With ads, and web sites telling you how much money you can make and how quickly you can make it, it’s hard not to get a little blinded by the lights. But success comes not from following a single success story or from simply dreaming big. Success comes when you are pursuing realistic goals. The keyword is ‘realistic’ – how can you know what is or is not realistic?


Take a lesson from one of the worlds most successful investors and richest people, Warren Buffet. Since the creation of his investment holdings company, annual returns have averaged around 20%. Now this may not sound like much with some investment funds advertising annual returns twice this rate. The key and clue as to why this is so significant is found in the fact that over the past 40 years less than a handful of investments have consistently produced this type of return.


There have always been success stories – those few who have made the big bucks. But is this really a good measure for your own business? It’s not following the one time success or the statistical fluke that delivers success. It’s the consistent application of tested strategies and principles that delivers long-term success.
There are few if any true shortcuts to success. Too many people find themselves caught in the search for the shortcut that they miss the very real path in front of them. Don’t be seduced by people who could care less if you succeed or not. Simply applying "success rule reverse" doing what others won’t do” can lead to spectacular progress.

Just like what’s true in investing, anytime there is an opportunity for a quick profit there’s also the opportunity for a huge loss. You run a real risk of losing big-time if you get too greedy, don’t do your homework, or don’t allow time for your experience to build. Instead, learn and follow proven methods for becoming truly unique in the eyes of your prospect.
