@Bl4cKeN1nG In the case of Mr Murdoch, I suspect lack of ethics was a prerequisite to his "success", (at least his definition of success). If I was him, I'd feel like a very ashamed failure. He's not someone who should be held up to be emulated, but in theory I agree with you. Having said that, I think that having no concept of ethics, must help with monetary 'success' & probably power, as this would inhibit care and conscience, which would be a great help if you wanted his kind of success! :)
@FreePress1000 I do not disagree that in a given case, lack of ethics may have been a stepping stone to "success". However i was just pointing out that it is not necessary (or sufficient) to have a lack of ethics to be "successful". There exists many paths since success can only be broadly defined.

Nothing wrong with what was said. But it should be kept in mind that none of this "success" is possible without a booming economy which itself requires abundant resources and energy sources with high energy density, like coal, petroleum & nuclear (but uranium is in somewhat short supply). And let us keep in mind that Bill Gates was a very unethical businessman - its not all rosy in the real world. and sometimes success is due to luck.
@rh001YT I soooo disagree based on years of study. Yes Gates is a globalist, eugenics piece of trash. But success first of all is not defined as having lots of money therefore the economy has nothing to do with it, as for the economy end the GD federal reserve and the who;le country will boom again, its called a free market. But if you make bombs right now or medicine your "economy" is booming.
@jrc3ky An economy can only "boom" if high density energy is used to change resources into useful products. How else? Horse power can't do very much. Industrial revolution was fueled by coal-to-steam, which ran factories & locomotives & steam shovels. In rural India there is little fuel available, thus no prosperity-the village boy must go to the city to be successful. Good ideas can only go so far without abundant energy and resources. The modern entrepreneur is an artifact of petroleum.
@jrc3ky Bombs do not create a booming economy, they are equivalent to burning money - wealth is not created. That same money could contribute to a boom if it was used for something like irrigation, refridgeration or roads. Any state in India can only export non-perishable produce, but in USA, Florida supplies orange juice for the entire nation. More food is more wealth. The regridgeration is supplied by coal and petroleum. There are many orange juice millionaires.

