Richard St. John is an analyst who condensed 7 years of research and 500 interviews into a 3 minutes slide presentation exploring what& #39;s the secret to success.

I took that presentation and broke it down in only 8 tweets.

Let& #39;s find out the SECRET TO SUCCESS. A thread.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">
PASSION.

One of his interviewees, Carol Coletta, said "I would pay someone to do what I do."

The best part? In most cases, if you do it for love, the money comes anyway.
WORK

Another interviewee, Rupert Murdoch, told him, "It& #39;s all hard work. Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun."

Successful people are not workaholics, they& #39;re workafrolics.
GOOD

Alex Garden said, "To be successful, put your nose down in something and get damn good at it."

There& #39;s no magic; it& #39;s practice and repetition.
FOCUS

Norman Jewison said to him, "I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing."

You won& #39;t succeed if your attention is split between multiple goals.

Do one. Then another, Then another.
PUSH

David Gallo says, "Push yourself. Physically, mentally, you& #39;ve got to push, push, push."

Keep pushing no matter what.
SERVE

Richard himself believes that "You can& #39;t serve yourself; you& #39;ve got to serve others something of value. Because that& #39;s the way people really get rich."

What value are you offering?
IDEAS

There& #39;s no magic in coming up with ideas.

Usually, it& #39;s just doing some very simple things. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">
PERSIST

You& #39;ve got to persist through failure.

People who give up early won& #39;t see the benefits. The problem? You will never know if you are close to succeeding or not.
Hopefully you found this thread somewhat inspiring. I really enjoyed Richard& #39;s original TED talk and thought I should give my own spin to it.
