What’s the #1 Success Secret?

Are You Smarter than a Harvard Grad? 

Thousands’ of Harvard Graduates Get This Question Wrong Every Year!

Here’s the question…..

“What’s the absolute 1st step you must take
to insure that you will get what you really
want from your life?”

Think about it.  I’m not just talking just about health and fitness but also financial wealth, great relationships, lifestyle, spiritual wealth, and happiness?

If You Know the Answer Write It Down!

97% of Harvard Graduates Blow this question every year!  

Here’s Why!!   Harvard doesn’t teach it.  In fact you’d won’t find this in the course catalog for any college and your parents and friends probably don’t know the answer either.  Go ask them!   Maybe its just too simple:

One Amazingly Simple Step!!!

Studies show that 3% of Harvard graduates took one simple step …… that the other 97% didn’t take ….. and because of this they not only made more money than the 97% combined but they lived happier, healthier, more successful lives both personally and professionally. Note:  These numbers are from a study of tens of thousands of Harvard graduates back in the 60″s.   Its been repeated a couple of times since with similar results.

The One Amazingly Simple Step that really successful people take…. is to write and plan their goals and their lives in detail on paper…… then they work their plan.  And when I say detail – I mean every detail.   They wrote down a plan for every aspect of their lives and then they went after it.  Step by step by step!!!  

The act of writing is a key trigger that launches the MBA process!

Here’s My Second Question for You!

Are you working your own life plan
or someone else’s plan for your life?

If you’re not getting the results you want from life… it’s probably because you’ve allowed someone else to design your life plan.  Your parents, your spouse, your boss, the government, even your friends will be happy to plan your life for you. But that’s not the fast track to success – if anything its the slow boat to mediocrity.

Success is a do it to yourself proposition that starts by writing down your goals and designing the life you want and deserve and then taking significant action to achieve it. That’s the essence of MBA – Mind-Body in Action. 

You’ve probably seen the news stories about multimillion dollar lottery winners who spend all their winnings in 4 or 5 years or the university study that suggested that if all the money in the world were taken from rich and poor alike and then everyone in the world given an equal share – that in 18 months, 274 days and 9 hours – the rich would be rich again and the poor would be poor again.

Its not about the money – its that the poor never had a plan to have money in the first place and once they got it – they never had a plan to keep it. Remember the Harvard grads – after 20 years the 3% group had made more money than the all the rest combined.  Remember, the first step they took was to write down their goals and objectives and design a plan to achieve those.  That’s the first key step in the MBA process and you can do it simply by picking up pen and paper.
