Over the years, I have heard from many people who have told me how they would attain High Levels of Success.
They told me how they would Change the World.
How they would become Great Leaders.
Impact Millions.
Design a New Future.
I've also seen the Vast Majority of them Collapse.
Quit.
Give Up.
They end up Falling Off the Face of the Earth.
Take an Easier Path.
If I had to estimate the percentages, it would be "Generous" to say that only 5% or Less Continue on their Paths toward Success.
Often, those Paths look "Much" Different than when they Started - I'm no exception to that Rule.
But it Raises the Question...
Why do So Many Collapse?
What Happens that Leads to Them Giving Up?
What is it that They are Missing?
There is one thing that Frequently Breaks People's Backs on the Path to Success...
Understanding Responsibility.
When most people think about Success, they Focus on "Their" Success.
They see it as an Individual Event.
It is about "Them".
However, this has "Never" been True.
High Levels of Success is "Always" about Others.
What Causes Success?
Strong Teams.
Loyal Customers.
Dedicated Followers.
Synchronistic Suppliers.
Superior Support Systems.
At the Highest Levels of Success, you must Understand how Responsibility begins to Impact You.
Let me give you an Example...
Let's look at the Person who says they want to become an Influencer.
Without even going into the "Profitability" of that Industry, which is a Major Stressor, what do you Need to be a Successful Influencer?
Dedicated Followers.
But what comes "With" these Dedicated Followers?
Expectations.
In today's world, an almost Ceaseless Never Ending list of Expectations.
They Expect You to Remain Consistent, Regardless of your Other Life Goals.
If you get Sick?
If you get Exhausted?
If you hit Burnout?
They will Still Expect You to Remain Consistent.
Want to Go on a Trip?
They are Still Expecting Your Content.
Feeling Uninspired?
Doesn't Matter to them.
Struggling to come Up with Content that is "Relevant" to what they are Expecting?
Too Bad.
If Your Content is Funny, they will Expect You to Make them Laugh.
If Your Content is in Wellness or Wellbeing, they will Expect Your Advice to Significantly Improve their Health.
If Your Content is in Business, they will Expect Your Advice to Improve their Revenue.
Each and Every Single Follower...
Laying their Expectations on Your Back...
How Many of their Lives can You Handle before Your Back Breaks?
Regardless of Your Industry, the Principle is the Same.
Want to be a Great Entrepreneur?
People will Expect You To Get them Results.
Their Expectations are Placed on Your Back.
Want to be a Successful Publically Traded Company?
Well, prepare for the Expectations of Your Teams.
Plus the Expectations of Your Customers.
Plus the Expectations of Your Shareholders.
How many Straws does it take to Break Your Back?
These Expectations can become a Gigantic Responsibility.
It becomes More Difficult because sometimes the Expectations Placed...
Are Not Fair...
Should Never Be Yours...
Are Added Stressors...
Each can Quickly throw you into Dis-Stress.
Then, what happens when you Fail to Live Up to the Expectations?
Will they Even Care About Why You Failed?
Will You Have to Convince them to Care that They Should Continue to Trust You?
What New Expectations will they Put On You to "Earn" their Trust back?
Failures are Inevitable because we are Human.
We All Fail Sometimes.
We All Fail to Hit the Marks.
We All Fail in Reading What Will Happen Next.
There are So Many Factors that are Completely Outside of Our Control.
But those Rarely Matter to those Who Have Placed Expectations On You.
Especially in today's world, we are often "Expected" to be Nearly Perfect, "Despite" calls for Authenticity.
Most people are Hypocritical in that Sense.
Yet, their Subconscious Expectations for Perfection are Placed on You Nevertheless.
Can you Handle That?
Are You Ready for those Expectations to be Placed Upon Your Back?
Are You "Truly" Ready for High Levels of Success?
Are You Ready to Go Beyond Leadership?
Tired of Broken Algorithms and AI Slop?
Excited to Dive Deeper into Psychophysiological Mastery?
Want to Change The World?
