A 5 Year Old’s Recipe for Success
By Joyce Oladipo “The Business Growth Queen”
My sister five years old son, had tried playing soccer, basketball and netball but still find it difficult to get it going. To be honest, he wasn't good at all.
It did not concern me that he wasn't an athlete but what did concern me was that because he wasn’t good in any of these sports, he lost confidence in himself. He believed that he wasn't going to be good at any athletic activity and therefore didn't even want to try anything new.
Many adults do the same thing. They start their own business to become their own boss, when it doesn't work, they develop the universal belief that they are just not cut out to work for themselves and be successful. I’ve started 2 other business (Beauty consultant and Tutoring) before becoming the business growth expert. I couldn’t leverage these businesses very well but I was able to grow them to make money to pay my bills.
What have learnt over the years is that all successful people have failed many more times than unsuccessful people. The difference is that the successful person keeps trying while the unsuccessful person just gives up.
Bear in mind that I'm not talking about doing the same things that don't work over and over again and hoping that you get a different result. I'm talking about determining what you want, fixing what’s wrong, measuring your results, and trying new approaches until you reach your goal.
If you follow that simple formula, success will follow.
Yesterday, I took Samuel for an introductory Karate lesson. He was afraid and didn't want to go. But as the lesson progressed, he began to smile then something amazing happened after the training session was over...he ran to me with joy in his face, he actually discovered that he was good at it. I must say “he really was”. I could see his confidence grew and he was having so much fun.
This morning he put on his Karate uniform and wanted to know when he could go back to class.We can all learn something from the success secrets of a 5 year old boy.Love and Success
Love and Success,
