It may surprise you...but how successful you become isn't necessarily relevant to where you end up!
What I mean is...it's not the achievement of your goal that makes you into a successful person...it's the opportunities that come your way BECAUSE you are aiming for it!
Take me, for example.
I only got an opportunity to become a speaker because I went to a seminar that didn't really have a whole lot to do with what I was doing online at the time.
But...through a series of events that arose from that...I have been able to literally force myself to speak in public, do teleclasses...and have the self-confidence to run my Mentor Program during the summer.
But...none of this would have happened if I wasn't trying to learn more about MYSELF as well as the business I had chosen to be in!
And...in a funny sort of roundabout way...what I learned from doing the stuff that wasn't necessarily what I would have imagined...has resulted in helping me move in the direction that I wanted to go all along!
And...all because I was pushing my boundaries and making more of an effort than I had ever done before.
A lot of people look at things not going in the way they imagined as a negative thing...when in fact, it could be the BEST thing that could ever of happened to them...which, in turn, contributes more to their success than they realize.
So...don't worry if your path to success doesn't seem as 'straight' as you would like.
It's usually the little detours that will have the biggest impact of your future!
