Your comment is a post on its own

A few highlights for me

1)”success is to stubbornly stick to an approach that you find comfortable”

2) “Hype is helpful if it gets you started, but it becomes destructive when it distracts you from your focus and pulls you off on another path.”

3) “But I don’t blame the hype for that. People just need to know that the plan is not nearly as important as your determination to stick to it to reach your goals.”

Need i add anything? No,i need to absorb these issues you have raised. Thanks very much for your insight. I think i am learning something here.

Thanks once again

This is so true. It doesn’t matter what others think of the idea as long as it works for you. And that in life you just need an idea that you are willing to use to change your life for the better…

Great post as always. I won’t repeat what’s already been said here. I just wanted to mention something that has been said, but not emphasized.

There are tons of great ideas. And it seems that “hype” is just a word used to describe efforts to get us excited about the potential of those ideas. And many of these ideas really do have potential.

The problem that I have struggled with and that seems common, is that we can’t stick to one plan and follow it through.

The next thing comes down the pike, and suddenly the plan that we’ve been following is passe. We get caught up in the excitement and newness of the next great idea, and the shininess of the “old” one now looks dull by comparison.

I like to say that the key to success is to stubbornly stick to an approach that you find comfortable. Hype is helpful if it gets you started, but it becomes destructive when it distracts you from your focus and pulls you off on another path.

You end up with a million starts but no follow through.

But I don’t blame the hype for that. People just need to know that the plan is not nearly as important as your determination to stick to it to reach your goals.

And, speaking from experience, this is easier said than done.

Anyway, thanks again!

Hugh
