Effortless Success?
I’m sure you’ve seen the effortless success ads before. They range from “Hi my name is John Smith and I make $43,332.34 online using my proven methods. It only requires an HOUR a week and you can be well on your way. Click here to buy my product” (blah, blah, blah, blah, blah).
I’ve made a video on this question, “How bad do you want success” Check it out here…
I’ve thought about this and I am telling you I WANT IT! I want it so bad that I am willing to give up the things/people that use to occupy my time. You take a look around you. THINK about the 5 closest people you hang around. Take an average of their income and that’s how much money you will be making in 5 years.
If you want to increase your income, start hanging around people who are successful. If you want to make 100,000 a year, start talking to people who ALREADY make 100,000 a year. It does no good to talk to someone who makes 30,000 a year about an idea that you think will make you 100,000 a year. They don’t know if it will, so don’t do it.
I want success, I wake up each morning and strive for it. Don’t think it’s going to come overnight. Because it isn’t. It’s HARD, persistent work that gets you there.
If you are in network marketing, GO to your weekly meetings. They are there for a reason (to help motivate you). I truly believe once your MIND is made up that you are going to be successful, there is NOTHING that can stop you. You must take action and start developing plans to achieve your goals.
Here’s a quote I’ve come up with on success, ”Success is not measured by how much money you make, but rather by how much you have helped the other person out”
I have to run my friends. I’m about to get on a conference call with a business partner and start CRANKING up our income for 2010 
Have a great weekend – Ryan

Excellent message here Ryan, you are absolutely correct about hanging around people who are successful. You are the average of the 5 closest people to you.
This is a direct result of ‘emotional contagion’, which according to Sigal G. Barsade: “Emotional contagion is a process in which a person or group influences the emotions or behavior of another person or group through the conscious or unconscious induction of emotion states and behavioral attitudes”.
If you want success, you have to create the Environment that supports it. Jim Bunch said success is 10% skill set, 40% mind set, and 50% environment. More often we are focusing on increasing our skills and working on our mind set, but forget to change our environment! I personally think that when all three are present, effortless success IS possible.
Love the quote in the end:
”Success is not measured by how much money you make, but rather by how much you have helped the other person out”
Keep up the good work my friend
Peace & Blessings,

Andre,
Thank you for your kind words sir.
I do agree AFTER those 3 things are in place that you could have effortless success. The reason for that is because you are already successful and you KNOW what works to be successful. Therefore, you don’t have to spend as much time on being successful because you’ve already surrounded yourself in an environment that is successful.
Looking forward to seeing more your stuff my friend. Keep on shining my friend!

I needed to hear this message.
I used 3 words to guide my everyday habits. And one of them was ACTION! I have been pretty happy with my activities but now I need to step it up a bit. This video was a GREAT MOTIVATOR!
ps. I love all your background on your vids. They are always different.
Keep sharing your wealth & Wisdom.
Thanks for all that you do Ryan =)
Love And Blessings

I agree Ryan ACTION has to take place before anything happens.
When I use to play tennis, I always wanted to play against people better than me so I would get better and it worked. Same as business we hang around people that are successful and we’re successful.
Keep up the great video’s!

Great Message, Ryan. Not only is your income determined by those you spend time with, but also you mindset. So glad I spend time with people like you, buddy. You are a great motivator

Ryan,
It’s so refreshing to see people tell it like it is. There’s no easy cure, no silver bullet. Hard work and dedication. You are asking the right question. How bad do you want success?
And what are you doing to make it happen?
Keep fighting the good fight and doing what you do.
