Manny Khosbin advice

Adding value →
While the desire to make money is great, if you don’t add value to the world, you’ll never succeed. The most successful people in life have added the most value. There’s always a way to add value in whatever it is you’re doing as long as you concentrate on the long term rather than taking shortcuts or expecting hand outs. Never think short term and always consider adding value if you want to truly succeed in life.

99% is Persistence →
You are going to be successful because you are driven and persistent. This is 99% of it and you have it. Keep it going.
Be Stubborn. Too many people give up before they reach their goal. Remind yourself daily on why you are doing this in the first place.
You might want to write out your big “Why” and tack it to the wall in front of your desk, to be reminded daily of why you are working hard to achieve your dreams.

Big goals →
Set your goals so big that people laugh at them. And then trim out the people in your life who don’t want to help you get there. Back to the point you are who you hang out with so get rid of the people who think your goals are ridiculous as they will only get in your way to success. Dream big and fail until you get there. You can only grow from failure and those who laughed before will try to return with envy.

Long term →
You can’t drive from point A to B if you can’t see where you’re going.
So plan every step of the journey to achieving each one of your 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20-year goals.

Check in Every Week. Once a week sit down with your goal list and see if you’re on the right path. Make adjustments, decide what needs to be done and let your subconscious find the solutions and paths to achieving your goals throughout the week.

We should have the path between our current positions and our 20-year goals clearly defined. If our goals are the vehicle to get us where we want to go, the action plans act like headlights illuminating the path we’re traveling.

Average goal-setting techniques create average results
You need to be more aggressive in charting exactly where you want to be in 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 years. “Set goals you can 100 percent commit to each year, and then stick to them.

The beginning →
The Beginning is the Hardest: The first $4-$5 million is the hardest, the rest is easier. Success breeds new opportunities.
