There is one skill nowadays that is really underrated. So underrated in fact that it is probably one of the biggest contributing factors to why people think their goals are harder than they are. Combine this habit with consistency and you are ahead of 99% of people. Break down your goals. Get to the root of your goal instead of looking at the whole picture. I want to make an income online. Okay I know networking is important, I know that I need constancy, that essentially this capitalist society is a value exchange at a very basic level and that if you see someone with something 99% of the time you can copy what they did to get that same thing. And because people are motivated by money. They might just charge to teach me, or if I know them on some personal level offer me help if I act as a testimonial for them (rare but possible). So if I learn from someone, act consistently and network then if I work at it long enough then the odds are stacked in my favour. (No I don't sell courses) Or if you have a goal that involves numbers. I want to do X amount of something by X timeframe. Divide the numbers down to what you can do daily. I want to run a marathon. Workout your timeframe. Workout how much you need to increase your load everyday bit by bit to hit your goal. And if you don't reach the goal then most likely your timeframe was unrealistic. To tell if your timeframe is realistic is another topic and requires understanding your own circumstance. And what I am saying is not new or revolutionary. Simple. Broken down steps. That personally has helped me achieve some shocking results. Not overnight. But overtime. There was once a wise man that once told me. "Something you learn in a day you lose in a day, something you learn over a year you lose over a year." If you were to practice something for a week and give it up. Come back one week later and it is gone. Something you practice over a year takes a year to lose. This applies to lots of areas of life.

When you start any new endeavour and get a little bit invested in it. Be it time or money. You tend to think yourself to be at the peak of what you can learn. This feeling leaves you complacent. Leaves you behind others. You could be performing at your best but the moment you feel you are comfortable and safe, you have completely lost. Others start to overtake you. You need to keep on refining and getting better every single day. Perfect your craft. Aim high and want to be the absolute best in your field whatever it may be. Common sense I don't think anyone can argue with. But we as humans are complacent creatures. Even though we acknowledge our need for learning you will still find us at the same place. Lonely, unmotivated and feeling like you know everything. This is the state of most men if you look around. Instead of people looking for others that are successful. They look to the people they grew up with even if they have outgrown them. All of this kinda sounds cliche but if you think about it, it's true. Sometimes things that are cliche can be that way because they are true. You get a feeling it's true but it's society's way to keep you comfortable with what everyone else is doing. So you're conditioned to be uncomfortable with these truths. That is how this world works.

When it comes to anything in business, there is one thing that cannot be understated. It has helped me elevate my appointment setting and is common sense. Do this with consistency and you will beat most people around you in life. Network. You are literally only as good as the people you know around you. I met someone the other day who completely changed my perspective on doing appointment setting. He showed me all the tricks he would use and guess what. I didn't need to pay for it. It was a favour because I worked for someone else. This is the power of networking. And why paid communities are so important in a world where the internet is filled with fake people. You want to be around real people. That actually have success. And they want to make even more money teaching what they know. Capitalise on the really big online learning industry. No I don't sell a course. And not everyone that sells a course or a community has your best interest. But they are out there. I can say confidently that most if not all of the opertunities I have been given in real life and online have been a result of people that I met and knew in some way shape or form. So are you going to stay behind or get ahead and network?

On the authority of Abu Hamzah Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) — the servant of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) — that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: None of you [truly] believes until he loves for his brother that which he loves for himself. [Al-Bukhari] [Muslim] Hadith 13, 40 Hadith an-Nawawi https://sunnah.com/nawawi40:13

On the authority of Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abee Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), the grandson of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the one much loved by him, who said: I memorised from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.” [At-Tirmidhi] [An-Nasai] At-Tirmidhi said that it was a good and sound (hasan saheeh) hadeeth.
