Richard St. John: Secrets of success

Recommended Posts

Richard St. John looks at the big 8 things that lead to success:

  1. Passion: Do it for love not for the money. If you do it for love, the money comes anyway
  2. Work: Enjoy working hard. Successful people aren’t workaholics they’re workafrolics
  3. Good: Be good at what you do. Practice, practice, practice
  4. Focus: Focus on one thing; go for it!
  5. Push: Push yourself; push through shyness and self-doubt
  6. Serve: Serve others something of value
  7. Ideas: Have a bright idea. Coming up with ideas involves doing some very simple things: listen, observe, be curious, ask questions, problem solve, and make connections
  8. Persist: Persist though failure, criticism, rejection, assholes and pressure

These were the answers that successful people gave him during interviews. I would argue that another important factor which they would not self-report is luck, simply being in the right place at the right time. However, that's obviously something you cannot control, unlike all the other factors on his list.
