I met a young college man today at a function and noticed some successful characteristics that he exhibited and wanted to share them.  This guy was sharp, great eye contact, nice handshake and always smiling.  I asked a few questions, how old, go to school, girlfriend, college major, etc.  He seemed like a man on a mission in how he was living his life.  So I asked, What do you want to do with your life?  He smiled and said “I want to make a Super Bowl Commercial” in a confident and knowing way.  He proceeded to tell me how excited he was for the day when he is watching the Super Bowl with family and friends and it comes on.

In reflecting on this interaction with this young man, I noticed 4 things that he was doing well and that over time, these 4 things will get him where he wants to go.

KNOW what you want, it’s different for everyone. Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.  Meaning that you are a success when you know what you want and you are working toward it.  It doesn’t matter if you want to be a great parent or a multi millionaire.  Spend some time with this and come up with something that is meaningful to you.  What is your purpose, what are you here to do, what do you want?  Have a solid answer before continuing.

Being quick with you answer to the question, What do you want.  He answered the question without even thinking about it.  It was quick with no hesitation  This is key, you should be able to answer this question in your sleep.

Short and sweet for laser focus. His answer had no fluff.  When your Brain is able to focus on one thing, that focus is like a laser beam.  When your brain focused on many things, that focus is like a radio tower sending frequency in all directions and what you want is not getting enough focus.  Your brain likes specific and condensed information.  If you have different goals for each area of your life, that is great.  See how you can combine and condense them.  Sometimes one goal is a result of another or one would need to happen in order for another to happen.  Give your brain one thing to focus on.

Feel good when you think about it. As he was answering the question, he was smiling, joking, relaxed and confident.  There is what’s called a sweet spot with goal setting and it’s a balance between belief and doubt.  If you feel bad while thinking about what you want, deep down, you doubt you can get it.  When you feel good while thinking about your want, you believe it is yours already.  Find something that makes you feel great when you think about it.

These 4 things will lead him to his dream and they will do the same for you.

Thank you,
