Success is a lasting wave - Focusing Your Energy Towards Success

I encourage it. You can make me break out into a
sweat if you want to and bring me out of my comfort
zone. If you can do that, I will see this lecture as
successful. I will have learned what your point of
view is in relation to my thesis, if you can poke holes
in it and force me to reconsider my position. You are
in the middle of your comfort zone, and if you’re
agreed, then I can loosen you up a little, and perhaps
even provoke you. The first question is already out
there. Why are you here?
Student: “So that we can earn money later.”
HM: ”Okay, that’s an important point. Many of you
probably have this same goal. I can tell you,
however, that if you only have this goal alone you
will not be successful. Money follows people and
people who only follow money never go anywhere at
all. If you have something to offer, for example a
talent or a product that others can find worth in,
then others will pay for your services and money will
find its way to you. If you just want to go out and
make a lot of money and forget that you need a plan
to make it work, then you will not achieve your goal.
This is an important distinction. Getting money is a
natural consequence of a job well done.”
