(This does not cover success with Women. That, in itself, is a totally different monster I have yet to understand).

There are some core Key Aspects on succeeding. Adhering to these aspects do not guarantee overnight success, but most, if not all, of the world's millionaires, leaders, and innovators follow these rules to the teeth.

Here are some core rules:

1)Read books
2)Consult with someone more experienced than you
3)Take action, and keep taking action.
4)Don't quit.

----------------
1)Read Books
----------------

The average millionaire reads about 17-23 books a year, most, if not all, relating to self-improvement and learning new skills.

Reading is NOT "storing" information in your head. You already know everything there needs to be know...it just needs to be "awakened" by becoming aware. By reading, you become aware of something someone else had a natural tendency for.

That is why you read these PUA books. Most of the PUAs whom have authored many of the books you've read have taken the time to put all they've learned (FROM OTHER BOOKS, if you've paid attention to what you've read) into what they've summarized for you.

Knowledge is indeed power. Get a reading regimen going on today. You'll notice a difference after a few weeks of steady reading

(Read between 1-2 hours a day, not necessarily consecutively).

------------------------------------------------------------
2)Consult with someone more experienced than you
------------------------------------------------------------

You've heard the saying "Respect your elders".

By elder, they don't mean "old people". They mean anyone who has
more experience than you in a certain area of life. Age does not necessarily
reflect wisdom and experience.

A 27 year old MILLIONAIRE...can teach you how to become a millionaire
A 67 year old EMPLOYEE...can teach you how to become broke at an old age.

A Sous Chef can teach you how to make good food.
A Banker can teach you Banking Finance
A Wine Afficionado can teach you everything about wine.

Everyone has an individual genius. If you can find what it is, learn from that person. Put your ego aside...you may be right, but do you want to be right, or smarter than you were before?

-------------------------------------------
3)Take Action, and keep taking action
-------------------------------------------

Just Do It.
-Nike

We, as people, look for answers to everything. We were trained to do so in college.

...sometimes, there IS no answer. Sometimes, the answer is right in front of our face.

Sometimes, the answer is just doing what has to be done. We, as people, think too damn much. Thinking...is rooted in fear. Action...is rooted in faith.

We NEVER have 100% chance of succeeding on the first try. We gotta strike out sometimes. Eventually, we will win. When it comes time to act, we find a reason not to, even if we want to.

We're trained to overthink, or rather, CRITICALLY think. Critical thinking, which is the process of deciding whether something is true, false, or neutral...is a double edged sword. It has generated ideas, but has also crippled us.

Sometimes, you just gotta do it. As much as it sucks, it's the answer we're looking for. Just do it. That's it.

4)Don't Quit
--------------

The things worth the most in this world are the hardest to attain, even for those who have the ability to do so.

Persistence wins. Have a vision of where you want to be, and don't let anything get in your way. It's possible. Persist and win.
