Imagine that this person was sent to you as a REAL LIFE example of: “I can do it, so can you!!!”
I met someone today who I deeply admire and whose accomplishments I wish I had. He has been a huge success in business since he was practically a child. He rocks big and small businesses alike. He has an AWESOME family, he’s super smart, and he travels the world.
In a singular moment, my biggest accomplishments in life looked like a 5th-grade science project. I wished I had something to offer that sounded brilliant. I was dying for some validation that I was even capable of creating something amazing. I started to become discouraged. He’s got something I haven’t…
And then I stopped to consider that this is the OPPOSITE of an appropriate reaction. It’s more likely that the reason I’m talking with this amazing person is to get the message that I can do it, too! Duh!
So, I started thinking – what if I tried listening to this marvelous friend as a peer- not an underling. If I started noticing – Do I say the same kinds of things that he says? Do I have the same poise? The same confidence? The same kindness?

I may not be able to replicate his results tomorrow, but I can certainly take tips on how he is being and acting right now.
It reminds me of the quote in the uber-suspenseful survival movie with Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin – “The Edge”. Hopkins is a VERY wealthy man in a big mess with a grizzly bear and he is freaking out. He keeps repeating to himself, “If one man can do it, so can another.” And he gets himself out! No wonder he’s so wealthy. What a great life philosophy.
So, imagine that you’re the only one counting you out! Get in!
Successful people are proof that it’s possible. Period. Now, go prove me right. Find someone successful and be like them!
Love your SUCCESS UP!
