Well, maybe he is statistically right, but I sure wouldn’t want to live in a world where none of us even try just because the odds are against us.

Shoot, isn’t one of the main tenants of existence that we learn from failure?

You certainly drive home a great point here Lisa. Speaking from experience I can definitely say success does not happen by accident.

I’m normally also a big fan of Seths but I’m with you on this. We are definitely able to build our own successes and nothing can stop us unless we let it. Unfortunately we’re the ones stopping ourselves most of the time.

I love everything about this post, great post and very true. I have not read Seth’s post yet, so I am not sure what my take will be on his post, but I agree with everything you have wrote. We are our own worst enemy when we doubt ourselves and nothing is too big if you work hard enough.

Love it!

Hey Lisa -

Good stuff.

Regardless of what Seth actually meant, I tend to agree with Lea on this.

Your (our) interpretation of his message is a reflection of something within.

If “you” hear it as “don’t even try, you’ll fail” then that is really nothing more than an echo of something within “you” that limits what you believe is possible for “yourself”.

If on the other hand “you” hear it as you did, as an invitation to step forward into the generative creation of the life and success you desire, then what Seth is showing you is that anything is possible.

Ive been reading Seth for a long time now and I love that someone else felt the same way about this as I did. I’ve been in business for coming up on 4 years and have had some nasty bumps in my way but I didn’t let those things be an excuse for failure. Every time I read something like this or get a negative from somebody it pushes me even harder to read more, work more, study more, and overall be better in every possible way I can find. Kudos on a great article just found ya and am already lovin it.

Lisa, your youth is not a negative getting in the way of you seeing truth. In fact, your youth allows you to believe in a better way to live than the sheep to slaughter older majority of Americans.

If Seth really believed some of what he wrote this morning, he wouldn’t be where he is today either. He’s an author. He writes about subjects he’s passionate about. He’s doing what he loves. He’s a marketer. He’s marketing his message.

In fact every successful thing he’s doing is based on the fact that those are the very same things other successful people do.

Business success is not about picking one “end product” to focus on creating so that you end up striking it rich in an infomercial. It is about identifying what you are passionate about. Then finding a business model around that. Then applying proven business principles to that business.

The fact is that there are a plethora of books on the market that speak about the common factors of most insanely successful people. And while just reading a book is not going to make anyone successful, it shows that there are common traits and common processes to the success process.

So anyone who wants to be successful in their own right CAN actually learn what goes into the success stew. And in fact, IGNORING or DISREGARDING what successful people have done would actually be really dumb.
