Work The System

One of the best ways to develop mastery at something is to find a system that will help you accomplish what you want to accomplish and work the system.

Work the system as well as you can, as hard as you can, and more often than not, you will see success.

But you have to stick with the system, even if you aren’t seeing immediate results. And this is where many of us fall down. We find a system, a great system, and we work it for a week, or a month, and we wonder why the heck we aren’t getting results.

Any system that promises immediate results is likely lying to us, unhealthy for us, or unethical for those around us.

Take these claims:

Lose 20 pounds in a week!

Get paid $647 a day!

Find the love of your life today!

We all know it’s unlikely those results will happen for us.

And yet we still look for a silver bullet to success. Some magical shortcut to health, wealth

or love – or really any goal worth having.

We keep looking for some Oprah moment.

Start doing the hard work.

Start by finding a process from someone you trust. Start the process and then continue working that process, every day, for at least 66 days.

After 66 days, if you aren’t getting some results, not ALL of the results but SOME results, then try another process, and work that process for 66 days.

Because after 66 days, you can either have worked a process and started to see some results, or you can just be 66 days older.

The choice is yours.

PS: Are you looking for a process for finding yourself new business? I give away one of my most effective prospecting processes in a conversation with Shawn Rhodes over at Bulletproof Selling.
