There are often a number of factors holding someone back from achieving the success that they have the potential to achieve, and often these are success myths. London-based customer acquisition specialists, Source Marketing Direct have dispelled these success myths that are holding people back.
The firm teaches their contractors the skills and motivation to develop into excellent leaders – set up for future success. Source Marketing Direct’s Businesses Development Opportunity has had an incredibly high success rate, and has helped a vast amount of young people excel with and even open their own businesses.
However, the firm admits that success myths are still ever-present in today’s working environment, and here they set straight some of the most common fables so that the misconceptions do not hold people back:
1) Talent doesn’t matter
One of the most overheard sayings in business is ‘hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard’, but that’s hardly the case if a 4 foot 3 accountant has the aspiration to play in the NBA. Source Marketing Direct are strong believers of focusing on individual strengths, and here hard work will most probably result in overtaking fellow employees and career progression.
2) You have to be humble
Most people appear humble on the outside as it is not seen as classy to be arrogant or cocky in the business world. However, Source Marketing Direct states that although this is true, it is also important to develop genuine, or ‘real’ humility that comes from within. This is often developed through and the result of taking the time to learn and develop as a person, and from putting in the necessary man hours of hard work. The phrase ‘knowledge is power’, although rather cheesy, embodies this outlook. Source Marketing Direct believes that by avoiding short cuts on the road to success, the final reward will be far greater than that of those who cut corners and conducted business abrasively to get to the top.
3) Positive thinking = success
Although true in theory, thinking something over and over again – irrespective of how positive – will obviously not make it an instant reality. Source Marketing Direct argues that positive thinking is absolutely necessary, but only in conjunction with actual physical effort. Wanting isn’t enough – there are plenty of professionals out there that tend to crave instant gratification without putting in the hard work, commitment and effort it takes to turn an idea into a successful business.
