Why Successful People Sometimes Fail
by excitedbylife on June 19, 2009

After 7 years and 500 interviews of successful people Richard St. John came up with a list of 8 secrets to success. In this Ted presentation Richard points out that success is not a step by step process but a continuous journey.  The problem is that when we get to the top of a process we think we have made it. We get too comfortable with success and the money – this sets us to fall back down the hill to failure. Richard draws from his own business failure – he was serving himself rather than his true passion of serving his customers.

What leads to success?Success is a journey – a continuous process, not a step by step process.
Here are the big 8 principles that Richard identified from his research.

Passion
Do it for love, not for the money – the money will follow.

Work
It’s a lot of work, nothing comes easily – but work can be fun.

Good
Get good at something. Practice, practice and practice.

Focus
Focus on one thing.

Push
Push through shyness and self-doubt.

Serve
It is a privilege to serve and offer something of value. That’s the way to get really rich.

Ideas
Listen, observe, be curious, ask questions, make connections and solve problems.

Persist
Persist through failure, criticism, pressure and rejection.
