“Success doesn’t come by wishing and wanting… it comes by doing.”
I honestly don’t remember where exactly I saw or heard that. I must have been in a hurry though because I wrote it just that way in my phone notes app… with no further explanation. I usually write more so I can refer back to it later. Regardless, the fact of the quote does not change – success requires work.
I’m in the middle of a book right now sent to me by an industry friend whom many of you will know. His name is Gene Lumsden, and the book is called “Grand: How to Take Your Shot at the American Dream.” Gene signed it and sent it to me a while back and I’ve been reading it now over the past few days.
I knew from many conversations with him that Gene had experienced a lot of success in his life, but I just didn’t know “how much” success, until I read his book. If you know him, you may know some of his history, but if you don’t, well, he’s the quintessential American success story. He didn’t get it by wishing or wanting, he got it by doing. |
