Success Keys

I'm so blessed to be in the company of some very wealthy individuals on a regular basis. One of the most incredible things I've noticed is they all share common traits. First and most noticeable is their devotion. They all share strong religious faith as a common denominator. I don't think it's a coincidence that top wage earners have a strong relationship with the Lord. The old saying goes, "Dance with the one that brought you." Serving the Lord and others is a natural attractor, and professing your love for your Creator is far to uncommon an event. People are drawn to character, integrity, and the principles taught in faith.

The second thing I've noticed is successful people all have incredible people skills. Now you've noticed in the previous paragraph I said wage EARNERS. This doesn't apply nor exclude inherited money. I'm noting people who've risen from mediocrity to success. The consensus is the majority weren't born with the gift of people skills, they learned it.

That leads us to the third key to success. READ! Learn from other’s wisdom. There is no substitute for experience! Why not apply what others have learned and speed up the learning curve? Titans stand on the shoulders of others, expanding on wisdom passed down found hidden in books and audio material. You can harvest years of experience from other successful giants by cultivating the pages of their books.


The last shared trait is a servant attitude. To establish a financial empire that lasts, you need to care about your people. You reap what you sow. It's impossible to grow roses when you plant weeds.

God Bless

    Success comes before work only in the Dictionary.
    Success comes when opportunity and preparedness meet.
    Positive morality connotes a compelling desire for good to do rather than finding satisfaction in avoiding the obvious evils. It is not limited in scope to the spiritual life of a person. It applies equally well in every walk of life-in business, there social and there civic exposures.

    Thank you for you time.
