How do YOU achieve SUCCESS…Decision.
Welcome back to YOUR OBSESSUCCESS!
YOUR OBSESSUCCESS!
Just YOURS and YOURS only!
Consider that yesterday YOU came face to face with the seriousness of YOUR decision.
If YOU are going to take the first step of OBSESSUCCESS: The Philosophy of Achievement, then, YOU must cut off anything and everything that interferes with YOUR decision.
This concept is important to understand.
It is one of the many things that make OBSESSUCCESS: The Philosophy of Achievement different from other self-help philosophies.
YOU must decide exactly what YOU want, and that success decision YOU have made becomes YOUR obsession.
YOU cut off anything and everything that interferes with YOU achieving YOUR success decision.
This is something serious.
This is not a wish or a dream.
This is YOUR decision.
This is YOUR obsession.
This is YOU.
YOUR life.
YOUR OBSESSUCCESS!
There are countless examples of people who exhibit OBSESSUCCESS and the book discusses many of them, but here are two recent examples from the 21st century whose decisions became their obsessions and their recent achievements have become legendary.
For YOUR consideration, Taylor Swift’s decision.
At what age can you make your decision?
For Taylor Swift, she made her decision when she was 10 years old.
At 11 years old she was knocking on doors determined to get a record deal.
At 12 years old she taught herself to play guitar, even though she was told her fingers were too small.
At 14 years old she became the youngest person ever signed to the major songwriting company in Nashville, Sony/ATV Publishing
At 17 years old she charted her first number 1 song making her the youngest artist in history to achieve the top spot on the country charts.
At 19 years old she became the youngest person to win entertainer of the year at the Country Music Association Awards.
Since then, Taylor Swift has received so many awards and accolades for her work and ultimately has become the highest-earning female musician in the industry with a net worth over $1 billion.
At the Grammy Awards in 2016, she said. “…there are going to be people along the way who are, going to try to undercut your success…but if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you’re going you’ll look around and you’ll know it was you and the people who love you who put you there and that will be the greatest feeling in the world.”
She is arguably the most popular artist in the world today.
She achieved her decision.
She is 34 years of age.
Also for YOUR consideration, Jennifer Hudson’s decision.
There have only been 19 people who have won the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award) and there have only been 6 women who have won the four.
Jennifer Hudson is one of those 6 women.
She started singing in her South Side Chicago Baptist church choir as a child and at the age of 13 she realized that she had a special gift, her voice.
She made the decision to use that gift to achieve her success.
As a teenager, she would sing at different venues and then go home and make music videos in her mirror. She would even practice her acceptance speeches.
At 22 she auditioned for American Idol and got her ticket to be on the show.
It was a shock when she was voted off the show and didn’t even make the top five finalists.
Did this discourage her from her decision.
Absolutely not.
It actually energized her and as she has said, “It was better to lose in some ways, as I was in a I am not going to let anything stop me kind of mood.”
Nothing has stopped her from accomplishing her decision.
She has not only won the EGOT, but she now has her own daily talk show and always remembers what her mother instilled in her, “Whatever you put your mind to, you can do it.”
The previous two examples are of two women of the 21st century who overcame every adversity YOU can imagine.
Once they made their respective decisions, negativity and adversity came against them from everywhere.
Society told them they had no chance to achieve their success decisions.
But they made their decision and they were obsessed.
Nothing and no one was going to stop them from achieving their decision.
They would not be denied.
They didn’t realize it at the time, but they were following the OBSESSUCCESS Philosophy of Achievement.
YOU can do it too!
Follow the OBSESSUCCESS examples from history and follow the steps in the book and YOU can achieve YOUR decision!
YOU can and YOU will!
Until next time.
Be OBSESSUCCESS!
