Success = Yearly mindset, not monthly

If you want to succeed, read this

One of the problems of this generation is that it thinks with a very short time frame.
We spend our days chaining shorts, tiktoks, youtube content and everything goes very fast.

When you're 20, you want to conquer the world and it's hard not to want to have what others have when it's happening in front of you every time the sun rises.

So some people try to take the plunge. Some are successful. Some are not. And in this ultra competition, a lot of frustration. Some want it all right away. What good will it do them to be rich in ten years? They want to enjoy their youth and it is now that they have to be rich.

What they forget is that life is not a tiktok and that efforts are not counted in seconds but in years.

In your desire for success, I sincerely think that it is useless to measure your success only over a few months because a few months is often far from being enough to build anything.

I have seen talented friends, much more talented than me, who did not succeed just because they were not patient enough.

Of course some people make me lie and manage to hit the jackpot, either with the luck of a virality on a specific post, or with their talent that is far above average.

But if we're talking about the average human who wants to succeed, the vast majority won't make it in a few months.
It will take a learning curve in what you want to do first.
Then a curve where you start to master.
Then a curve of perfecting the mastery.

And these steps take years, not months.

I was looking at this video of Ali Abdaal and … if you spend the 40+ minutes (which are informative if you are an infopreneur), you will see a massive difference between year 1 and year 4.

In my first business, it took me years to really succeed and explode. I wasn’t the smartest guy in my business and this growth could have been quicker but… It took me years to finally start to make good money.

Having launch several business, it's a big battleroyal where the one that hits the jackpot is often the one that stands last. It's not necessarily the best but the bravest for sure.

The one who kept on making the effort while nothing was going on.

In success, you have to understand something that is extremely important, in every business, there is an inflection point. Everything seems to stand still until you reach it. And when you finally reach it, small, easy actions on a daily basis will have a big impact on your income.

For example, when you build an audience from scratch, the first few months are a disaster.
A lot of effort for almost no return.
But the more it goes on, the more reach you get.
And at some point, you have so much reach that almost everything you do has an echo. And it’s how some produce some very average content but have fantastic results with it. They earned this right by working a lot when nobody was watching their stuff.

In my first business, it took a long time to make a name for myself. But now, with many positive reviews, sales are often made before I even meet a customer. Each week, i have new customer who came cause of a good review. The heavy lifting has already been made by these years of work.

To all those in the trenches, I have three major pieces of advice:

- It takes time to succeed, work over years, not months, have a 5 year mindset.
If you just look at the sum of your efforts after a month, it is very possible that nothing will change. It is months of work that advance your skills.

- Offer the best in everything you do
Rach effort compounds with the next and if you offer the best of the best each time, they will accelerate your road to success

- Believe in yourself
I often say, if you don't believe in yourself, nobody will. There is a video that I find fascinating. It's the one of Mr. Beast who does a kind of time capsule. He talks about his future and you can feel his passion. This video came out when he didn't have a thousandth of his success today. But he was convinced that he would succeed.
You must be a little bit crazy. Don't doubt yourself. You are your first supporter.

But don't forget to track your performance in scientific ways. I see some people getting into patterns that don't work. It doesn't help. There are efforts that can be made for decades that will never move you forward.

TRACK YOUR EFFORTS.
I track it everyday.
And with enough data, you will be able to identify the 20% of your routine that gives you the 80% of your success.

There is one phrase that is becoming my favorite. "As long as you don't give up, you have unlimited ammunition."

There's a lot of hope in that phrase because it means that basically, you can always try and it's never too late.
I wish you the best of luck in your adventures.
