So what goes on in Wes\\u2019s head? On this episode of Shaping Success with Wes Tankersley, we dive into Wes\\u2019s brain to get a taste of just that.\\xa0 Wes starts off by discussing the Hedonic Treadmill which according to Wikipedia, is the \\u201ctendency of humans to quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite major positive or negative events or life changes.\\u201d With this, he talks about 5 steps to building success using examples with his podcast:
1. Desire \\u2013 In Wes\\u2019s case, his desire is to help people become successful.\\xa0
2. Striving \\u2013 set as goal\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0to measure your success. His example is to strive for 100 views on his podcast.\\xa0
3. Obtained \\u2013 the goal is obtained.\\xa0 He reaches 100 views.
4.\\xa0 Enjoy the goal \\u2013 Take time to enjoy your success.
5. Adapt \\u2013 Set more goals. It\\u2019s important to build on that success by setting more goals to continue to get better.\\xa0 Don\\u2019t get complacent.\\xa0 The cycle will start again with another desire. Reevaluate.\\xa0 His example is to now get 200 views, then 300 views and so on.\\xa0
Wes talks about his journey to success to using podcasting to generate more business.\\xa0 Through podcasting, he realized his living passion was to help people. With every episode, people discover who he is and put their trust in him. He discovered his success story takes him further by finding like-minded people through his passion and forming relationships with them. With these relationships, he built a team to further help him climb the ladder to success. \\xa0
Wes takes us back to when he first started college out of high school. His parents told him that the secret to success is going to college. As Baby Boomers, it is what they have learned. He ended up flunking out, but 11 years later, he went back to college and got a Bachelor\\u2019s degree in Physical Education and Kinesiology and then went on to get his Masters in Education Technology. He did all this only reading one chapter in a text book.\\xa0
Nowadays, Wes has read more in the past 2 years than all his schooling. The books he reads now mean more than those textbooks. In school, people tell you what to read and how to think. Now he reads what fuels his soul. \\xa0
