Why Hope Is NEVER A Good Strategy

Walking up and down all over the streets of New York City — whether you’re in midtown… Greenwich Village… or on the lower east side, the only thing you can think of is that it’s like walking through a GIANT shopping mall.

Over here there’s the luxury items like clothes and jewelry… down this end of the mall is luggage and sporting goods… and there’s even a section for coffee bars and cigars.

The most amazing this is, I see LOADS of new things each time I’m here — even though I’ve strolled down these same streets in some cases, thousands of times.

The point is, you can’t see what you’re not looking for, and this is a good metaphor NOT just for seeing what’s going on around you, landscape-wise, but it’s also a VERY accurate metaphor for success.

For example, one of the things I spoke briefly about at a seminar last week, was how I try to surround myself with people who are MORE successful than me, people who’ve either experienced more of life, or who have experienced more in business. This way, I’m always “looking up.”

I strongly suggest you do the same thing. Looking down only gets you thinking “down”, and it’s hard to climb the ladder while you’re looking down, isn’t it?

I do this intentionally because I’m purposely searching for something. I’m looking for greater insight into what successful people do, and how they do it. What kinds of subtle mindset views they have, which may be different to mine… what kinds of systems do they have in place in their businesses, and frankly, I’m looking to figure out how I can adapt these strategies and ideas to my business, my mindset, and my own life.

And when I DO get good ideas, believe me I implement them as fast as possible. See, money is attracted to speed, and since being decisive is one of the 17 key principles of success identified by Napoleon Hill, all these things fall into place at once, causing tremendous movement.

What are YOU looking for, or are you blindly hoping to “stumble” across success? If you’re not on a mission… if you’re not “looking” for something VERY specific, you’re not going to find it.

Because you really can’t see what you’re not ACTIVELY looking for — and that includes opportunity.

“HOPE” isn’t a good strategy.
