Today, a special hats-off and thanks to Jim Francis, who has formulated what he calls Success Requires the 4 Ds. I'll just basically paraphrase what he says, and then discuss it a bit.
Dream-you have to dream. Dream that you're worth more than a 9-to-5 job. Dare-risk a little... a little cash, a little time. Do-once you know the path, take a step. Take action. Don't wait. Waiting costs you money. Determined-lastly, you have to be determined to succeed. It's not a matter of fortune, or luck, or chance - it's a matter of following design. (The 5th "D".)
You will have success.
You have no choice but to live your dreams. No choice but to win.
Thank you, Jim Francis-you're definitely our kind of thinker.
Dream. Dream, folks, this is important in this philosophy. What is it you want to do? What is it you're doing? How do you help? What are the reasons you're doing it? You're worth more. If others can do it, you can do it.
Dare. Of course, you're willing-you already know that there's a cost to success, and you can't avoid it if you want to be successful, if you want to achieve your dreams. It's up to you-you know, "If it's to be it's up to me," as the saying goes. So it's up to you to do that.
However, the required investment can be so tiny and so puny, due to the Law of Leverage, due to the Law of Compounding Effects over time, of compounding interest.
Do-once you know, you must move. Waiting costs you money. Now, most people who are afflicted with procrastination are under the delusion they're being wise. Actually, they're immobilized by fear; they're afraid they'll make the wrong decision.
But even if a person is to make the wrong decision, first of all, if you just figured out that you made a bad decision, well, why would that necessarily mean you made a "wrong" decision?
But even if you do make a wrong decision, then you get feedback more promptly, so you can correct and move further toward your goal.
For instance, when you begin trading, maybe your first time you might not be successful. Your second time, maybe you didn't find the right system-but there are so many people out there making a good go of trading, and Forex trading is quite the fashion. So you can do it, too.
The thing is to pace yourself when you're going in. I don't mean to masquerade your procrastination as good sense just so you don't lose money by not trading, because then you don't make the good gains either. You don't learn how this can make you wealthy.
What this means is, you enter in and exercise your due diligence at the same time.
And Determine-lastly, he says you've got to be determined, and boy, that's so right. It's not a matter of will you be successful or not. Look, let's go back to the trading example, which stands for a metaphor for anything you want to do, any project that you have, even if it's your one definite chief aim.
You will be successful, you will. That's not even in question. Can you see how easy that can be?
Now, does that mean you won't lose money or you won't have some bad experiences or that it might not talk longer than you planned? No, as you well know, everybody has to learn-there's a learning curve, there's education required for everything, for everybody. It does mean, again, that you have to do your due diligence. You move with adequate caution until you get more experienced.
You could also get more fortunate than you ever imagined.
You do find the right system, because you're moving forward. You just do-it's just not even a matter of will you.
Will you have setbacks? Yeah-even incredibly high-percentage winning systems still lose 5 to 10% of the time. And of course, they're not usually going for grand slam home runs, either.
Those lose more often, and of course they win on a big one. There are a lot of different trading styles and strategies.
This is not a trading course, it's a life course-and there are lots of styles. The thing is, move on the 4 D's-Dream, Dare, Do, Determine!
And, as Zig Ziglar says, I'll see you at the top! |
