Overnight success seems to be happening to a lot
of other people all the time.
A new popstar arrives in a blaze of glory and is
an instant success.
A hotshot businessman or online marketer suddenly
appears, telling how they are raking in millions.
So how come you aren’t an overnight success?
Why are you still working so hard at your business,
your career or whatever else your personal view
of success maybe?
Well here’s the shocking truth about becoming
an overnight success….
It doesn’t happen overnight.
Take some time out and lookup some of the apparent
overnight success stories, and you’ll find a common
theme running along all of their stories.
Almost without exception they were all working hard,
exactly the same way you are, for some time before they
acheived “overnight success”.
Read or watch interviews with popstars who have suddenly
appeared and you’ll find they were playing small gigs,
knocking on talent agents doors, entering contests for
years before they were discovered.
The highflying business owner or “new internet marketing
guru” has a string of failures behind him or her
preceding that one big breakthrough which launched them
to guru status and the big earnings.
Dig even deeper and you’ll find one other thing these
success stories all have in common, they didn’t give
up.
Sure they suffered knockbacks, failures and losses
before they hit the bigtime and became known as an
overnight success, but they kept getting back up
and trying again.
So if you want to be the next “overnight success”
you may have to work at it for a while, but most
of all you’ll have to make sure you never give up.
