Way back in 2007, I used to listen to this talk by Eric Thomas over and over again. It was the first time I really understood what it took to be successful.\u2028 Like he says, most people SAY they want to be successful, but they just kinda want it. The truth is, they\u2019d rather be on Instagram scrolling through pictures all day, commenting on FB posts all day, and doing other things that distract them from doing what they know they need to do to be successful.\u2028 Success is a commitment. It seldom happens by accident. It\u2019s a process that often goes on behind the scenes and out of sight. It requires a steady focus, a clear vision, and a willingness to fail forward.\u2028 And if you\u2019d rather party than stay home and work toward your goal, if you\u2019d rather go to bed early than stay up a few more hours and study, if you\u2019d rather have your nose all up in your phone than in a book, then you just KINDA want it. Let\u2019s just keep it real.\u2028 Tune into today's\xa0Quote of The Day episode and find out EXACTLY what it takes to be successful.
