Andrew Carnegie’s Success Secret

by Mike Litman

Take the shortcut.

“Mike, what are you talking about?”

History and the present day offer so many individuals we
can learn from and use their knowledge to SHORTCUT our
success.

Make sense, yes or yes?

Good.

Onward.

One of the individuals from history is steel magnate Andrew
Carnegie.

Today we’re not going to judge if he was a perfect person
or not. Today we’re going to dig in and see what made him
the richest person of his day. Financial riches.

We can see the ‘Carnegie Mindset’ through many of Napoleon
Hill’s books, though today I want to share with you ONE
PHRASE Carnegie used in the past that can help you.

Greatly.

I’ve used this principle for years and it’s the
foundational principal of my business.

Gates, Oprah, Steve Jobs, all have used it as well.

***Carnegie’s Success Secret You Should Use TODAY

These are his words.

“An obsessional desire to render useful service.”

Wow.

Look at those words.

Obsessional.

Useful.

When you seek to serve and understand how to do that in a
profitable way, your financial upside becomes ENORMOUS.
(read this again)

Find a solution you can offer. Build yourself. Seek to
share that solution with as many people as you can.

Become ‘obsessional’ about changing people’s lives.

Become useful to other’s. Let your VALUE be clear to them.

“An obsessional desire to render useful service.”

Can you become more useful? How?

If you really believed in what you sell, how could you
double your ‘audience’ (leads, prospects, clients), within
30 days, even 14 days?

Do you want to become more ‘obsessional’ about rendering
useful service? If yes, what is one action you could take
today to get going?

Knowledge is potential power. Power is knowledge organized
and applied.

Keep gaining knowledge. Keep applying what you learn. 1
point at a time.

Carnegie’s secret works, will you commit to working it for
the next 30 days?

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

Thanks, Mike. I have a note on my computer that has made a world of difference in what I do. It says “Believe that what you are doing works!” That is true and when you are doing something you really believe in, it gets in your blood and you can’t wait to touch people and change their lives, too!

Thanks for sharing. This is an important thought to remember in a society where it has become barely noticeable. And boy does it make a world of difference.

Mike,
You are superb at reminding us of what we already know! We are all here to do something spectacular. If we follow what our intuition tells us, we can do amazing things by using that principle.

Thank you for being you,

Leanna

Hey Mike!

You did it again! An absolutely great reminder for all of us.

Brian Tracy in his book “21 Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” (like you, Mike) stressed on this quite a bit. It was a recurring theme in all of the secrets.

If you’d like to know all 21 Secrets, read 21 Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires Unveiled

Mike! I’m so excited! You ask, why? Because I just created a Facebook Group dedicated to you.

Everyone let’s show Mike the appreciation he deserves and join the group “Mike Litman’s Our Coach… And We Love Him

This is really really nice and helpful. Thanks for sharing it Mike. Thumbs up!

John Clark March 14, 2008 at 3:33 am

Another great message, Mike.

Andrew Carnegie was all about desire. Making a decision to do something and then doing it.

Providing value to others while making a profit is key to any successful endeavor. And when you have people gladly parting with their money for what you are providing you are really on the right track.

Here’s to your LifetoSuccess,

The theory of success is related to good old theory of physics – law of energy.To suceed knowledge and action must go together.In physics that’s potential energy ( Knowledge ) and kinetic energy ( action ).

Bud Bilanich March 14, 2008 at 5:03 am

I love the idea of “an obsessional desire to render useful service.” I always tell my coaching clients that when you give with no expectation of return, you’ll be surprised at how much you get in return.
Great post, Mike.

Hi Mike!

Another timely word as usual! Thank you! The statement that “Knowledge is potential power. Power is knowledge organized and applied.” will resonate with me like your famous saying “You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going”. Keep up the great work Mike, you’re appreicated more than you’ll ever know!

As you have said in your Lifestyle CD – find out what they want, and give it to them: i.e. Useful service

Thanks again.

Another powerful mind influencing tool in the toolbox of self realizations. You are changing the lives of people everyday. What is profit? Certainly not into mercenary gain. After all there are two currencies in this world – money and opportunity. I take the second everytime. The former always follows. We live in a world of abundance but greed for money slows down the opportunities that exist in this world. Share and share alike – we all gain.

Olufemi March 17, 2008 at 1:50 am

Mike,
Once again you’ve delivered a succint punch in the drive for success – helping others. I sincerely believe in this philosophy, though practicalising it is another thing altogether.
