Evidence of Successful People

I would like to share something with you that I wrote down at a workshop about a year ago, that I like to refer back to on a regular basis:

Success requires Action
Action requires Motivation
Motivation requires Belief
Belief requires Evidence

By the laws of reversibility, this is true the other way around: Evidence...creates Belief, which creates Motivation, which creates Action....and Action leads to Success!

With this in mind, if you are seeking to have success in some area in your life, then one important thing to address is Evidence!

So, say you are an entrepreneur, just starting out and you have not sold anything yet, had no success as yet and really have no evidence of success in your own life...as yet. There is a term in the industry - do you just "Fake it until you Make it"? Well, I would suggest a big resounding NO! That does not hold to being truthful, ethical, being genuine, or having integrity, and certainly does not sit well with me. And believe me, your customers or prospects will pick up on the sense that you are not being completely honest with them too.

If you are not at this time the creator of your own evidence, then where do you go to find the evidence that will create the belief in yourself and your company/products that will motivate you to take the necessary action that will inevitably lead to your success?

The easy answer to that question is...the people around you who are having success!

For entrepreneurs this can be by live or recorded calls, read great books, go to live conferences and events, call your advisor, or find someone to mentor you.

If you are an athlete wanting to succeed, then you surround yourself with other successful athlete's. If you are a musician wanting to do well in the industry, you seek out successful musicians and find out what they did to succeed. If you are an entrepreneur wanting to succeed in business, you find other successful entrepreneurs to mix with and brainstorm with and find out what they are doing to succeed.

They are your evidence of what is possible! You mix with them, learn their mindset, see the discipline they have, see the kind of action they take and the consistent way they do things. In associating with like-minded successful people, you also get to see that they are just regular people like you and I. And there is power in that for you - you truly are not very different to them! If they can do it...you can do it! And there is your evidence. You can do it...because you have seen it already done by someone just like you! You KNOW for a certainty that it is achievable...if you follow the same steps - mindset, action, discipline, consistency!

And after you follow these steps...and have your own success, then let that spur you on further - you become your own evidence, and you can go on to be that successful person who creates evidence to others around you of what truly is possible!

A leader is a person who provides vision for others. You become a part of the solution, not just in your own life, but in the lives of many!

So, what are you waiting for? Go out & be the Leader I know you can be!

Much Success to You!
