Ha Ha Ha! Why Everything You’ve Been Told About Success is a Lie
Think you know success? Think again!
The Myth of Hard Work Equals Success
People always say, “Just work harder, and you’ll make it.” But it’s not that simple.
Take Thomas Edison, for example. He didn’t just work harder; he worked smarter, and even then, he failed many times.
Success isn’t what you’ve been told — here’s the truth!
Did you see my recent video:
Success Doesn’t Happen Overnight
That’s the winners, the people at the top. That effort, though, we don’t see.
Then think of those, such as Colonel Sanders, who began KFC when he was in his 60s. Patience is key.
The Focus on Money is Overrated
Some say, “Money is everything.” But ask anyone who’s lost their way in the chase for it.
Success isn’t just about having cash. It’s about doing what you love and finding balance.
Failure is Not the End
Everyone says you have to avoid failure. But failure is actually a stepping stone.
Look at Michael Jordan — he missed over 9,000 shots in his career. Yet, he’s known as one of the greatest basketball players.
Your Path is Unique
There’s no one-size-fits-all formula for success.
Whether it’s building a career, starting a business, or finding happiness — your path will look different from anyone else’s. And that’s okay.
Success Requires Action, Not Just Dreams
It would be considered common knowledge that we should “dream big.” To dream without doing is nothing.
If you imagine a runner dreaming about winning a race but never practising, you should get a sense of what makes an athlete great. You get there by action and dreaming is the first step.
You Don’t Have to Be Perfect
People are chasing perfection, believing that’s how you achieve success.
Yet done is better than being perfect. If one of these startups tested a fake product, improving through iteration, the question is easy: Just ask them.
Conclusion: The Truth About Success
Success is messy. It’s all ups and downs.
You don’t have to follow a straight path. It’s about being honest with yourself, learning from your mistakes and not giving up.
