It Takes Two

Walt Disney was the visionary, the man who took the risk, but his brother, Roy

Disney brought the dream to life.  Martin Luther King was the man with the

dream, but it was Ralph Abernathy, a man whose name has been long

forgotten, who stood up after Dr. King and told people what to do.  Bill Gates

was the WHY guy who imagined a PC on every desk, Bill Gates imagined a

world in which we would all be able to achieve our true potential.  But it was

Paul Allen, lurking in the shadows, who knew HOW to make it happen.

No matter how clear the vision, no matter how high the risk tolerance, a leader

is nothing with out the first person to stand-up to join.  For a movement to grow,

for an idea to spread and for a company to become something special...it takes

two. The dancer is WHY. The first follower is HOW.  When those two unite -

What does success mean to you? In your 'mind's eye', what does being

successful really look and feel like? Ask a hundred people and I'm sure you'll

get a hundred different answers.

For me, there are days when I feel like the wealthiest, most syccessful man in

the world, cozily snuggled close with my sweet love, all warm and toasty on a

cold winters day, listening to Billie Holiday, sipping hot chocolate just being

present with each other or languishing the day away, with my sweetness, on a

hidden tropical beach far from the madding crowd. Then there are days when

I'm out of bed and ready to make my next million before noon.

Whatever picture of success you may have or whatever your definition of being

truly rich may be, rest assured, you can achieve it. There are, however, several

important ingredients to success and achieving real, tangible wealth. You must

have the right mindset and motivation to achieve your goals but more

importantly you must believe in yourself and have a solid core and inner belief

system. This is paramount.

It is never too late to start achieving your dreams. The trick is to start.

The video you just viewed speaks exactly to the success mindset. It is THE

most important ingredient in the entire process of Success and Wealth.

Whatever your endeavour, whatever your career, this is the WAY!

Decide NOW to find your WHY and start on your path to Success and Authentic

Being.

Do You Know Why You Wrote Your Book? Will Your Book Inspire a

Does your book propel people to take an action because they know WHY they

do what they do? What about you? Do you know WHY you do what you do?

Why you wrote your book? If, you wrote your book just for the money, think

again.

Successful books change lives because readers resonate with the beliefs you

write about in your book; whether your book is fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or a

children’s book. Books such as, As a Man Thinketh, by James Allen and The

Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles continue to achieve wide

readership and acclaim because these authors knew WHY they wrote their

book.

Simon O. Sinek, a marketing consultant known for developing "The Golden

Circle," a model based on human decision-making explains in his video “How

Great Leaders Inspire Action,” the reason it is paramount that you know your

WHY. He is the author of Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone

to Take Action.

Since your book is a product and a business, “The Golden Circle” model will

apply to you.

Know your WHY!
