Secret Of Success
Interview
with Jack M. Zufelt author of the book, The
DNA Of Success
www.DNAofsuccess.com
Mike
Carruthers:
You say you want something in your life and you have trouble
achieving it. Well, perhaps the question should really be…
Jack
M. Zufelt:
How bad do you want it? Is it a core desire or not?
If it's not a core desire, and that's on a scale from one to
a hundred, that's a hundred, if it's fifty on the scale that's
half hearted, half hearted doesn't cut it in anything.
Jack Zufelt
author of the book The
DNA Of Success…
For example
if you want to exercise you've got to carve out the time and
discipline yourself to do it everyday or three times a week.
If you decide that's too hard don't tell me you can't do it,
don't tell me that you don't have the skill or the ability,
just say this, "I guess I don't want it bad enough."
I'll buy that, the human being can learn. If a person can learn
they can create whatever they want because they can learn it
from somebody. But, if they don't want it bad enough they'll
quit.
If you're
honest with yourself and others about your core desire, Jack
says you'll be much happier.
If you
call me tonight and say, "Hey Jack, you want to go bowling?"
On a scale from one to a hundred I instantly measure that and
I like bowling but not tonight. I have something more important
so I'd say that's a sixty on the scale, I don't do sixties,
I don't do eighties, I don't do ninties. I'm clear now what
my hundreds are, I only do hundreds.
The fact
is that you'll almost always never succeed at anything just
because you should, could, or ought to.
"Ought
tos" "shoulds "and "need tos" don't
have the power to cause you to overcome the obstacles that will
come in your way because you're trying to make something happen.
