\"\"When the people looked at him they said, \u201cMan is he lucky!\u201d “Who is lucky?” \u00a0“Thomas Edison” was the response.\u00a0 Isn\u2019t that the typical response when people see someone succeed and become wealthy?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

People look at the likes of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Tiger Woods, Jim Carey and declare they are lucky. \u00a0Are they really lucky or is their something else?<\/span><\/p>\n

Their secret is \u201clittle by little.\u201d\u00a0 Take Thomas Edison for example.\u00a0 He tried again and again to create a light bulb that would stay lit longer than a few seconds.\u00a0 He tried more than 10,000 times.\u00a0 Day after day, little by little, he kept at it.\u00a0 He had a dream and was determined to achieve it no matter how long it took.\u00a0 The guy was relentless until…SUDDENLY.<\/span><\/p>\n

Suddenly in a dream during a catnap he found the answer to his dilemma.\u00a0 The dream revealed the secret he long sought after.\u00a0 To outsiders it looked like a stroke of luck, but to Mr. Edison it was the result of his little attempts, taken consistently, day after day that produced that sudden<\/em> moment, that moment of success.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not one of the people I mentioned above were lucky.\u00a0 They had dreams and were determined to reach them, no matter what the cost.\u00a0 History is littered with people who \u201cappeared\u201d to be lucky.\u00a0 To them it was hard work.\u00a0 To them it was trial and error, failure and success. \u00a0To them it was moments of defeat.\u00a0 They went up and down on their journey to success until they reached their \u201csuddenly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

To the casual observer their success was sudden.\u00a0 But if you study their lives, it was the consistent little things that made the big difference in the end.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you want to have success?\u00a0 If so, you must pay the price to do the little things, day after day to get the big results you long for.\u00a0 I had a dream of making over $100,000 a year.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t think it was possible for a high school graduate.\u00a0 Then one day, on a whim, I got into sales.\u00a0 I was scared and didn\u2019t know what I was doing and knew nothing about the industry I got into.\u00a0 However, I did little things consistently day after day.\u00a0 I called on people.\u00a0 I listened to cassette tapes.\u00a0 I called on more people.\u00a0 I read books.\u00a0 I listed to more tapes. \u00a0I learned by observing my boss. \u00a0Little by little and day by day, though frustrated at times, I never gave up.\u00a0 Within 5 years I went from a $24,000 annual income to over $100,000 a year!\u00a0 How did I do it? \u00a0Here is the formula for success:<\/span><\/p>\n

Little x Little = Suddenly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most people gloss over the little things<\/em> and thus miss the big moments<\/em>.\u00a0 They start and quit, never giving their dreams a chance to be realized.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let that be you.\u00a0 What is your dream?\u00a0 What is your goal?\u00a0 Whatever it is, start with doing the little things, consistently, day by day and before you know it you will experience your SUDDENLY!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
