How to Be Successful
This is a topic that many people avoid because it isn't the easiest to answer when someone comes up with the question:
"How do I become successful?"
or make the request:
"Teach Me How to Be Successful"
In this short tutorial, I will attempt to answer requests like these.
First, let's define what success is. One of the best definitions I've ever found comes from Earl Nightingale. I will reiterate it here...
"Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal."
So let's take this apart.

The only way to truly fail is to quit. If you are still working on your goal you have at least a measure of success. Look back at where you were a year ago. Has your knowledge or skills increased? If so then you are successful. Are you continuing to build upon your knowledge and skills? If so, you are successful. Making consistent sales is a goal that you will eventually achieve if you continue to work on your goal. Some hit their goal sooner than others. Compare yourself to no one but yourself. No one else has the same strengths, weaknesses, trials, troubles, successes or failures. You are unique. Enjoyed your tutorial.

Great tutorial Daniel. I am in a place where I try not to think about success anymore. I'm at the "just do it" stage and keeping "doing it" until the money comes in. I'm focusing purely on the journey - being persistent and consistent as much as possible. One day I will wake up with a ton of sales & realize hey all that effort has made me a success. Once again congrats on a great tutorial!

Well done on your post. It's well thought out and I agree with it all. It reminds me of the persistence quote which I read a lot:
----------------------------------
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge
