The Secret to my Success
If I were to name ONE thing that has been responsible for the majority of my success, it’s this:
I’m ALWAYS interested in learning more.
Over and over again, I find that learning ONE NEW THING can radically shift my plans, my direction, and my success.
If you’ve followed me for any significant length of time, you know how often I change direction, drop one plan and start something new. Every single time, the shift in direction has led to an increase in my success.
(And just for reference, I measure my success in terms of how many other people I help to reach their own success.)
Of course, it’s not just the QUANTITY of information you know, it’s the QUALITY of information. There are walking encyclopedias who experience very little success, yet there are virtual blank slates who seem to get everything they want.
This is why top experts like Dan Kennedy (in the marketing field) continually sell 5-figure training on the idea of getting just 1 new idea. For someone who has a business bringing in $1,000,000 per year, a 5% improvement is worth $50,000.
Another belief that helps me be open to learning is that I believe I can learn something from anyone, even if what I learn is just another way that will not work.
Thomas Edison was once quoted to say something that has eliminated at least 90% of the frustration I used to feel when things didn’t work out the way I wanted.
It was when a newspaper reporter asked him why he continued to work on developing the electric light bulb when he had failed thousands of times.
Edison said, “Sir, I have not failed at all. I have successfully found 10,000 ways that do not work.”
I’ve learned that I don’t have to meet with “failure” myself in order to learn something that will not work. I can learn from the “failures” of others.
Additionally, I’ve also found that many times when things don’t work out the way I planned, it’s because there’s something better to be found by going a different direction.
For all these reasons and more, I’m glad to know you’re a member of my website, since I continually strive to bring you quality information to help you become more and more successful.
I’ve recently been invited to participate in yet another teleseminar series, this time by Eric Johnson of the Law of Attraction Insider website. http://www.PowerKeysPub.com/links/LOAInsider.php (No longer available)
Joining me in this series are several notable celebrities, including Bob Doyle, Carol Tuttle, Christy Whitman, Ken Foster, Anisa Aven, Christopher Westra, and several others.
To be completely honest, I kind of dropped the ball on this one. Three of the teleseminars have already happened, with the next one taking place on Monday. However, Eric has made arrangements so you can get recordings of the prior teleseminars when you sign up for his priority notification list.

One of the great things about these teleseminar series is that you get a chance to hear a sample from a variety of experts, and when you find someone you resonate with, you can follow up with them and learn as much as you’d like.
The other great thing about many of these series is that when you’re on the call, you get to ask questions and find out what your favorite author thinks about a particular topic.
Although you have access to me in the members area, this is not the case with many of the other experts, since many of them put up barriers to prevent most people from reaching them.
For instance, have you tried to reach Bob Doyle any time these last few years? This could be your chance to ask him what he thinks about whatever is on your mind.
Anyways, I wanted to make sure you knew about this teleseminar series and invite you to participate. If you’re as passionate about learning as I am, I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of this.
