Why You Don’t Need A Degree To Be Successful
School teaches us perfect GPAs means success.
Far from it...
High achievers are people who embody practical qualities that help them succeed in life, not just in in the classroom.
Maybe 2 decades ago but demand has changed. Read this to learn your next moves…
1. Life Is Not Fair:
There is one thing you’re in control of the effort YOU put in.
They can’t control everything around them, instead they work hard & don’t complain about it.
Keep a positive mental attitude & do the work.
2. Talent Doesn’t Matter:
The myth of talent being a “natural” is false! In reality, people who make it big just put in more time.
Believing that you don’t have the “talent” to achieve your goals is a limiting belief that stops you from working hard.
3. Nobody Is Going To Feed You:
There is no a silver platter at the end of the rainbow.
Sorry to tel you... no miracles here.
Believe in YOU as a STRONG individual to succeed. Life is what you make it.
If you want something, you have to HUSTLE.
4. You Will Fail Again & Again:
No matter how smart you are or how hard you work, failure will find you because is all part of the process.
Thomas Edison famously once said "I have not failed.
I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." And that's it find that 10,001 win.
5. Perfectionism Is Another Excuse:
You will NEVER be perfect!
That’s a fact & that's okay instead:
▸They don’t care about being perfect
▸They care about getting better Why?
▸They don't care for dopamine
▸They care for doing better every day.
6. Full Control Costs:
Even high achievers can’t control everything.
Instead, they do their best to avoid negativity, distractions & obstacles by eliminating them ASAP.
If you can take action to remedy the situation, why worry?
7. You Will Be Criticized:
It’s practically guaranteed!
By anyone how doesn't get you Family
— Will deter you Friends
— Will laugh at you Colleagues
— Will diss you Even partners
— May stop you.
To be criticized shows you’re taking a stand in life.
8. Get Your Hands Dirty:
High achievers make decisions even when they’re “scared”
The more uncomfortable, the higher the reward.
My advice — DREAM BIGGER!
Do the things you don’t like doing, but you’re capable of doing.
9. Use Growth Psychology:
A fixed mindset is... “believing your qualities are carved in stone,”
A growth mindset is...
“the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts.”
Leverage the latter: The Mind Matters.
10. You Need Deep Focus:
Focus is nothing more than eliminating distractions.
Modern life is chaos without cause.
“Focus is a function, first and foremost, of limiting the number of options you give yourself for procrastinating…
" Switch the phone.
Shut the door.
And go to work.
