Success is a long game. There are no magic pills or get rich quick schemes that actually work. You don’t get to have your cake and eat it. You need to commit to your goals, ambitions and dreams and play the game out over the long run. Show up and keep showing, bring your best and never give up.
Your success can be calculated simply by multiplying your actions by the amount of time you apply them. Many give everything they’ve got for six months and give up exhausted and disillusioned wondering where their huge success is. Every truly successful people I’ve ever met or heard speaking will all tell you the same thing: success takes HARD WORK AND TIME.
You have to work hard; you get that right? But there are no shortcuts on time. You have to work hard for a long time. If you apply yourself to a high degree over a sustained period; that’s where you’ll find your success. Not today, not this week or this month or even this year but in the years that follow that and beyond.
Working hard is essential but so is playing the long game!
