This is why some people are successful and some are not | Dan Lok


I want you to imagine what life could be
like if you could be your very best in
every area of your life your
relationship your finance your business
your career your family your health your
hobby your passion what would it be like
if you could be at your very best in
every area of your life
I’ve been asked hundreds of times in
talks and interviews
what is the one quality or action or
mindset that will ensure a person truly
creates extraordinary success I
discovered and although there are many
factors that lead to success
goal-setting focus persistence time
management people’s skill I’ve never
been clear on that one thing that really
makes a difference when I look in my old
life ask myself the question what was it
that made me successful it wasn’t
because of my intelligence when I first
came to Canada I couldn’t speak a word
of English when I wasn’t in school I was
a C student it wasn’t because I had a
great upbringing because actually my mum
and dad got divorced when I was 16 years
old and surely after that my dad went
bankrupt so I wasn’t born with a silver
spoon in my mouth and definitely it
wasn’t because I was connected to the
right people because when I first
immigrated to Canada I didn’t know
anybody and it wasn’t because of my
personality because at a time when I was
young was very very shy
there wasn’t a social at all I didn’t
have a lot of friends and back then I
couldn’t even speak a word of English
and it definitely wasn’t because of luck
because I have failed and I started to
fail at 13 businesses before having my
first success
I’ve lost millions of dollars in
business so I wouldn’t call it luck how
hungry are you for success what are you
willing to give up in order to get what
you want what sacrifices are you willing
to make what excuses are you willing to
let go are you willing to experience
humiliation embarrassment rejection as
part of the price are you surely
committed to success or your just liking
the idea see most people that’s the
problem they just kind of want
they talk about it and think about it
they complain about it but they don’t
really want it most people like the idea
of having a great relationship guess
what if you’re truly committed you’ll be
going out on a date most of you like the
sound of the that all be my own boss if
you actually commit it you’re wrong
you’ll be being business most of you
like the idea of losing 20 pounds guess
what if you truly committed you show up
at a gym
you were showed up at the gym and that’s
the issue we don’t really want it we
don’t want it that

so the unstoppable the unstoppable force
hunger is the unstoppable force hunger
is what it’s what it’s gonna make you
unstoppable hunger is what’s gonna keep
you going when things get tough hunger
drives success hunger destroys or fear
or failure hunger is your ultimate
competitive advantage it is your common
when you want something bad enough and
it sure when you know what you want and
you want it bad enough you’ll find a way
to get [Music]
