The one (1) way to success that works for me might work for you, too.

By In You

How can 1 way be enough? Am I kidding you? On the contrary, I’m serious.
On Amazon, success principle books vary from 140 to over 600 pages. I know. I read many of them. But after I had done that, I did some thinking of my own and concluded that 1 (one) way is enough.

I found out 1 way is all it takes too late if you ask me, but I don’t ask myself and there’s nothing I can do about it now anyway. Not that I’d want to, for here’s how the 1 way works.

Oh, just one more thing before we dive right in and the secret will be revealed.

It helps if you not only understand but also accept the difference between success and the rewards of success.

When you can clearly see the difference between the two, here’s my 1 way to success that works for me that can also work for you:

Work only for the sensation while working.

If you don’t love your work, why bother?

But when you do love your work and your work and your love are in harmony, so is your sensation.

Do NOT let yourself be distracted to work for the sensations that may happen after the work is complete.

I’m a writer. That means in my case that if my writing doesn’t interest me while writing, why expect a different reaction from when it’s read? But your situation may be different. Most likely it is. You’re maybe a gardener, farmer, tennis player, parent, dancer, or whatever, but the identical 1 way applies to whatever you do.

You’re a success if you get up in the morning and get to bed at night, and in between work only for the sensation while gardening, farming, playing, parenting, dancing, or whatever you do. Because being interested is how you become interesting. Do NOT let yourself get distracted by sensations after the gardening, farming, playing, parenting, dancing, or whatever is complete.
Because A) you can only imagine, but you cannot know, what those future sensations will be, and B) they can be anything at all because they’ll depend upon future circumstances, also known as future Circum’s dances.
Just kidding, of course.

But I’m not kidding when I tell you that if you follow the 1 way to success, then success will be instant because the sensations while working will be equally instant.

I’d love to hear which ways to success work for you?

Do you think that escaping the 9-5 and becoming a solopreneur will set you free?

By In You

Do you think that escaping the 9-5 and becoming a solopreneur will set you free?

The best time to read this post is now because you don’t have time to hurry later today.

If you’re in a 9-5 job, thinking of escaping it, a capable boss can be a blessing. They can catch you doing this right (as opposed to doing things wrong), provide constructive feedback, encourage you to excel to your full potential, unearth possibilities for advancement, and be an inspiring mentor for the adoption of a healthy lifestyle.

But if like many of your sisters and brothers, you’re on the short end of the stick and unlucky to be misled by an incapable boss, the important thing to remember is that there are more opportunities than you can imagine outside of working for a boss…provided you let go of working for a boss first. Yup, there is risk involved because it means you must have an exit strategy before you sign on the dotted line of the contract to work for a boss.

If your goal is to be certain, chances are you’ll never be a solopreneur. But when you accept how dangerous everything is, nothing on the path of solopreneurship is frightening. Don’t get me wrong, being a solopreneur is hard because it means being your own boss, in charge of your branding, marketing, product development, selling, logistics, accounting, recruiting, and tracking, with nobody to blame when things go wrong, which they will, especially in the beginning

Universal truth

The universal truth we tend to ignore is no one comes out of this journey alive. Of course, it’s not just about you, we’re all on this together. In business as in private, everything worth doing is fraught with risk and danger. But if you accept that, you’re safe. Just don’t believe the grind-for-the-sake-of-grinding stories that are considered medals of honor in some circles of social media.

Solopreneurship is to enhance your journey, not run it, and that personal fulfillment is highest on your totem pole of values. Being a solopreneur means working only for the sensation while working, and not for the sensation for when the work is completed.

I sometimes think about why many word-users shy away from danger. I think it’s because we’ve been conditioned to believe that success ought to be easy.

But there are two kickers:

Nothing worth doing is easy.
Success doesn’t equal fulfillment.

My mistake

I wish I had known this before I embarked on a career of working for bosses both capable and disastrous. But because I didn’t, I finally quit only in 1999, and have been a solopreneur ever since. Until then, I climbed the corporate ladder without seeing it lean against the wrong wall.

Sure, it got me bigger titles, more money, and a better network. But the long hours, the family sacrifices, and the constant rat race took its toll. To top it all off, I left work every day drained instead of energized.

Then I pivoted and decided to take the path of solopreneurship instead, including the uncertainty of no regular income, the weight of the decisions alone on my shoulders, and the fear that it might all go away. But it’s different. I feel excited now and it’s 100% mine, with no one to blame, all that time gained and a huge weight off my shoulders.

I don’t look back in regret and now enjoy being the captain of my solopreneur-ship instead. “Ships in harbor are safe, but that’s not what ships are built for (Grace Hopper).”

So, what’s your exciting?

There’s nothing wrong with taking the road most traveled… as long as you remember that by the end of the day it’s your level of fulfillment that alone matters. Because how you feel determines what you go after, and what you avoid to the end of your days.

If you don’t feel energized and fulfilled now, carve out something of your own. What will kickstart the fire within you that people will come from miles around to see burn? What gets you out of bed excited every new day? What more are you willing to endure for the sake of what fulfills you and makes you feel good?

I can’t know it for you, but I can help. An email to beat@schindlersword.com is all it takes. Alternatively, you can book a free 1:1 call at https://calendly.com/beatsword/101coaching
