A Key To Success
One key to success is to find successful
people to emulate. Be careful, though, if you think you can ask
them for advice. People often don't really know why they succeed,
but they will give you as many explanations as you want. For
example, I saw a 100-year-old man explain that smoking a big
cigar every day was one of the secrets of his longevity. It would
be nice to know why he lived so long, but I'm pretty sure we
won't learn by asking him.
A Key To Success - Study It
The key, then, isn't in doing as they say,
but rather doing as they do. This is how to learn success from
the successful. Of course, you have to look closely and apply
a little brainpower to see what they are really doing that is
causing their success.
A wealthy real estate investor told me
once that he didn't believe in setting goals. Watching him and
listening to him, though, I came to realize that he knew just
where he expected to be with his projects in six months. This
is goal-setting - he just called the process something else.
You shouldn't stop listening to what successful
people have to say, but you should read between the lines. Listen
to their words for insight into how they think about things,
how they approach their challenges. Suppose a successful basketball
player only advises you to practice more, but he casually mentions
"I saw that going in," after a great shot. Its time
to start visualizing your shots going in.

A Key To Success - Model It
We won't always know what is causing a
person's success. Successful internet marketers promote their
websites by exchanging links, but when I first tried to exchange
links with other websites, the owners didn't respond to my emails.
Then I found a letter used by a successful internet marketer
to get links. It sounded silly to me. I wanted to change it,
but the first time I tried it, it worked.
The point is clear. It is more important
to do the right things than to understand why they are right.
To understand too is great, but at
first, it may be best to just copy many of the actions, attitudes
and approaches of someone who is succeeding. Model success, even
before you understand it.
Then, as you learn, you can drop those
parts that aren't contributing, and add elements of your own.
Suppose you model a successful parent, for example, and life
with your children is better. Does it matter if you know right
away which changes were the most effective.
Is it better to understand why what you
are doing works? Of course, but you may not ever understand why
some things work, and this is okay too. Better to have success
than to explain it, so find successful people and do what they
do, not what they say. That's a vital key to success.