Yes, Bill Gates worked his ass off to get rich, but he worked his ass off because he was genetically wired to do so. Determinism sucks but it's pretty much inescapable.
"it's like saying Bill Gates got rich 'cause he was genetically wired to create wealth."
Of course, I am saying no such thing.
"But in reality, he worked his ass off for it."
There are lots of people who work their ass off and never get rich. Plus Gates got his riches by being shrewd, intelligent and backstabbing, which are personality traits very much determined by genetics.
CRAP. Someone should simply take his 'examples" and do a historical background of "how they got there". The ethics of many would NOT be exemplary. 1st one has to define what success is in the realm of whatever the subject. I contend that most wealthy (if you use that measure) recognized an opportunity to create or obtain a choke point in a new growing industry. An old adage "Behind every great family fortune is a great crime. " I'm NOT saying all are like this, but $ buys PR, coverups, & death
I hope this was SUPPOSED to be a parody, because NONE of these attributes has helped me one iota. The notion that, for example, if you have passion for and simply DO what you're good at (etc.) ". . . the money [or "success"] will [automatically] come is at best a half-axiom, and in my cas is nothing but pure, 100% Bovine Stool (B.S.). Furthermore, all "paying your dues" will accomplish is "going bankrupt". This guy is nothing more than a con-artist!
I really loved this concept, and the way he presents it. Everyone should hear these things. If anyone wants to know more about the secrets to success, check out my channel, and you can get my new, free eBook, that is a short but informative summary of the best books on success. Wish a life of love and success to all of you :)
Not everyone can be successful i.e. welathy in a capitalist society... Duh, If one person wins, it usually means alot of other people lose.. Tis logical.
@surrrfia then you are not serving, are you? The point of serve is to provide something people WANT. You do it, they want it they get it you both win.
This is great and should be played for all our children, who sometimes forget ( well more than sometimes) that things don't just drop in your lap! You need to do all these things and then some to be successful!
What a great short video. I would love to see the long version. So simple and I love how even the visuals are simple. Thank you so much for sharing this short and powerful video! I will remember to use these 8 steps to success to empower me to go forward with what I love... this is helping people become healthy with super foods!
So I have to work and enjoy it? Holy Sh*t this guy is a genius! lol give me a break. They have a board at my job where they do employee profiles and 99% of the time the advice is either passion or love what you do. In those exact same words. This is not advice, these are cliches. This would be like a furniture instruction manual just saying "Build it".
@robotpanda77 Your post is dripping with cynicism. I would wager that with your attitude, you are not going to be one of those successful people. Richard has it exactly right. Success is not easy but it IS simple and those 8 words are indeed the keys to success.
Perhaps you should consider what all these successful people are saying before you discount it as cliche.
If you really think you will ever succeed with the power of a useless cliche, then by all means waste your life. You don't teach someone how to swim by telling them to love it or work at it, that advice forces them to learn everything on their own, and is thus, not true advice. I dsilike this type of thing for one simple reason, it provides false hope and guidance to those that need it most. Snake oil disguised as medicine.
I'm not hearing the same advice that you are. You're hearing "Love what you're doing now" while I'm hearing "Do what you love." You're right in that the former is an over-used cliche, the weapon of an unimaginative manager, but it's not what this guy is saying.
I think you misunderstood. And, believe me, I worked in an office were they spent thousands on "Fish Philosophy" have-fun-at-work bullshit just so they could use it as a club to further beat the employees ("See? It's your fault you're not having fun!"). You don't have to love what you do, you've got to do what you love. Sometimes that means putting up with a shitty job to pay for the things you want to do.
I still don't think it really qualifies as a "secret to success" though do you? I mean telling someone to do what they like is kind of "duh" isn't it? That would be like the waiter telling me to order what I like. It makes sense, but it doesn't really advance my potential for success.
Is it a secret to success? Absolutely not. The claim is that it's a common factor amongst successful people. That's logical. If you want to "Succeed" at something you either love it, or you find a way to invest hours of time and tons of effort into something you don't like... which eventually you will despise with all your heart.
Why? You'd learn it even faster if you applied these vague concepts to the best of your understanding and came back afterward with questions.. no over-thinking is necessary
This is the distillation, the essence and a great summation as well as starting point and checklist of getting to the heart of what makes for success.
Quick and concise, excellent message. Short enough to capture a teenager's attention. All you Moms out there, share this with your kids. I'm posting it on my kids' Facebooks!
Good, but I believe he missed one key element: You have to have the audacity to believe you just might succeed. You have to have at least a hint of the idea that you have whatever it takes, which I believe everyone does; but YOU have to have the faith that YOU have it.
@Kiwichico Smart man...No matter what you say, however, most people will give you a thumbs down for such a comment. Truth is something that we seem to run from for some reason...
@vortexx76 Thanks for your comment. Well if someone gave me a thumbs down please explain. If you go to a factory in India all of these points would have been met. As for the example of Bill Gates according to Malcom Gladwell, the author of Blink. Gates happen to come across the idea at the right time at the right place with the right contacts. Its your environment that makes a difference. I guess my comment removed hope. But there is hope move to a different environment.
Good start, but to be truly successful, you have to adapt to this changing world we live in. This also applies to business of course where adapting or setting the trends is what keeps you on top.
"Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people." -Thomas Barnett
I think this is an interesting formula but is in some ways short sighted. One of the major problems facing those who have achieved the level of mastery that would be defined as success is that completely mastering only one thing will eventually lead to some level of failure. Idea's move the world. You need to experience more then just what you perceive as being essential to your goal. This is how great innovations are made.
Success comes to every one in thousand or one in ten-thousand. Some DO work for it sure (although others have it thrown in their lap, or inherit it.) But there is no formula for success.
In fact most people can be happy if they push by comfortably. But lots and lots can work their ass off, do all the right things, and then get laid off and get in trouble in their old age.
True success is just something you get or you don't. No matter what self-help people say.
your definition of success is not the same as other peoples. what you define as success sounds like fame and fortune. thats not my idea of success and i think every single person on this planet can be a success. like you say there is no formula and this is because SUCCESS means a different thing to every person and the individual path their life takes.
@crafeckinsickofthis I dont think he clearly defines success, rather what leads to it. The fact that he quoted so many people who had fame and fortune might have led to to think that way. Even to be the most successful janitor in a company, he would incorporate most of the things that he just stated. Success simply means getting what you want. I do agree with you that success is different to every person.
Shavarnarak, i don't totally agree, sure it happens the way u say , but in that case u can't say u never tried it, and that nalone is aa success in a way don't u think?
Dude, NOBODY wants to hear that, even if there's more than a grain of truth to it.
At issue isn't a formula for success, it's a formula for maximizing your chances of success. Crossing your fingers and hoping that you're lucky isn't much of a strategy, and most people aren't going to be born into rich families. So, they only have one alternative left open (the work-hard bit) and the advice here will help them to maximize their chances, even if you believe they're still pretty low.
We make certain assumptions about how we define success. Most seem to be talking about the success of the bourgeois mindset: money making, prestige, status, etc. Success is possible outside this 'Babbitt' model.
As one example, Bohemian types may be 'successful' and yet have none of those criteria. Alan de Botton talks about this in his book 'Status Anxiety', and there are many others.
What you forget is you don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about. Ruthless assholes come from every sector of civilization - not all businessmen are anything, other than businessmen.
You obviously have not read the Millionaire Mind. The premise of that book (a polling among the wealthiest millionaires) is that integrity is seen as the #1 character trait among this group. So stop watching Dallas and JR and buying into the idea that being ruthless is the only way.
Richard Branson and Bill Gates not only had the resources but have great parents. So its best to surround yourself with great mentors and good resources. If you are surrounded by trash you are going to think trash. If you are surrounded by success you are more likely going to succeed.
I just watched Anthony Robbins. I agree one needs to take advantage of the resources around them. In hard circumstances some people can rely on their intiative but a lot of people need to be shown how to be resourceful. The reason why people are still poor is because they can't see a way out, no one has shown it to them, not because they are lazy. We can be heavily influenced by great teachers and good parenting. So its best to surround yourself with great mentors and good resources.

