Successful Mindset

Most of the successful person out there are normally those who is willing to make more mistake. Successful people are willing to risk making mistake, they don’t take mistake personally as in front to their self worth, instead, use it primarily for learning.

Here is the ultimate success formula: Action -> Feedback -> Correction

When you take action in this world, most of the time you’ll get feedback based on the action you took. From the feedback, sometimes you need to take correction of your action. Then you take action again and do the same cycle again until you become better. It’s this simple to become success but not so many people will follow this step. People will be stopped by their own stories on the feedback and correction. “Oh.. I’m not good enough..“, “I’m a failure“, “I shouldn’t doing this“, etc.

Successful people understand this simple concept and keep taking action get feedback and do correction. They don’t really have the whole story around it, they just do it. Only your own BS stopping you from taking action.

Most people want things to go very right, everything line up perfectly before they take action. Otherwise they will say “I don’t think this is for me“, “Oh.. this is too hard“, etc. You have to understand that correction is natural, in your business, money, relationship, personal development. How many people notice that “two steps forwards, one step back” is natural.

Talking about perfection, perfectionist will actually have hard time to become successful. Perfection is actually a form of fear: fear of failure, fear of disapproval, even fear of success. Often perfectionist have feeling of unworthiness behind that. They’re trying to feel what they don’t feel they have, trying to feel perfect means they don’t feel good enough. Here is the issue why perfectionist stuff doesn’t work, if the source/person take action, they do something and the source is not good enough, then everything they do is not good enough. If you’re a perfectionist that always feel not good enough, then everything you do will also not good enough. Not only what you do is not good enough, but everyone /everything around you is also not good enough. You can’t win this way.

You’re gonna do a lot better making some mistake and correcting it than you’re wallowing in your mind freak. We’re often think too much without doing anything. People want everything lines up perfectly like ducks in rows before they’re taking action. Successful people do not wait for ducks to line up before they do anything. They do have different motto: “Get ready the best you can, You don’t have a lot of time, Take a shot, and then re-adjust your aiming”. If you have taken archery or shooting before, you’ll know, you can wait 6 hours before you shoot and when you shoot, you’ll miss. Is it better if you just take your best aiming, shoot and readjust? People are so afraid of failure, they don’t want to do anything, especially the big thing they really really want. Just go for it and adjust a long the way, you will realize there wont be a time where there is an absolutely perfect. There is always something up in the air before the ducks finally line up, if even the ducks will line up, it will be temporary only, it wont last long. It’s not worth waiting for.

We often heard people say “I’ll start my own business when I have the right capital“. Well, it’s better to start smaller, get in to the game, make mistake and learn it along the way, and grow from there, than wait until you get a right amount of capital, and have your first shoot and BLOW. Here are few others thing that we often hear in our life “I’ll start to do marketing once we have our brochure“, “We’ll start to have a family once we’re financially secure“.

So, what you want to do in your life that you’re waiting for the perfect situation? What is it that perfect duck line looks for you? and What is the chance it will happened based from your experience? What will happened if you just fire it NOW? Yes, you’ll make mistake, but you’ll make correction and improving it. Believe me, you’ll get so much further a head than you’re sitting and waiting for perfect situation.
