MILLIONAIRE SUCCESS HABITS
either, was that I possessed an amazing capacity for visual and audible learning. I could watch somebody drive a bulldozer for 15 minutes and jump on and drive it like a pro. I could watch people on stage and be able to emulate them with ease. Through these two senses, I was able to absorb knowledge and skills that took other people years to acquire. I was able to start things fast and get them accomplished fast, but I was told to work on my weaknesses so many times growing up that it almost crippled my learning ability and career. Many adults inadvertently strip kids of their confidence and their abilities because of this insistence on addressing weakness- es. The truth is that when we’re taught to work on the things we suck at, it makes us struggle constantly and it diminishes our belief in ourselves. There is only one way for us to say, “heck no,” to working on our weaknesses and to make sure this doesn’t cripple our success like it does for millions of people around the world. And that’s to do the complete opposite of what most people suggest when it comes to weaknesses and instead say, “Forget about it!” GET AMAZING AT WHAT YOU’RE ALREADY GOOD AT You’re good at something. Heck, I bet you are good, if not great, at a lot of things. Take a moment right now, stop reading, and write down a list of what you do well. (You can find this “Get Amazing” form at www.thebetterlife.com under the “Book Resources” tab.) Are you good at communicating? Are you good at selling? Are you good at just being honest? Are you good at being a friend? Are you good at being a listener? Are you good at organization and structure? Are you good at developing systems or programming computers? Because here’s what I know: You possess gifts, your unique abilities. There’s no real explanation as to why you’re good at some things—you just are. And your success depends on making it a habit to focus on improving what you’re already good at to the point of greatness.
