I’ve been reading a lot of success/law of attraction type books lately and many of them say the same thing: To become successful you have to duplicate the behavior of successful people.
So as I left the house for a meeting with a new client yesterday, I figured what the heck, I’ll record my journey on video – guru style!
Cheese and Double Sided Tape
Now, I’ve watched a number of these ‘guru driving in their car’ videos before and I always found them to be a bit cheesey. I also figured these guys had some fancy dashboard mounted video camera system all ready to go for the next multi million dollar power meeting…
But yesterday morning , I said to myself, “screw it – I’m going to do what the gurus do!”. So, I went to the garage, found some cheap double sided tape and stuck my digital camera to my dashboard (real ninja, huh?). I fought the urge to dismiss the whole thing as too low tech and high cheese but I “stuck” with it and set out – fancy dashboard mounted camera system and all!
Get Yourself in a ‘Success Mindset’
Now I can’t say that this small act of ‘doing what the gurus do‘ was solely responsible for the meeting with my client turning out so well. But I can say that it definitely put me in a ’success mindset’. By the time I arrived at my client meeting I was truly energized, positive and already envisioning a successful outcome. And that is another key to success – already envisioning yourself enjoying the successful outcomes of your actions…
What lessons can be learned from doing what the gurus do?
1. By emulating the actions of successful people you can actually expedite your own success!
If you are skeptical like I was – just try it – and you’ll see that it works!
2. Just do it!
Your content doesn’t need to be perfect. You don’t need the latest and greatest equipment to make a statement or make a point. Just take what you have and go.
Like Seth Godin says “Ship today. Save the world tomorrow.”
3. You have nothing to lose.
Everyone knows the pop culture definition of insanity – doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different result.
So, as written in the Success Principles, if you haven’t reached the level of success you expect – CHANGE your actions – they obviously have not been working for you. And to find actions that DO produce success, you need to look no further than the 1st successful person that you respect and begin to “do what the gurus do“!
Do YOU do what the gurus do?
