PILLARS OF SUCCESS
Here is a secret, success is not accidental, it is intentional. While many people think that if they just won the lotto their problems would be solved, the reality is if you don’t have the right pillars in place, you will end up in a place worse then where you started. You will find these common pillars of success in almost every successful pursuit or venture you come across.
WHY?: A simple but powerful question, WHY are you settling for trading your life away?
FAITH: Your strong conviction in the certainty of the outcome
VISION: The destination your FAITH and WHY bring you to
The Power of Why
What is YOUR WHY? Before you evaluate any endeavor, you need to have a powerful why! A powerful why is one of the key pillars of success that without, many would lose motivation and focus.
Having a powerful why is an essential ingredient to any endeavor you undertake. It does not matter what you are trying to accomplish, if you don’t know why you are trying to achieve your goal, then your outcome becomes negotiable. You are going to need a more powerful why then, “I want to make more money,” if you want to earn $60-75K/yr or more in recurring revenue.
You need to have vision, a dream, and not just some fantasy, but real life goals that you want to achieve! Your internal WHY is so important to keeping that vision alive, otherwise you will fizzle out and the vision will die.
FAITH
Faith is the MOST IMPORTANT of the pillars of success. Faith is what holds you up and connects your WHY and VISION. If you don’t believe you can accomplish the desired outcome, then your WHY becomes null and void.
One of the definitions of Faith is, “something that is believed especially with strong conviction” (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/faith).
Strong conviction, think about that for a moment. We live in a world where people have strong convictions about so many things, yet, in their own lives, there is a lack of strong conviction to improve their situation.
MINDSET
While many people think if they could just be in the right place at the right time and everything will work out, the reality is we all have the ability to change our circumstances and mindset is a crucial aspect of that change.
Yes, time and resources help, but, there is so much more to accomplishing a desired outcome. You are where you are, stop waiting for someone to come along and bail you out. Take accountability of your life and be willing to embrace growth, change, and challenge.
ATTITUDE
Attitude is a reflection of mindset. Most people are so scared of failing they never have the courage to even start. Grit is an ATTITUDE MENTALITY, and it requires that strong conviction (AKA FAITH) mixed with a positive mindset to help you reach the finish line.
There has only been 1 who walked perfectly on Earth. EVERYONE else has failed at some time or another. Get over it, we learn, we fail, we learn some more, and we keep going until the mission is accomplished!
THE POWER OF TEAM
The unity of a mission is a powerful adhesive that binds people together! So many failures are a result of lone wolf syndrome. While we can embrace going against the masses, the simple truth is that no matter what you are building and scaling, without a team, your results will be limited.
Mindset and attitude are two things that can be changed and cultivated. A big part in having those perspective shifts are being surrounded by people on the same mission as you are. We understand that with a team the odds of reaching a successful outcome are greatly improved!
Trying to succeed on your own is where a lot of people go wrong. Success isn’t about reaching the top alone, it is about how many people you can bring with you along the way!

“Time is the most valuable asset you don’t own. You may or may not realize it yet, but how you use or don’t use your time is going to be the best indication of where your future is going to take you .” -Mark Cuban
