They’re all successful.

Learn about them.

Learn about their stories.

Learn about why they are the way they are.

What made them tick?

What made them different?

What made them successful?

It’s similar stories.

Similar upbringings.

Similar drives.

Similar ambitions.

They failed.

They had tough moments.

But they kept persisting.

They kept going.

They kept believing in the dream they had.

They didn’t let small things get in the way.

They let their work do the talking.

They let their actions speak louder than their words.

They did the work.

They showed up no matter what.


They never stopped working till they could tell their story.

Till they could tell their truth.

Till they could show the world their talent.

Do the same.

Success is within you.

It’s there.

But if you want it, it won’t be easy.

You have to fail.

You have to work.

You have to be relentless.

But that goal is there.

It’s up to you to decide if you want it.

First imagine your wildest dreams.

Then believe.

Then get to work.

While doing that, study the best.

Study those before you.

Study success.
