20 Laws of Extraordinary Success - part 1 (adapted from Steve Scott's Mentoring Program)

Anyone that knows me, knows that I love to read. I am especially fond of library book sales. You never know what you will find and if you look hard enough you can find some unbelievable gems. The last book sale I found Steve Scott's Mentoring Program, complete with everything included. I will share, in the next four weeks, his laws of success and give my own interpretation. I hope you will glean some wisdom from these laws as I have.

Law 1
Achievers of ordinary outcomes use conventional approaches. Super Achievers that acquire extraordinary to near impossible outcomes use a different set of Master Strategies.

-The people in life that find tremendous success in all that they do certainly work from a whole different playbook than other people work from. This is why we look at the real movers and innovators of our world and find that they made their way against all odds against them. So if we are to become successful in life we need to follow our own rules and often make them up as we go.

Law 2
Super Achievers learn these Master Strategies from mentors (the fast way) or through the agonizing process of trial and error (the slow way).

-All I can say is find someone who is further along the path and learn from them. It is so important that we have people that can not only support us but also push us along in our path. Mentors can not only teach us many things that we do not currently have the experience for, but they also can save us from the many pitfalls that await us in the shadows.

Law 3
Regardless of our past, anyone can reprogram themselves by learning the right strategies for success and commit to using them.

-There are many of us that have jaded pasts or difficult upbringings. However, it is what we are willing to learn from these things that must motivate and drive us for a better future. We can become experts in any field if we are willing to devote the time and dedication to doing so, with or without a degree. Remember that the majority of Super Achievers cane from difficult backgrounds and often had little to no formal education. Its all about commitment.

Law 4
Extraordinary achievement is impossible to attain without a clear and precise vision and a detailed plan to achieve that vision.

-We must take the time to map out our vision if we ever expect to get anywhere with it. Or it will be forgotten with the many other great ideas and dreams we have never actualized. Take the time, in the end it will all be worth it.

Law 5
Vision infuses life into any project or endeavor, and the lack of vision infuses the dying process.

-When we have true vision we find the passion that drives us to complete the seemingly impossible. Where does your vision take you? It is different for all of us, which makes the diversity in life exciting and keeps our world flowing with new and exciting ideas. However, there will always be those people who are unable to catch the vision that you have and try to destroy all that you are working toward. It is your job to distance yourself from those people and allow them to have little influence in your decision making process. If not, you vision may never see the light of day.

Stay tuned for part 2 next week. Train hard and reach for your dreams.
