Have you ever noticed how highly successful entrepreneurs seem to attract success as if by magic, while others struggle as if the odds are stacked heavily against them?
What do you think is the key element that allows their almost effortless success?
Is it their background?
Well, a recent study of a group of successful entrepreneurs revealed that they all came from a range of different backgrounds, some from very poor backgrounds. Despite the different circumstances from where they started, they were still able to attract success. So, having a privilege background is no guarantee of success.
Is it their brain power?
Quite a few of them had very little formal education at a high level when they started out on their road to success.
Is it that they bought lots of personal development CDs and books?
Some of them had never even heard of goal setting!!
Is it the quality of the support they receive from friends and family?
No, some were discouraged by friends or family for trying to change their current circumstances.
Is it that they were loved more as children?
A few of them were orphans and had a pretty miserable childhood.
Is it that they dont watch TV or avoid reading the papers?
No, they read the newspapers, and watched television.
So, if none of these factors directly contributed to their success, how were these entrepreneurs all with different circumstances, able to achieve their dreams of creating wealth?
If you were to gather them all in a room and ask the question, What is the secret to your success?,the answers would be all different. But, if you looked a little closer at the answers, you would discover one key ingredient. It wouldnt be obvious at first, but it would be very evident.
And that key ingredient would be fear.
Fear is an important part of success, and its fear that keeps so many of us from reaching our goals, or fulfilling our dreams.
Learning how to conquer your fears is a very big part of attracting the success into your life that seems to have been eluding you. Its a key ingredient that entrepreneurs have to master on their path to success.
Given their varying backgrounds, entrepreneurs were pushed into action by the fear of not achieving their goals and the consequences of failure.
