11 Success Principles You Can Master TODAY (Easy & Powerful!)
[0:00:00] The first principle of success, gentlemen,
is for you to have the courage to make up your own mind in a world that wants to make
it up for you, that wants to point you in the direction society wants to say, hey, go
do this, it’s popular.
You need to have the courage to say, you know what?
That’s not what I want to do.
I want to go down this path.
I want to blaze my own trail.
But, you’ve got to have the courage, gentlemen, to stick to your guns to be able to say, you
know what?
I know what I stand for.
I know what I want to achieve in life and I’m going to go in this direction.
In today’s video, gents, I’ve got eleven success principles that every young man needs
to hear.
[Music] So, have you ever really answered the question,
what do you want out of life?
Not what your parents want, not what your friends want, what do you truly want out of
this one life that you’ve got.
This is a difficult question.
I’m not saying you can get an answer right now, but you should sit down, you should think
about this with no distractions and actually think, okay, what do I want or really make
me happy?
Not just happiness, but makes you satisfied, something that you’re going to be content
going after day after day and doing and something that’s going to give purpose and meaning
to your life.
Next, you need to determine what is true.
A truth, this is something that you just accept, something that you believe without question.
The point of this principle is for you to be careful when you’re basing a series of
actions and decisions off of something that you assume to be a truth that you’ve actually
never questioned because it could be that you’re building everything on a foundation
which is set to fail.
All right, gentlemen.
So, I got to be honest, I stole all the success tips in today’s video from Ray Dalio.
He’s a billionaire.
He wrote this amazing book, Principles: Life and Work.
You want to go check it out, guys.
I’m going to be linking to it down in the description and it’s over at Audible, the
paid sponsor of today’s video.
I absolutely love Audible.
I’ve been a paid member for over a decade.
I’ve got about five hundred and fifty books probably on my phone.
What I love is I can learn and I can continue to educate myself with any device anywhere
in the world using Audible.
Now, there’s a wide range of different types of books out there.
If you’re looking for bestsellers, they’ve got you covered, motivation, mysteries, thrillers,
memoirs, and more.
Guys, Audible has the largest selection of audiobooks on the planet.
And, guys, Audible has made it even better with their Audible originals.

fitness programs.

The next success principle is you need to be radically open-minded especially to the
fact that you could be wrong.
We’re oftentimes over confident in our ability to make the right decision and it’s tough
to swallow your pride and to listen to other people.
You need to have the courage to let others challenge your decision-making process and
even challenge it yourself, try to poke holes in your own decision-making process so that
you can come to the right decision.
Now, this next success principle builds off that last one and that is for you to have
radical transparency.
And this is where you’re open with how you’re making the decisions that you are making.
You sharing the information the data or being very clear this is based off of a hunch my
experience my opinion.
When you can be radically transparent with the information not only to others, but to
yourself, all of a sudden you’re going to be able to go in there and make better decisions
which is going to lead to higher levels of success.
The next principle of success, keep your emotions in check.
So, the biggest threat to good decision-making, it’s the harmful emotions we naturally feel
as human beings when we’re put in a tough situation.
Anger, fear, frustration, all of these things when they take a hold of us, all of a sudden
our vision narrows.
The key point I want to make here is you need to be very careful when you’re making an
emotionally-driven decision.
Try to take a step back, breathe, get a better picture and if possible bring in other people
and be transparent with the information you have so that you can come to a better decision.
The next success principle, become a hyper realist.
A hyper realist looks around at the world and they understand what the situation is.
They accept reality for what it is.
The problem is that most people are living in La La Land.
You need to have a plan.
You need to be able to go out there and see, okay, this is the world as it is, it’s not
fair, it’s tough, and it’s something that’s going to be painful.
There’s also people out there that want to help you.
There are people out there that want to see you succeed that will support you if you ask
for them and if you put in the work.
[0:05:02] The next success principle, prioritize.
You can have anything you want in this life, but you can’t have everything.
What does that mean?
It means if you laser-focused and you know exactly what you want to go after, you’re
going to give up a lot of things.
You may spend twenty years going after that.
You gave up a lot of time and you’ve got to realize that there are only so many things
that you can go out there and get in your life before you run out of time.
But, you want to make sure you’re going after and you prioritize what is truly important
to you.

The next success principle, understand that people are wired very, very differently than
you are because we look at the world from our own point of view and we assume that other
people are like us that they think like us that they make logical decisions like us.
Believe me, when you get married or in a relationship, you’re going to find out half of the world’s
population thinks very, very differently.
And when it goes beyond that because most guys actually have different, they got different
values, they’ve got different truths that they accept.
And when you accept that reality, all of a sudden you’re able to put the right people
in the right positions.
You’re able to partner with people who have strengths where you have a weakness and this
is a great thing.
So, use this to your advantage that we are different and don’t hold that against people
that they just believe a different way than you do.
The next success principle, gentlemen, is to accept that pain is part of the process.
If you’ve ever been to the gym, you know it there and it supplies to other parts in
your life.
So, if you want to learn something new like a new language, you want to learn a new skill,
it’s going to be tough.
You’re going to fail, you’re going to go through the suck period, but this is learning,
gentlemen, this is growing.
And when you go through it, guys, this is when you’re going to start to succeed.
The next success principle is you need to have a process.
You need to have a step-by-step path that you consistently apply that you can measure
and that even on the tough days, the days that you don’t want to go through the process,
it’s there for you.
You don’t have to think, you put your head down and you get it done.
Now, Ray Dalio had a process.
His was step one, have a clear goal.
Step two, identifying don’t tolerate problems.
Step three, diagnose problems to get to the root causes.
Step four, design a plan.
Step five, push through to completion.
Now, gents, that process may not work for you, then find one that does.
I know for me, it was simply waking up at 5:00 AM.
You want to know how to do that?
Check out this video right here, How to Wake Up at 5:00 AM.
When I wake up at 5:00 AM, I have time think, I have time to have coffee, spend time with
my wife, actually process and get ready for the day.
