A VERY Important Lesson

Want to learn one of the MOST important lessons
I ever learned from hanging out with multi-millionaires
and spending more than 11 years of my life studying
success and wealth?
 
Well, as a result of doing what I do for a living and from
doing everything to create my best-selling book
'Conversations with Millionaires' I've been able to
spend time with quite a few highly-successful
entrepreneurs.
 
In addition to that, I spent over 7 years of my life
(prior to experiencing an real success for myself),
searching for the elusive 'secret' to wealth and success...
 
But, after meeting and hanging out with these millionaires
and money-making experts, and from going through more than
237 books, programs, seminars, and workshops I finally
discovered that the true secret boils down to this...
 
If you want to become more successful, the key is NOT
necessarily to have everything figured out before you
start going.
 
Success can really be a lot more like rock climbing
than planning a trip sometimes.
 
You see, when you sit down to plan a trip like a family
vacation or something, you may want to spend the time to
plan out everything in advance. You may want to know
exactly what roads to take to get wherever you're going
and things like that.
 
But, success can often be more like Rock Climbing than
a family vacation.
 
Because someone who is about to climb a rock may not
even know 99% of the path they'll take.
 
They may just know that they need to head North
(ie. "Up").
 
But, they won't know which path up the rock will get
them to the top.
 
So, what they do is find a hand-hold that is 'good enough'
to get started with and a place to put their foot that
is 'good enough' to get started with. Then, from there,
they figure the rest out as they go.
 
Now that they're 'up-close and personal' with the journey
it's easier to see what next step makes the most sense.
 
Of course, I'm not trying to take away from the concepts
like "good planning". But, what I've discovered can be
just as, if not MORE important, is to just barrel down and
take that first step. Just GET GOING!
 
Because you can have a great plan and still not take any
of the steps. Obviously, that won't get you anywhere either.
 
Or, you can simply take the first step and figure out the
next step from THERE. And if you do it this way then at
least you're a step further ahead than if you took no steps
at all.
 
Plus, from the new perspective you have after taking that
first step, it's often easier to figure out what the next
step is.
 
What I'm saying is that getting on the road to success is
sometimes more about doing whatever you can with whatever
you ALREADY have and what you ALREADY know, than it is
about waiting to get started because you may not have every
step figured out yet.
 
Does that make sense?
 
Because doing THAT is how you learn the next thing you
need to know most!
 
The reality is that you know a lot more than you
give yourself credit for.
 
You already HAVE more than you realize.
 
You're already capable of much, much, MUCH more than
your current results reveal.
 
This isn't about a PEP talk or anything, either.
 
This is about putting your nose to the grind stone
and doing the ONE single thing ALL successful people
do!
 
What is it?
 
It's simply taking ACTION! Taking a step forward.
 
Success is nothing more than consistently taking
steps forward.
 
Then, over a period of time, the results from those
steps build upon themselves to equal success. (And
the time is usually faster than you would have thought.)
 
I know - I know. You've heard that it's all about
'taking action' 50 Gazillion times before, right?
 
But, then why aren't you doing MORE of it?
 
Why are you still looking for some OTHER 'secret'?
 
Why do you spend more time looking for some magical
way to get 'beamed up' to the big time, than you do
taking the steps to GET to the big time?
 
Here's something I call...
 
"The Fast Track To Success and Wealth".
 
The secret is to start taking action NOW. Start taking
steps forward NOW. Do something with whatever you
ALREADY have, and do it NOW.
 
Because when you do that you will turbo-charge the time
it takes you to become more successful.
 
How?
 
Because the ONLY way to learn what will REALLY work
for you is to actually DO something. Then, whatever
results you get, use those results to figure out
your next step.
 
Your next step may be to repeat the same thing over
again, because it worked good enough already.
 
Or, it may be to do the exact opposite, because it got
the exact opposite result from what you wanted. Or, it
could be anything in-between.
 
But, you'll never know until you take that step and
see what happens.
 
In other words, don't worry about knowing ALL the
steps right now. Just focus on taking ONE step forward.
Then focus on taking the NEXT step forward.
 
Before you know it, you'll look back and you'll be MANY
steps farther than you were and you will see that it
probably wasn't as bad or hard as you thought it would be
anyway.
 
The reality is that oftentimes you can NOT and will NOT
know the NEXT step until you take the FIRST step!
 
If you've ever done any rock climbing or seen someone
do it on TV, then you may already know that a rock climber
doesn't know exactly where or even HOW he will grab hold
with his hands next.
 
He doesn't know exactly where he will put his foot next.
 
He doesn't know whether he will climb upward to the
LEFT, to the RIGHT, or STRAIGHT UP.
 
The ONLY way he can find out which direction to go,
where to grab with his hands, and where to step with
his foot, is to grab the first spot that looks good
enough with his hands and step on whatever spot looks
good enough with his feet.
 
Then from that perspective you can figure out your
next move.
 
But, if you never take that first step, you'll never
get to the top of the mountain.
 
So, now, an ACTION STEP:
 
I recommend you look in your local Yellow Pages and
find a Rock Climbing Gym or a sporting goods store
with a rock wall.
 
If you can't find anything called a "Rock Climbing Gym"
then just call a Sporting Goods store or two and ask
them where you can find a "Rock Climbing Wall" to do
some Rock Climbing.
 
Here's what will happen when you go to one of these
places to do some Rock Climbing (which can be REALLY
fun, by the way. And don't worry it's very safe too!)...
 
No matter how long you sit there and stare at a certain
wall to climb...no matter how much time you spend trying
to figure out the path you'll need to take to get to the
top...
 
Once you actually take that first step and begin, it
never goes exactly like you thought it would. So, you have
to adjust and be flexible and just go with it as you climb.
 
Each step helps you figure out the next step you'll need
to take.
 
And in fact, THAT is a HUGE part of what makes it so FUN!
 
Because if you knew in advance exactly which steps you
were going to take and it went exactly as planned it would
probably get boring pretty fast!
 
The fun is in the ADVENTURE of it!  The fun is in the
JOURNEY to the top and then getting there and realizing
you DID it!
 
NOT because you knew in advance HOW you were going to
do it. But because you figured it out along the way and
you made it happen - even though you didn't know HOW you
were going to do it when you started!
 
So, if you're still waiting to take your first step on
the road to success, then just take it NOW and then focus
on the next step AFTER you take that first step.
 
And if you've already taken steps for success, then
figure out what your NEXT step is and take it NOW!
 
Either way, make it FUN.
 
Make it an ADVENTURE!
 
You CAN do it, my friend!
 
I believe in you!
 
Here's to enjoying the Journey!
 
Your friend,
 
Jason Oman
 
PS: I'm absolutely DEAD serious about finding a Rock
Climbing Wall! Not only is it a good and healthy way
to get your body moving, but it's truly an AMAZING
way to see how the journey to success works too!
 
Try it out and you'll see for yourself!
 
In fact, even if you just go to one to watch others and
see how this kind of activity works (without doing it
yourself) it will still be enormously beneficial when you
look at it in terms of how it relates to the journey of
success!
 
Do it to it, and let me know how it goes and what you learn,
my friend.
