How Long Does it Take to Succeed?

When I scroll through social media, I’m bombarded with posts that say things like…

“Just do this and you’ll make $15k a month” 

  or

 “This is how I got 100 clients in one day” 

  or 

“The quickest way to crush the competition is to...”

The videos and phrases are captivating. 

Who doesn’t want instant success? I would love that! 

However, there is a huge problem… 99% of the time success does not come overnight! 

I’d say it doesn’t even come over a period of a year! 

Success takes intentional strategy, never-ending perseverance and time. 

Ask any professional athlete. 

They didn’t get there overnight. 

Ask any CEO. 

They didn’t get there overnight. 

Ask any successful, empty nester parent. 

They didn’t get there overnight. 

Success will very rarely come instantly, like winning the lottery. 

Instead, success will almost always come when you commit to an intentional strategy of habits, actions and implementation… combined with perseverance that never gives up…and then repeating those things over and over again, over time!

As an encouragement to us all, just make sure your goals and actions are pointed in the right direction and then keep going! Eventually, you’ll succeed! 

The question is then… what goals and actions are you pursuing each day?
