I am sure that every successful person at one point in their life or career would have been asked
what is the secret behind your success
Why this question?
You may ask or ponder in your mind.
This is quite simple.
People are naturally predisposed to find successful people attractive. Deep down in your mind, ask yourself, why are Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett extremely respected and have large followership of people?
Well, this is easy arithmetic, they are successful people with a large sum of money under their control.
Like George Clason and Napoleon Hill said in their respective books,
Richest Man in Babylon, and Think and Grow Rich and I paraphrase
Money is the earthly way of measuring success.
So, PUZZLE SOLVED!
I was up all night trying to crack my brain on the next interesting topic for my podcast. I stared at the ceiling for 10 minutes, hoping the mind-blowing topic will suddenly pop into my head. I must admit, it didn't. But the 10 minutes were well spent. Funny how this mind of ours works, like they say it works in mysterious ways. I was up staring at the ceiling looking for a topic, but my brain was totally thinking of something else. It felt like I wanted to travel back in time to solve a problem but I didn't know what year to go back to. My mind was working in such a way that probably pissed me off for that moment, all I wanted was a podcast topic but all I was getting was a question about SUCCESS AND THE SPICE BEHIND IT.
SINCE my mind decided to play a fast one on me, I picked up my phone, opened my notepad, and jot down the topic. I felt the topic SUCCESS AND ITS SPICE would be the new podcast topic but later on, I just decided to write about it instead.
As human beings on planet earth, I am more than certain that when the word success comes to mind coupled with the intro from this article, your thought will surely revolve around HAVING A LOT OF MONEY AND MAKING MORE.
My dear reader, I won't agree any less.
Success is based on having money and even having more of it but what many do not know yet is attaining success is not only centered around having money. You can have money to attain success but do not forget if you do not have money, you can still attain the success you seek. I can remember watching Ali Abdaal's Deep Dive video podcast on youtube where he interviewed MKHBD, one of the most successful YouTubers. MKHBD's answer to Ali Abdaal's question
what is the secret to your success?
MKHBD's answer: there is no way you will do something for 10 years and not be successful at it.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
It finally hit me
The secret spice behind success is simply CONSISTENCY. Staying consistent with what you love doing with the hope and mindset that someday you will gain the attention and laurels you deserve and seek.
Why are TESLA, AMAZON, and MICROSOFT one of the biggest companies in the world with huge market caps?
This is because their founders stayed consistent towards building the company into the next big thing.
20 years ago, Elon Musk sold PayPal for $1.5 billion to eBay, and as he said, his share from the buy-off was what he used to found his current companies TELSA AND SpaceX. This goes to prove my theory that consistency is the secret spice behind success and Elon Musk has proven that with his more than 20 years of a dream to build electric cars.
