything but themselves but here's the truth as long as you're blaming something outside of yourself you're giving away your power when you take responsibility you take back your power you acknowledge that while you can't change the past you can shape your future and that's the mindset of someone who attracts success they don't wait for circumstances to change they change themselves they don't wait for someone else to make things better they make
things better taking responsibility is the Cornerstone of becoming the person who attracts success you see the moment you shift from blaming external factors to owning your decisions your attitude and your actions that's the moment you unlock your potential it's the moment you stop waiting for life to get easier or for the perfect opportunity to fall in your lap and you start creating the circumstances that lead to success because my friends life doesn't respond to wishful thinking life responds to action to determination to personal accountability now I want to be clear this isn't about beating yourself
up when things go wrong it's about owning the outcome learning from it and moving forward if you fail and you will fail from time to time don't look for someone or something to blame instead ask yourself what can I learn from this what could I have done differently how can I improve next time that's what personal responsibility looks like it's about seeing every setback as a lesson and using those lessons to grow stronger smarter and better prepared for the next challenge when I started my journey I made a lot of mistakes but I learned early
on that if I wanted to grow I couldn't afford to pass the blame and one time I remember I was struggling in my early business ventures and it was so tempting to point fingers at everything the market the economy even the people I was working with but then I had a Moment of clarity I realized that if I was going to get anywhere I had to own my results good or bad and once I did that everything changed I stopped waiting for circumstances to improve and I started improving myself that that shift in mindset made
all the difference here's the thing personal responsibility leads to personal empowerment the more responsibility you take for your life the more power you have to change it and that's where success is attracted when you're in control of your life your actions your future there's no power in blame but there's tremendous power in accountability so I'll ask you again how much responsibility are you willing to take for your success because that's going to determine how far you go but here's something else taking responsibility doesn't mean you do everything alone one of the biggest mistakes people make
is thinking that being successful means doing it all by yourself that's not the case you need people you need mentors you need a team you need a support system what taking responsibility means is that you are in charge of finding the right people building the right relationships and putting yourself in the right environments you have to seek out those connections that will help you grow you have to be responsible for surrounding yourself with the right influences and that brings me to another key point if you want want to attract success you need to be selective
about the people you allow into your life we talked earlier about the importance of your relationships but I want to emphasize this you have to be intentional about your associations show me the people you spend the most time with and I'll show you your future if you're surrounding yourself with negative small minds or toxic individuals it's going to be nearly impossible to attract success but if you surround yourself with positive ambitious forward-thinking people people who are striving for Success themselves you'll naturally start to rise to their level there's an old phrase I love iron sharpens
iron it means that when you spend time with people who are sharp who are motivated who are driven they make you sharper they challenge you to think bigger to raise your standards to step up your game that's why it's so important to be mindful of your circle success is not a solo Journey it's a journey where you need to be surrounded by people who inspire you who challenge you and who hold you accountable to your potential now here's another key point on attracting success contribution it might sound counterintuitive but if you want to attract success
you have to be focused on giving not just getting you see success isn't about what you can take from the world it's about what you can give the more you contribute the more value you bring to others the more success you will attract that's just how life works I'm sure you've heard this before you reap what you sow it's a principle as old as time if you sow generosity kindness and value you'll reap success abundance and fulfillment the people who attract the most success are the people who are constantly thinking how can I serve how
can I help how can I make a difference they're not focused on what they can get they're focused on what they can give and in giving they create an environment where success flows naturally to them here's an example think about the most successful businesses in the world what do they all have in common they solve problems they provide value they meet needs they're focused on giving the best possible service or product to their customers and because they're focused on giving they attract incredible success the same principle applies to your life if you want to attract
success focus on how you can add value to the lives of others when you do that you'll find that success starts chasing after you now you might be wondering how do I start contributing more how do I add value to the lives of others well it doesn't have to be anything Grand or dramatic it starts with small acts of kindness with showing up fully in your work with being a positive influence on those around you it's about looking for ways to serve in whatever capacity you can and here's the thing the more you give the
more you grow every time you contribute to someone else's life you grow in wisdom in experience and in character and that's what attracts success when you become a person of value success is drawn to you like a magnet let me share a little secret with you one of the greatest joys in life is to be of service to others there's something incredibly fulfilling about knowing that you've made a positive impact on someone's life that you've helped someone move closer to their goals or overcome a challenge That's What Gives Life Meaning and when your life is
filled with meaning and purpose success is just a natural byproduct it's not something you have to chase it's something that flows to you because you're living a life of contribution so becoming the person who attracts success is not about chasing after something outside of yourself it's about working on the inside developing the qualities the habits and the mindset set that naturally draw success into your life it's about taking responsibility being persistent staying positive and adding value when you focus on becoming that kind of person success will follow you won't have to chase it it will
find you
