Success Comes From Within
Success comes from within… not from the outside…
I hear of so many people wanting to quit programs because their sponsor is not there for them, or is no longer with the program.
Let me give you a clue, folks. Your sponsor is not responsible for your success. Your chosen program is not responsible for your success. You, and YOU alone are responsible for your success.
Being an Entrepreneur is about taking the lead and leading, not following. Leaders gather their resources and then they take action. They don’t need anyone to tell them what to do, when to do it, or how to do it – they just do it. Their bosses used to tell them what to do. As an Entrepreneur, you are your own boss – you give the directions to yourself now.
Success is a mindset. Just as failure is a mindset. You have to have a successful mindset in order to be successful. If you have a failure mindset, then no matter what you do, you will be destined to fail.
Our brains are like a programmable mechanism. What you feed it, determines the outcome from it. If you program yourself with thoughts of “I’m not worthy”, “I don’t deserve it”, “I can’t do this”, “I’ll never get this right”, “I’ll never be as successful as so and so”, or anything of the like, then situations will present themselves to prove you right. And vice versa – if you program yourself with thoughts of “I am successful”, “I am worthy”, “I am deserving”, “I can do this”, then situations will present themselves to prove you right.
You have to decide to be successful. You have to decide that you are worth it and deserve it. You have to decide that you can and will do it. You have to decide to be more successful than you’ve ever been before.
One thing you can do, is stop comparing yourself to others. Because, let me tell you, you will never measure up to someone else. But, guess what? You’re not supposed to. You are YOU. You are not like others, and others are not like you. We are all individuals and we should treat ourselves as such.
I understand that there is a lot of competition out there and that we have had it beat in our brains since birth that we need to be better than someone else. But in all reality, the only one we are in competition with is ourselves. If we can just be better than ourselves each day than we were the day before, that’s what it’s all about.
We have to stop looking to outside sources to “make” us a success. Success is all about you and what you want. Not what your parents want, not what your co-workers want, not what your neighbors want, but what YOU want.
If YOU want to be a success, look within yourself and ask yourself if that is what you truly want. Do you really want that success? Are you ready for success? Are you comfortable with success? Do you really want to be an Entrepreneur, your own boss? Are you really comfortable making the kind of money you envision making? Are you ready to change your mindset – everything that you have known so far to be “true”? I know it can be done. Do you?
It’s all up to you. You just have to decide that you want it and then do it. Believe in yourself and you’ll fly high. You can be a success if you choose to be. Success comes from within, it starts with you, and it ends with you.

As always, you hit the nail on the head, Kelli! “Success is a mindset. Just as failure is a mindset.” You could not be more right.
As a newbie entrepreneur, this is pretty much my mantra – I AM successful because I work hard for it and I deserve it. I’m just starting out, but I feel that I am already successful thus far in my journey because of that attitude. I have 2 wonderful, steady, valuable clients because I made it my goal (responsibility) to have clients like that in my life. I succeed in what I do because when I come up against an obstacle that others might call a failure, I choose (yes CHOOSE) to use it as an opportunity to learn and I turn that failure into a success.
And I live this way without gauging my success by comparing what I’ve done to what others deem as success. I tell ya, if I DID constantly compare myself to others and put myself down because I’m not emulating what they call success, I know I’d be a totally different person living an unfulfilled life. I like who I am, and where I’m at, just as any successful person should (regardless of their income, the size of their house, or the kind of car they drive).
So thanks, Kelli, for putting another well thought-out, positive, motivational message out there. I always enjoy your blog!
Thank you so much, Marie! =) I enjoy writing these posts. I usually only write if something sparks the flow so to speak… And sometimes, these subjects just really speak to me.
I think if we all learned to stop comparing ourselves to others in order to gauge our “success”, we’d all be much better off. Sometimes, though, it’s easier said than done. But if we can just keep working on it, soon, it won’t be so hard to do.
I think personally, because of the development I’ve had in myself, the changes I have seen in me… I am sooooo successful! Wow!
Thanks for reading, Marie! I hope you enjoy all the future posts! =)