12-If you cant do what you love, then learn to LOVE what you do.
you can add more to the list. The world is not equal, some get lucky, some are born rich, some lose it all.
but i agree with @surrrfia

I really loved this concept, and the way he presents it. Everyone should hear these things. If anyone wants to know more about the secrets to success, check out my channel, and you can get my new, free eBook, that is a short but informative summary of the best books on success. Wish a life of love and success to all of you :)

Not everyone can be successful i.e. welathy in a capitalist society... Duh, If one person wins, it usually means alot of other people lose.. Tis logical.

@surrrfia then you are not serving, are you? The point of serve is to provide something people WANT. You do it, they want it they get it you both win.

David3011989 1 year ago
So I have to work and enjoy it? Holy Sh*t this guy is a genius! lol give me a break. They have a board at my job where they do employee profiles and 99% of the time the advice is either passion or love what you do. In those exact same words. This is not advice, these are cliches. This would be like a furniture instruction manual just saying "Build it".
robotpanda77 1 year ago
@robotpanda77 Your post is dripping with cynicism. I would wager that with your attitude, you are not going to be one of those successful people. Richard has it exactly right. Success is not easy but it IS simple and those 8 words are indeed the keys to success.
Perhaps you should consider what all these successful people are saying before you discount it as cliche.
techboyandfriends 1 year ago
If you really think you will ever succeed with the power of a useless cliche, then by all means waste your life. You don't teach someone how to swim by telling them to love it or work at it, that advice forces them to learn everything on their own, and is thus, not true advice. I dsilike this type of thing for one simple reason, it provides false hope and guidance to those that need it most. Snake oil disguised as medicine.
robotpanda77 1 year ago
@robotpanda77
I'm not hearing the same advice that you are. You're hearing "Love what you're doing now" while I'm hearing "Do what you love." You're right in that the former is an over-used cliche, the weapon of an unimaginative manager, but it's not what this guy is saying.

