What is the Secret to Success?
I do numerous radio, podcast, and television interviews each year, and one of the questions I get asked most often is: “What is your secret to success?” In this video, I tell my personal story about my journey on the road to success, and if you are thinking the road was a quick and easy one–think again.
I tell people who are striving to achieve success in a short amount of time that I am a twenty-year ‘overnight’ success. In other words, there is no such thing as overnight success. It took me twenty years of working diligently and consistently, day-in and day-out, doing the same things over and over to achieve some degree of success.
I firmly believe that the secret to success without hard work is still a secret. However, there is a key idea that I share in the video that I learned through doing research for my book Masters of Success, and I believe it can really help when it comes to attaining success.

Success is A JOURNEY! Putting one foot in front of the other! And most importantly always remembering that we put two steps forward and one step backward – then raising up again.
We used to call it “having a work ethic.”
It is rare these days for the “up and coming” to be taught self-discipline and perseverance. Our culture promotes a “give it to me NOW” attitude, and that one is entitled to success, accolades, rewards – without having models or guidance of how to do that. Our culture denigrates the value of hard work, even the idea that work can be enjoyed. If you love your work, it is not drudgery, and you will achieve success.
Another point is that we each have a different definition of “success.” What I consider success for me may not mean a damned thing to someone else. That’s part of what makes us unique – AND invaluable in our relationships, personally and professionally.
In addition, every failure is an indispensable resource from which to create or generate success – if we choose to learn from them.
