12 KEYS TO SUCCESS – You Have To Pay For It (10)

Now, this will be the last 3 keys to success. So key #10 is this, you have to pay for success. You will have to sacrifice if you want for success. So what is it that you are going to sacrifice for? Of course it will be your time and energy, sometimes even your money.

Like I always said, success never comes automatically. You will have to work hard, spend lots of time and effort on your plan, and take massive actions. Then only you will achieve what you wanted the most. The question now is how much are you willing to pay for success? If you want to make more money online, are you willing to spend all your time doing research, building website and market your site? If you want to lose weight, how much time are you willing to spend to go for exercise, and can you stand for not taking sweet and high calorie food?

Allow me to tell you an example of what is it meant by sacrifice and paying for success here. There is a model, a very beautiful, slim and sexy model. One day she won for the model competition. And so, a reporter asks her “What is your favorite food”. Then the model answer “oh, I like ice-cream very much”.

The report feels strange, because someone who likes to eat something sweet like ice-cream will not have a body as slim as the model. Then the reporter asks again “How many times did you eat each month?” And you know what did the model answer? She said “It’s been more than 10 years since I had my ice-cream”. So you see, this is sacrifice. You will have to pay for it if you desire for success.

Success will not happen instantly, just like building a house. Everything needs time to develop. And how
much effort you are going to put in will influence the time you require to build that house. If you wanted to own a more luxury car, then you will have to come up with more money to purchase that car. It is the price you will need to pay for it. You will need to pay for how much you want. This is sacrifice.

One day, if you saw your one of your friends becomes very rich, that is because your friend spends a lot of time and effort in making more money. Always, it is just the surface that you will see, what you see about your friend is that he is enjoying with all the money he earned. You will never see how much he had spent for his results. Maybe he works until late in the midnight everyday. You won’t know it because you can’t see it.

However, what you can be sure is that he did spend a lot of time and effort in it. This is just like a duck swimming in a pond. All you can see is that the duck can swim very fast on the water. But did you know that the duck uses a lot of energy on its legs to kick the water? This is what you can’t see, because its legs are hiding under the water. But the duck do really put a lot of effort in it.

There is no free lunch in this world; you will need to pay for everything that you wanted. Many people cannot stand it when they need to pay more for what they want. The moment you decided to be a successful person, you need to ask yourself this question, “Am I willing to sacrifice for my success?” If your answer is a no, then you did better prepare yourself before you take any actions toward success.

Are you willing to spend 3 hours of your time everyday to create wealth? Are you willing to jog for 1 hour every morning after you wake up? Are you willing to replace your movie time with reading the market analysis? These are the sacrifices, so are you willing to pay for it?

If you want to be rich today, you will need to exchange your time and effort in creating wealth. That’s it, as easy as it may sounds. Many people think that to be successful is a difficult thing in life, what they don’t really understand is that, to be successful is in fact something very easy, if you are willing to pay for it.

Therefore, always remember this; you will have to pay for success. Success is not a sprint, but a marathon; you will have to put in CONTINUOUS effort. Hence, keep this key in your life and let it drives you to success.
