Richard St. John - 8 Secrets of Success


This talk was short, sweet, and straight to the point. 

1. passion - do it for Love not money
2. work  - nothing worthwhile easy 
3. good - get really good at one skill; there is no magic - practice practice practice
4. focus - focus on one thing
5. push - push through shyness and self doubt
6. serve - millionaires serve others something of value - that is how people really get rich
7. ideas - listen, observe, be curious, ask questions, problem solve, make connections
8. persist - #1 reason why people succeed 

persist thought CRAP - Criticism, Rejections, Assholes, Pressure :)

there are 2 rules that stood out to me the most: serving and persisting. Serving at a restruant is like a modern day rite of passage. and I think it's a really important one - a necessary humbling. 
Persisting without  a doubt is what leads to success- I couldnt agree more. In my opinion, there can be no success without persistance. Having looked over this list one more, I noticed  that Richard St. John used a couple of words that somewhat synonymous to persist: work, focus, push. So really , what this really is a 4 point strategy for success : 1. persist, 2. passion 3.serve and 4. ideas.