@robotpanda77
I think you misunderstood. And, believe me, I worked in an office were they spent thousands on "Fish Philosophy" have-fun-at-work bullshit just so they could use it as a club to further beat the employees ("See? It's your fault you're not having fun!"). You don't have to love what you do, you've got to do what you love. Sometimes that means putting up with a shitty job to pay for the things you want to do.
deerfieldproductions 1 year ago
I still don't think it really qualifies as a "secret to success" though do you? I mean telling someone to do what they like is kind of "duh" isn't it? That would be like the waiter telling me to order what I like. It makes sense, but it doesn't really advance my potential for success.
robotpanda77 1 year ago
@robotpanda77
Is it a secret to success? Absolutely not. The claim is that it's a common factor amongst successful people. That's logical. If you want to "Succeed" at something you either love it, or you find a way to invest hours of time and tons of effort into something you don't like... which eventually you will despise with all your heart.

Good, but I believe he missed one key element: You have to have the audacity to believe you just might succeed. You have to have at least a hint of the idea that you have whatever it takes, which I believe everyone does; but YOU have to have the faith that YOU have it.

@vortexx76 Thanks for your comment. Well if someone gave me a thumbs down please explain. If you go to a factory in India all of these points would have been met. As for the example of Bill Gates according to Malcom Gladwell, the author of Blink. Gates happen to come across the idea at the right time at the right place with the right contacts. Its your environment that makes a difference. I guess my comment removed hope. But there is hope move to a different environment.

Good start, but to be truly successful, you have to adapt to this changing world we live in. This also applies to business of course where adapting or setting the trends is what keeps you on top.

I think this is an interesting formula but is in some ways short sighted. One of the major problems facing those who have achieved the level of mastery that would be defined as success is that completely mastering only one thing will eventually lead to some level of failure. Idea's move the world. You need to experience more then just what you perceive as being essential to your goal. This is how great innovations are made.

Bah, and again bah.
Success comes to every one in thousand or one in ten-thousand. Some DO work for it sure (although others have it thrown in their lap, or inherit it.) But there is no formula for success.
In fact most people can be happy if they push by comfortably. But lots and lots can work their ass off, do all the right things, and then get laid off and get in trouble in their old age.
True success is just something you get or you don't. No matter what self-help people say.
Shavarnarak 2 years ago
your definition of success is not the same as other peoples. what you define as success sounds like fame and fortune. thats not my idea of success and i think every single person on this planet can be a success. like you say there is no formula and this is because SUCCESS means a different thing to every person and the individual path their life takes.
crafeckinsickofthis 2 years ago 30
@crafeckinsickofthis I dont think he clearly defines success, rather what leads to it. The fact that he quoted so many people who had fame and fortune might have led to to think that way. Even to be the most successful janitor in a company, he would incorporate most of the things that he just stated. Success simply means getting what you want. I do agree with you that success is different to every person.

marcosarg1 2 years ago
Dude, NOBODY wants to hear that, even if there's more than a grain of truth to it.
At issue isn't a formula for success, it's a formula for maximizing your chances of success. Crossing your fingers and hoping that you're lucky isn't much of a strategy, and most people aren't going to be born into rich families. So, they only have one alternative left open (the work-hard bit) and the advice here will help them to maximize their chances, even if you believe they're still pretty low.
deerfieldproductions 2 years ago
We make certain assumptions about how we define success. Most seem to be talking about the success of the bourgeois mindset: money making, prestige, status, etc. Success is possible outside this 'Babbitt' model.
As one example, Bohemian types may be 'successful' and yet have none of those criteria. Alan de Botton talks about this in his book 'Status Anxiety', and there are many others.

You obviously have not read the Millionaire Mind. The premise of that book (a polling among the wealthiest millionaires) is that integrity is seen as the #1 character trait among this group. So stop watching Dallas and JR and buying into the idea that being ruthless is the only way.

Richard Branson and Bill Gates not only had the resources but have great parents. So its best to surround yourself with great mentors and good resources. If you are surrounded by trash you are going to think trash. If you are surrounded by success you are more likely going to succeed.
Kiwichico 2 years ago 3
I just watched Anthony Robbins. I agree one needs to take advantage of the resources around them. In hard circumstances some people can rely on their intiative but a lot of people need to be shown how to be resourceful. The reason why people are still poor is because they can't see a way out, no one has shown it to them, not because they are lazy. We can be heavily influenced by great teachers and good parenting. So its best to surround yourself with great mentors and good resources.
