Success In 3 Steps

The formula for success really isn’t as complicated as people think. People tend to assume that you need this algorithm to succeed; you need secrets and insights from the greatest minds, and because of that, they think it's too far-fetched. So far-fetched that it’s not even worth trying. Whether they use that as an excuse not to try or truly believe it is up to the individual.

SUCCESS IN 3 STEPS

570 Words | 2 Min Read

The formula for success really isn’t as complicated as people think. People tend to assume that you need this algorithm to succeed; you need secrets and insights from the greatest minds, and because of that, they think it's too far-fetched. So far-fetched that it’s not even worth trying. Whether they use that as an excuse not to try or truly believe it is up to the individual.

Success, however, is nothing more than a few well-known factors that we all have access to.

Here are the main three factors:

Luck

Luck plays a huge part in success, and those who say it doesn’t are in denial. There are pros and cons to this factor, with the pros being that we don’t have control over it and the cons being that we don’t have control over it. It’s sort of a flip of a coin because, well, you don’t know if the side it lands on will benefit you. However, there are ways to increase your luck in life slightly, and that is by taking more opportunities.

What’s meant by that is that you’ll find people who do nothing with their lives; they live in their parent’s basement, complaining about how lucky other people are and pitying their own lives, although they do nothing. Luck is both a game of chance and a game of increasing your chance.

So compared to the man stuck in his basement, you can go out more, do more things, and take on more opportunities because it's very rare that luck just falls into your lap, but you are much more likely for it to fall into your lap if you open all the windows in your house for it to come in.

Consistency

Consistency is another huge player in achieving success. Being consistent is one of the hardest things to do in many cases because it requires discipline, grit, and determination, and in many cases, it requires you to keep doing something for a long period of time before anything comes out positive.

Consistency requires belief in your mission and the path that you’re walking. It requires you to block out all of the external noise and focus on what matters to you regardless of what you’re told, and for that reason, being consistent is a treasured attribute for one to have. It’s loyalty to the highest degree.

Risk

Risk is the third factor that makes a successful person and is possibly the most important one because, without any risk, nothing will come out of it. If you play it safe and take the safe job, the safe option, then you don’t go outside your comfort zone, which means you don’t trigger the need to take action.

People are scared to take risks because risk prompts possible failure, and that is what holds people back. If that’s the case for you, then you have to redefine what failure means to you. Why is it considered such a bad thing? Why are you scared of it? What's the worst that can happen? If you can eliminate the reason you’re scared of taking risks, not only will you make your life much easier, but you will also become more fulfilled as you do the things that you know you should do and that you want to do with no regret or worry.

ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS:

One of these three things you can control now is taking risks; the other two will start to appear over time. Therefore, start to calculate the risks that you can take that will put you in a better place than you are now.

TAKEAWAYS:

The steps to success are endless but 3 of the main ones are:

  • Luck

  • Consistency

  • Risk
