^8 SECRETS FOR SUCCESS^ by RICHARD ST. JOHN

Richard St. John is a success analyst, author, and speaker. One day Richard was on his way to the TED conference in California when a girl on the plane asked him, “What really leads to success?” Even though he had achieved some success, he couldn’t explain how he did it. So he spent more than a decade researching the lesson of success and asked over 500 extraordinarily successful people in many fields that helped them succeed. After analyzing, sorting, and correlating millions of words of research, and building one of the most organized databases on the subject of success, he discovered The 8 Traits Successful People have in Common and wrote the bestseller 8 To Be Great.

8 Secrets for Success:-

1. PASSION

In the TEDtalk, he shares his analyzes on success. The first thing he mentioned in his 3 minutes talk is 'Passion'. (His words): Freeman Thomas says, "I'm driven by my passion". Carol Coletta says, "I would pay someone to do what I do." Do it for love, not for money. If you do it for love money comes anyway.



2. WORK

Everyone knows that if we want to achieve something we gotta have to work hard for it. (His Words): Rupert Murdoch said to me, "It's all hard work. Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun."

3. GOOD

Practice helps you improve skills and make you better at what you do. (His Words): Alex Garden says," To be successful put your nose down in something and get damn good at it." There is no magic. Its practice, practice, practice.

4. FOCUS

Focus can truly change everything. (His Words): Norman Jewison said, "I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing." You must have heard that Energy flows where the attention goes.

5. PUSH

There is no easy way to success. You have to step inside the circle of Struggle and Hardwork. (His Words): David Gallo says," Push yourself. Physically, mentally, you have gotta push, push, push."

6. SERVE

It's true that if serving is below you, Leadership is beyond you. (His Words): Sherwin Nuland says, "It was a privilege to serve as a doctor." You can't serve yourself; You've got to serve others something of value.

7. IDEAS

A good idea becomes a great idea when you let it out. (His Words): Bill Gates says," I had an idea: founding the first micro-computer software company."

8. PERSIST

Persistence means regularity. A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. (His Words): Joe Kraus says, "Persistence is the number one reason for our success." You gotta persist through failure.


So these are the real secrets of success that Richard St. John mentioned in TEDtalks.
