Success Leaves Clues…

Tony Robbins said, “Success leaves clues.”

This post is dedicated to the great Erika Hawxhurst.

Whatever you want to become successful at, I don’t care what it is, it is POSSIBLE. Do you know why? Because it’s been done before! If you want to become a great tennis player, there are other great ones out there. If you want to become a millionaire, there are many out there, as well. If you want to be the best student, there have been many successful students in history. “Success leaves clues.” This means that there is a lot of information out there, like books written by the great ones, articles on the Internet, you may even know some people who have done what you want to achieve. So read up…ask questions…seek out the successful people. Ask them what they’ve done, what tips they have for you and what mistakes they’ve learned from.

I learned how to teach tennis from the great Colleen Cosgrove and Judy Vogt, then I became Pro of the Year. I learned how to give a great motivational seminar from one of the top motivational speakers in the world, Dr. Rob Gilbert and other successful speakers/motivators, then I started giving seminars with Dr. Gilbert and now within the next 3 months, I will be speaking at MIT, Ferris State University, and several locations in Los Angeles and San Francisco. When you learn from the great ones, you learn what they have learned in a fraction of the time. AND you don’t have to do all the research yourself.

Here are some tips to seek out clues…

1. Seek out a teacher, coach, mentor; a manual, book or audio program; or an Internet resource to help you achieve one of your major goals.

2. Seek out someone who has already done what you want to do, and ask the person if you can interview him or her for half an hour on how you should best proceed.

3. Ask someone if you can shadow them for a day and watch them work. Or offer to be a volunteer, assistant, or intern for someone you think you can learn from.
