Today, we're going to talk about "The Key To Success"
And no, it's not about drinking coffee.
Stay tuned.
Welcome to Coffee with Markus!
Today, I want to talk to you about "The Key To Success"
Now yesterday in Coffee with Markus, we talked about the number one reason -
that stops people from getting what they want. And that is - "Lack of Focus".
If you haven't watched that episode, do it now, it will definitely help you.
In yesterday's episode, we concluded that the key to success is "Focus".
"Commit"
"Take Action"
And I want to talk about "taking action" today because let me ask you this.
How many times have you heared from somebody -
"Oh yeah, that's a great idea. We should do this."
And let's be honest, how many times did you say to yourself -
"I should do this"
See, an idea is "good", action is "better".
The idea is to "take action", and if it doesn't work "correct the action".
I personally have the philosophy to "fail fast". What does this mean - let me give you an example.
Right now, we're doing Coffee with Markus. So for 2018 here is what my focus is for the business.
We'll talk about trading another day.
But in the business my focus for 2018 is to fill live events.
Yes, I want to come to your town. I want to talk to you.
I want to be with you in the same room.
(Sorry. Technical problem coming right up)
I have, I don't know reading a book or watching a DVD?
Of course not, right?!
The same is with playing golf.
Can you learn how to play golf through reading a book? No!
You get a great foundation, but then you need somebody to show you how to do it.
And you need to practice.
So, that is my focus for this year. To fill live events.
So, talking about focus - absolutely! Am I committed to this - yes!
We already have 10 events planned for this year. So it's a very exciting year for us.
Now the question is, how do I fill the events? I don't know, I've never done it.
But here's my idea - I want you to get to know me. I want you to get you to like me.
Because then, I think that you will trust me and also show up right?
I mean come and visit me. I mean not here in Austin. I like to travel I'll come to your city.
No worries.
So talking about action. Get it done!
You see the beautiful thing is you don't have to plan the whole way.
Think about this: "A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step"
And that's what I'd like to do. I like to take that the first step.
And believe me. By doing so, sometimes I drive my team crazy.
Because yes, I'm the only thinking about the first step.
And then we'll figure out the other steps. Because when we face in the right direction -
all we need to do is keep walking, right?!
So action beats - we should and we could every time.
So now the question for me is - how do I get to, or how can I help you?
So that you'll get to know, like, and trust me?
And this is why I decided, you know what - this year I'm going to do more videos.
And I have had this idea already. I believe two years ago.
That I should do more videos, and I never got it done.
So here, how did I force myself to take action?
I'm committing to this show!
This why I said every day at 4 o'clock Central Time -
I'm coming on!
Live on camera!
And I produce a video!
So that you see what is going on in my head.
That you see how I, as a multi-millionaire think.
And for you to adopt that thinking.
And you see, this is what this Coffee with MarKus is for.
Yes, we will talk about trading.
Yes, we will talk about investing in real estate.
Yes, we will talk about running a business.
But he see most importantly, I want you to get the right mindset.
And this is what my goal is. Making sure that you have a focus.
What is your focus? What do you want to accomplish this year?
Do you want to make more money?
If so how?
Through trading? Then commit to it and say I'm gonna make it happen.
Now you don't have to plan all the way through, but -
Take Action!
Do something!
And this is what I encourage you to do right now.
I mean as soon as we wrap up this video, Do something! Take action!
And again the idea is to fail fast.
Take some action in the same way as I'm doing it here.
And you see it is not perfect. Yes, I stumble through the words.
I don't know how I look on camera I don't watch these episodes later on.
Because I just want to be here, present in the moment with you.
I want to show you what happens when you take action.
Because when you gain momentum.
And once you have momentum, it just keeps going.
See, who was it, who said this "how do you turn this massive flywheel"?
Help me out here. It was on one of the business books.
Think about it this way.
There's a huge, ginormous flywheel. How do you start turning it?
Well taking action first, you push it a little bit. And then a little bit more.
And in the beginning it is difficult. But once this flywheel is going and going -
All you need to do is to tap right. Just I keep tapping it and it will keep going.
So this is what I want you to do - right now, as we wrap up this video.
Think about something that you want to focus on this year.
Commit to doing it!
I mean just here! Write it in the comments. Say I commit to doing the following, and then -
I want you right now, for only 15 minutes, take action.
Set a timer!
Set a timer and do something towards your goal for 15 minutes.
And then go and crush it, this year!
Alright, if this was helpful "Like" this video and "Share" it with your friends -
who are coming to you all the time and say - we should do something or we could do something.
Show them this video! Encourage them to take action.
Have a great day, and I'll see you next time.
