Someone once asked me the question: “How can I have more opportunities come
into my life?” Good question, but I think my answer surprised them a bit.
I bypassed the obvious (and necessary) points about hard work, persistence
and preparation. They actually were very hard workers. And they had the
great attribute of being seekers; they were on the outlook. But I felt
maybe they were missing this next and most valuable point: attraction.
I always thought opportunities and success were something you went after,
but then I found out that I needed to turn it around. Opportunities and
success are not something you go after necessarily, but something you
attract—by becoming an attractive person.
That’s why I teach development of skills. If you can develop your
skills—keep refining all the parts of your character and yourself, your
health, your relationships, etc., so that you become an attractive person
to the marketplace—you’ll attract opportunity. Opportunity will probably
seek you out. Your reputation will probably precede you and someone will
want to do business with you. All of the possibilities are there by working
on the philosophy that success is something you attract.
The key is to continue making yourself a more attractive person by the
skills you have, the disciplines you have, the personality you’ve acquired,
the character and reputation you have established, the language and speech
you use—all of that refinement makes you more attractive to the
marketplace.
Personal development is the never-ending chance to improve not only
yourself, but also to attract opportunities and affect others.
