8ball 225x300 How To Be Right 100% Of The Time

Shake Up The Future

Would you like to be right about everything, all the time?

Do you want all your assumptions, predictions, and forecasts to come true, every day?

It’s easy. Just do this:

  • When you are faced with a new opportunity, run away
  • When you need to learn something difficult, don’t do it
  • When you are challenged to expand your market, predict disaster and cut back instead

It’s the only sure bet I know: if you see no possible way to succeed – you will fail.

And it is true. When you try, you actually might fail.

Maybe you really can’t do it. Maybe the market is saturated, the timing is wrong, the bottom feeders have poisoned the well, and your business plan sucks.

So what?

Try anyway. It’s OK to try and fail.

This is a hard lesson to learn, and for most of us, we will have to learn it over and over, because success doesn’t come quickly or easily or cheaply. We’ve all heard that success comes after hard work – but that’s only half the story. Success almost always comes after repeated failures.

When you find yourself behind the eight ball again, try picking it up and shaking it. Eventually, All Signs Point to Yes.
