The Secret to Success

The Secret to Success

From my weekly radio show, Business in Motion, I have interviewed over 400 business leaders.

I keep searching for simple answers. One of the questions that I often pose is, “What is the secret to success?”

The most common answer that I hear is, “The secret to success is doing little things consistently well over time.”

That answer might seem trite to you but I believe it is powerful.

Too many people are looking for a magic bullet, lottery ticket or secret pill. The secret to success is going for the long run.

The secret to success is doing little things consistently well over time. All the “overnight success stories” have been working at it for 10 to 20 years. Simple things, persistence and time are the secret.

It took Bill Gates 20 years to become King of the World.

If you want to achieve success - do little things consistenly well over time. Sweat the small stuff!
