The 6-Phase Success Formula

A good life requires plenty of self-improvement.

28-year-old you should cringe at 18-year-old you. And 38-year-old you should really cringe at both 18 and 28-year-old you.

If you want good things to happen to you, Growth is mandatory.

The problem is when you’re in grow mode, you often find yourself in go mode- all of the time.

And suddenly you realize you’re not present in your day-to-day life. You’re always building for some future you think you can control the outcome of. You start growing just for growing’s sake.

This is where the second half of the success formula comes into play- Gratitude.

Growth + Gratitude.

Growth

Phase 1: Self-improvement

This is the ‘mental game’ phase of growth.

You need to shift your mindset to one of resilience, self-control, mastery, etc.

For me, this meant a lot of reading.

And YouTube videos.

I wanted to learn the ways of successful people.

What did they think? What did they do? How did they respond to things? How do they view the world, their own life, etc.?

It also required a lot of questions of myself. What do I really want? What am I doing that I should stop? What am I not doing that I should be doing? Am I ready to commit to this process?

Phase 2: Habits

This is the ‘action’ phase of growth.

Reading and learning alone won’t do much for you. You need to start putting things into action.

You need to pick the things most important to you and build around them.

My Core Four are health, relationships, work, and finances.

Therefore I layer my day full of habits that serve those 4 pillars.

Phase 3: Financial Education

This is the part that lets you buy your freedom.

Once you learn how money works, nothing is ever the same.

It’s a simple process:

learn how to make money
learn how to keep money
learn how to make more money
learn how to grow money

Within each bullet point, there are various things to learn. So yes, it’s a simple process but not necessarily easy.

Making money- learn how to sell, write, and market.

Keeping money- learn how to budget and live below your means.

Growing money- learn how to invest.

Gratitude

Phase 4: Gratitude exercises

These exercises are simple. You run through a list of what you appreciate and are thankful for.

At least morning and night. Preferably throughout your day.

I’ve gotten to the point where pretty much everything I set my eyes on or think about, I’m grateful for. It’s a beautiful thing.

Phase 5: Serving others

You’re a hollow being if you don’t learn to serve others.

Serve your family, donate to charity, volunteer your time, help people on the internet who have questions, and send birthday cards to your friends.

There are a million ways to serve others help them and make them feel good.

Phase 6: Meditation

This is for clarity and clearer thinking in a noisy world.

Meditation is hard at first. In this day and age, it’s strange to be alone and quiet with our thoughts.

I promise you if you stick with it, you will not regret it. Start with 5 minutes in the morning. Add minutes as you get better.

Just sit and focus on your breathing. Let your thoughts come and go. Don’t get frustrated or annoyed. Just accept and let them go.
