A *VERY* Important Success Lesson

Written by Jason Oman


Want to learn one ofrepparttar MOST important lessons I ever learned from hanging out with multi-millionaires and spending more than 11 years of my life studying success and wealth? Well, as a result of doing what I do for a living and from doing everything to create my best-selling book 'Conversations with Millionaires' I've been able to spend time with quite a few highly-successful entrepreneurs. In addition to that, I spent over 7 years of my life (prior to experiencing an real success for myself), searching forrepparttar 144778 elusive 'secret' to wealth and success... But, after meeting and hanging out with these wealthy millionaires and money-making experts, and from going through more than 237 books, programs, wealth seminars, and workshops I finally discovered thatrepparttar 144779 true secret boils down to this... If you want to become more successful,repparttar 144780 key is NOT necessarily to have everything figured out before you start going. Success can really be a lot more like rock climbing than planning a trip sometimes. You see, when you sit down to plan a trip like a family vacation or something, you may want to spendrepparttar 144781 time to plan out everything in advance. You may want to know exactly what roads to take to get wherever you're going and things like that. But, wealth and success can often be more like Rock Climbing than a family vacation. Because someone who is about to climb a rock may not even know 99% ofrepparttar 144782 path they'll take. They may just know that they need to head North (ie. "Up"). But, they won't know which path uprepparttar 144783 rock will get them torepparttar 144784 top. So, what they do is find a hand-hold that is 'good enough' to get started with and a place to put their foot that is 'good enough' to get started with. Then, from there, they figurerepparttar 144785 rest out as they go. Now that they're 'up-close and personal' withrepparttar 144786 journey, it's easier to see what next step makesrepparttar 144787 most sense. Of course, I'm not trying to take away fromrepparttar 144788 concepts like "good planning". But, what I've discovered can be just as, if not MORE important, is to just barrel down and take that first step. Just GET GOING! Because you can have a great plan and still not take any ofrepparttar 144789 steps. Obviously, that won't get you anywhere either. Or, you can simply takerepparttar 144790 first step and figure outrepparttar 144791 next step from THERE. And if you do it this way then at least you're a step further ahead than if you took no steps at all. Plus, fromrepparttar 144792 new perspective you have after taking that first step, it's often easier to figure out whatrepparttar 144793 next step is. What I'm saying is that getting onrepparttar 144794 road to wealth and success is sometimes more about doing whatever you can with whatever you ALREADY have and what you ALREADY know, than it is about waiting to get started because you may not have every step figured out yet. Does that make sense? Because doing THAT is how you learnrepparttar 144795 next thing you need to know most! The reality is that you know a lot more than you give yourself credit for. You already HAVE more than you realize. You're already capable of much, much, MUCH more than your current results reveal. This isn't about a PEP talk or anything, either. This is about putting your nose torepparttar 144796 grind stone and doingrepparttar 144797 ONE single thing ALL successful people do! What is it? It's simply taking ACTION! Taking a step forward. Success is nothing more than consistently taking steps forward. Then, over a period of time,repparttar 144798 results from those steps build upon themselves to equal success. (Andrepparttar 144799 time is usually faster than you would have thought.) I know - I know. You've heard that it's all about 'taking action' 50 Gazillion times before, right? But, then why aren't you doing MORE of it? Why are you still looking for some OTHER 'secret'? Why do you spend more time looking for some magical way to get 'beamed up' torepparttar 144800 big time, than you do takingrepparttar 144801 steps to GET torepparttar 144802 big time? Here's something I call... "The Fast Track To Success and Wealth". The secret is to start taking action NOW. Start taking steps forward NOW. Do something with whatever you ALREADY have, and do it NOW. Because when you do that you will turbo-chargerepparttar 144803 time it takes you to become more successful.
