Key Concepts: Success, Wrong Target for Success, Who We Become, Personal Development, Mark Fritz, Getting More Done

Everyone would like to achieve success, and many are on the constant search for the shortcut to success.

In fact, all over the Internet you can find people promising you the sun, the moon and the stars of success (and that you can have it fast!).

Many people have invested large sums of money in these promises and haven’t achieved the success they want…but WHY?  The “Number One Problem” for many people in achieving success is that they have the "Wrong Target."  Success is not the right target.

WHAT IS THE RIGHT TARGET?

“WHO WE BECOME” is the right target.  Success is the result we achieve based on who we become. 

In fact, “who we become” drives a success that we can be proud of, a success that makes a difference in the world, and a success that drives the legacy we would like to be behind.

Ask any successful person who has achieved long-term success, and they will say that it all started with their own “personal development”.  The more they would grow, the more opportunities would come their way.  The level of success they achieved has been equal to the size of the person they have become.

Again, the target is not success, but “WHO WE BECOME”. 

WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE IN WHO YOU BECOME?

Charles ''Tremendous'' Jones said “You will be the same person in five as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.”  

“WHO WE BECOME” is driven by how we leverage the life experiences of others to grow faster.  We cannot experience life fast enough on our own, so we need to learn from others (the people we meet, the books we read, the video we watch, and the audio we listen to). 

Remember, the size of your “personal development actions” (WHO YOU BECOME) drives your “success” you want (WHAT YOU ACHIEVE).
