The Difference Between the Successful and the Unsuccessful

Updated: Dec 18, 2020





You may be shocked to find out that the difference between a successful person and an unsuccessful person is...

MINDSET⁠.


I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it, a positive mindset will completely alter your business! Here's why:

Unsuccessful people blame others for their failures⁠.

Successful people accept responsibility for their actions⁠.

Unsuccessful people give up when they don’t succeed at first⁠.

⁠Successful people commit to their success no matter what their circumstances⁠.


Unsuccessful people believe they've reached their limit and stop growing.

Successful people believe there is no limit and continue to learn and grow.


I once heard in a seminar the phrase, "Feel compliments as deeply as you feel insults." It seems to simple to alter the way you think, from positive to negative. And that change of your mindset will change your life.


So, how do you change your mindset? Once you start believing there's always more to learn, there's always more to experience, there's always room to improve, your mind will open up and start to build. As soon as you switch your mindset and believe you can achieve anything, you'll start to get excited about challenges rather than let them intimidate you. No matter the course, you'll work towards your goals. And even when you fail, because let's face it, we all will fail, you'll persist through no matter how difficult the adversity.


A lot of people talk about investments these days, but instead of investing money, invest in yourself. Invest in your growth, your health, your skin care, your knowledge, your roller-skating skills. Whatever it is that motivates you, invest your time and energy into it. That's the only way to achieve anything.


Failure is a milestone on the road to success. Say, you don't get the big client or the dream job at first try. If you stop trying after that, then guess what, your dreams have died. There really is no sugar coating it. But if you look at that failure and see it as a learning process, a motivation to persist on, you will see success. I guarantee it. Imagine all those Hollywood stars that came from nothing as a child and you hear them say, "I just kept trying, I never gave up, I never let the haters get me down." Have THAT kind of attitude and you can see your dreams become reality.


There's a saying that goes, "the only constant is change." You are ever-changing, ever adapting. The moment you stop believing you can learn, grow, and build, then you will. The key to keep persisting and finding success is your mindset. It's never too late to start your life!
