How To Create A Recipe For Success.

Is this another weird story about how to become successful?

Probably Success is the absolute most frequent key search of all categories covering all segments of society. Who doesn’t want to have success? If you open up any site on the web or read any magazine covering whatever activity you want, success seems to be the common Easter egg we all are searching for.

All famous entrepreneurs in the world have been analyzed from all possible angles, as well as other authorities, all from the military niche to the religious field. The purpose has always been the same, the Secret Code For Success.

Does a “Success Code” exist?

If it existed, I strongly believe somebody had cracked the code a long time ago. However, I think there exists a recipe for success, and I will reveal that recipe in a moment.

But first, we need to view ourselves in the mirror and be absolutely honest with our friends in front of us. Are we talking about your true definition of success, or is your “success” something you believe your family, friends, and social environment would like to listen to as your success story?

It’s quite a simple but, at the same time, a complex question you need to form an opinion about. As we all are different with different ideas and goals in life, there will also be different answers to the question.

What Is Your Favorite Dish?

If you decide to go out for dinner with friends, besides the restaurant environment, it will always be a discussion about what kind of food to eat. Some people in the group prefer meat, other fish, and so on. That doesn’t mean that any food is better or less tasty than the other. There are just different preferences, or it could be that your personal preference that day is fish, even if you are known as the meat lover of the group.

That’s the way it is, and no one has the authority to judge that something is better than the other. Anyway, we used to develop a certain preference for a certain restaurant or a certain dish because that particular restaurant or dish hits our “weak” point, where we get a special feeling of satisfaction above all other alternatives available.

In my case, I have three things in life that I like very much to do. I am a passionate marathon runner, I like my laptop life giving me the necessary freedom, and I like cooking.

When I enter the kitchen, normally during the weekends, I see the kitchen as an empty canvas where I, as an artist, have to create a nice painting. Cooking, for me, is like art. I do not use recipe books, but I apply certain rules to get an acceptable creation at the end. In a few words, I would like to say that my cooking is very much based on love or,

Passion for what I am doing.

Passion Cannot Solve Everything.

In every speech about success, no one misses the passion part. It’s true, and it must be there. However, it would be very easy to achieve success if passion was the only needed ingredient. There is much more to be added to the recipe for success.

To describe those necessary ingredients, I will add two of my passions. Sounds strange? Well, here we go.

As mentioned in several of my previous posts, you need to have a very strong commitment to running marathons. I would say that the commitment must turn into a

Pledge.

The training must be correct, created by a professional coach, and you must stick to it. Follow-up and detailed monitoring of your training steps and progress are mandatory.

Building an online business, the one I am doing right now with the Six Figure Mentors needs exactly the same kind of commitment as the marathon training. Here we have,

Two different activities with two identical mindsets.

When training for marathon races, which is a long-term project, a lot of things will happen on your way toward the goal. You will get sick, maybe injured; some days, the motivation is on top, and other days it has all disappeared. The same happens with your online marketing business. Your training program and business plan must be the living documents that take you through the long and sometimes windy road.

In the same way, running a marathon race with only one month of training is impossible, the online business is not a “get-rich-over-night” activity. It’s a long-term project where money is not the driving part. The money will come automatically, the same way you will run your marathon race without problems. All will be directly reflected by how well you stuck to your plan.

The commitment to do what it takes is a must for marathon runners as well as for online entrepreneurs.

The Icing On The Cake.

The basic ingredients for a successful recipe are now in place:

Love & Passion

Commitment & Pledge

With these ingredients, you will never fail. Of course, salt and pepper have to be added to high-level cuisine.

The desert will almost always present itself, the sweet taste after a wonderful dinner. The desert will always be sweet and is called

Success.

The icing on the cake can vary and depends very much on your recipe for success, but you will always have something hidden as a true Entrepreneur Chef to save any situation.

This time and for this particular post, I had to take out what I found in my sleeve. For the last 24 hours, I have suffered severe technical problems and had very limited Internet access. Normally when doing my posts, I do some research on the web to enrich the content with certain data and statistics. As you can see, this post has almost no links, but I had to rely purely on my own knowledge and conviction.

It could be very easy to use this as an excuse for not publishing the post on the promised date. Can you imagine being invited to a dinner and, for whatever reason, no dinner will be served? As a true entrepreneur and passionate marathon runner, procrastination must be avoided by all means.

On your success journey, there will be so many situations that seem valid to procrastinate, and to make it easy, we just decide that

Procrastination is never a valid argument for a serious commitment.

There is a link I would like to recommend and which relates very much to what has been revealed here as a Basic Recipe. the Six Figure Mentors, where he talks about “Habit Creep: The Proven, Reasonable and Totally Unsexy Way to Become More Successful.” Take it as an avec after our meal. Bon Appetite!
