Secrets to success? There are no *%#@ing secrets.
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009I find it interesting how many articles, books, and professional / personal development programs refer to their content as “secrets.” “We’ll unlock the secrets…” “You’ll discover the 5 secrets to…” The bottom line is there are no secrets. Just because you don’t currently know how to do something that will produce a result in your business or life does not mean it’s a secret. In fact, the contrary is true. Everything you need to know to accomplish just about any goal you can imagine is readily available information. You just need to make one good statement followed by 2 good questions to find out anything you need or want to know. So, let me tell you about this secret process known only to a handful of gazillionaires who I happened to be lucky enough to catch at a moment of weakness and they revealed them only to me on their deathbed! (Just kidding.) Here you go:
1. I’d like to be able to ____________________.
2. Who do you know who can help me do that?
3. Would you mind introducing us?
Fill in the blank with anything you want to be able to do or achieve, ask people who would probably know the people you need to meet, and follow-up on the introductions you get.
Shhhhhh. Don’t tell anybody. It’s a secret.
