What All Success Has In Common

In this episode of Morning Motivation, Michael strips success down to its core truth: those who achieve never stop before they get there. Every obstacle, every setback, every failure becomes just another step on the journey.

But here’s the key—success isn’t about stubbornly sticking to one method. It’s about knowing the real goal behind the goal. If your dream is impact, then speaking, writing, coaching, or building a business are just vehicles. What matters is that you keep moving forward, adjusting the path, but never quitting on the true dream.


Success isn’t complicated. You just keep going until you arrive.

Transcript

Every person who has ever been successful at anything throughout all of human history has one single thing in common. Every single person who's ever been successful in any endeavor at any time has this in common. They did not stop before they succeeded. They kept going until they got there. Now for some it's easy, for sometimes there is no obstacle, there is no challenge, there's no reason to give up. And other times there is obstacle after obstacle after obstacle. It seemed impossible once, twice, ten times, twenty times, and they kept going. Anyone who has ever been successful at anything at any time in human history did not stop before they succeeded. This may sound obvious when you think about it, but some of the most foundational, fundamental, profound truths are quite obvious when you get right down to it. There's no secret to success, it is that you keep going until you get there. Sometimes it's a different path, sometimes it's a different method, but you always keep going. And this is why knowing the goal is so crucial. We sometimes get caught up in these placeholder goals. I want to make a million dollars, I want to be famous, I want to date a supermodel, whatever it might be, but that's often not the real goal. The real goal is something more fundamental. I want to have great impact, I want to be comfortable, I want to feel safe, I want to feel loved. And when you know what the real goal is, then you can... truly pursue it forever without stopping until you achieve it. If you want to have great impact on the world and you try one thing, you try writing a book and nobody reads the book and you try to become a speaker and nobody will come see you speak and no one will hire you and then you try something else and you try something else. You're not giving up. Your goal is impact and the impact will come when you find the right vehicle for it. We think giving up is the wrong thing. Oh, you stopped speaking. You gave up on that. No, my dream was impact. Speaking was simply a method for it. What the most successful people, what every successful person has in common is they didn't give up but they also knew what they were trying to do. forecast this morning... A new look at your forecast this morning...
