Eight years ago I went into
the studio and recorded a 56-minute video for teenagers
called "Three Keys To Greatness." Although my focus was for
teenagers, the principles I shared certainly apply to adults
as well.
Recently I was asked to list
these three things using one to two sentences for each. Now
for your benefit here they are again.
1) Setting Goals. I call it
the view of the future. Most people, including kids, will
pay the price if they can see the promise of the future. So
we need to help our kids see a well-defined future, so they
will be motivated to pay the price today to attain the
rewards of tomorrow. Goals help them do this.
2) Personal Development.
Simply making consistent investments in our self-education
and knowledge banks pays major dividends throughout our
lives. I suggest having a minimum amount of time set aside
for reading books, listening to audiocassettes, attending
seminars, keeping a journal and spending time with other
successful people. Charlie Tremendous Jones says you will be
in five years the sum total of the books you read and the
people you are around.
3) Financial Planning. I call
it the 70/30 plan. After receiving your paycheck or paying
yourself, simply setting aside 10% for saving, 10% for
investing and 10% for giving, and over time this will
guarantee financial independence for a teenager.
If a young person, or for
that matter an adult, focused on doing these three simple
things over a long period of time I believe they will be
assured success!
To Your Success,
