Doing the Advanced Work
It's a natural feeling to want to be successful in life. We constantly set goals, both short and long term, that hopefully lead to success. Sometimes they're short, quick wins and other times they are long term goals that lead to success such as saving for retirement. Time and time again I hear people call others "lucky" or "fortunate" when they achieve success. Is it really simply a matter of luck that leads to success? I don't think so. Sure, I'll agree that in almost any victory, a little bit of luck helps. We all deal with small fires or bumps while achieving our goals. We all have someone that mentors us, watches over us or gives helps to crack open the door. What you do with that opportunity is up to each of us. But, if you just sit back and wait for that door to be opened then you may never reach your goals. So, what can you do to help achieve your goals, both short and long term achievements? I'd argue it's all in the advanced work. It's in the preparation and practice that you do leading up to achieving your goal.
