I love reading secrets to success, even if they are written for another industry than resale & consignment. Here’s my 30-second takeaway from an article I found.

The 3 Secrets to Success

Success secret #1: Take action

…advice can make you lots of money, if you know the success secret: You actually have to do something with the advice.

It’s not actually all that easy to go from advice to action. Here’s how:

• Get a little notebook. This is your to-do list for your project.
• Make a daily habit of one hour of action on your biggest goal. Success is built on lots of small steps. Start taking them.

Success secret #2: Have a plan

Put together plans for relatively simple, manageable projects. A dumb, simple little project that gets done is infinitely more valuable than an impressive one that gets 99% done. If you want to make a million dollars online, start with a project to make $10. Figure that out, then scale it. It sounds simplistic and even silly, but it works.

Success secret #3: Your secret sauce is you

This is the one that’s going to take #1 and #2 to a completely new level. Success secrets #1 and #2 can make you a decent living. Add #3 to those and you’ll start to create an extraordinary business that supports a meaningful life. If you’re just going to regurgitate the usual stuff… you’re not going to find too many customers.

The real secret

Nearly everyone will read this, feel inspired for about 45 seconds, then go off to hit Starbucks…
