“Not everyone who does a thing knows how to succeed at it. There is a how to do (productivity) that is far more different than just merely doing (activity). Success comes from knowing the difference between the two.”

Much more than work, succeeding at what we work on is critical to living a life with meaning (Quality Life). Everyone can start a business, but how many make it as successful entrepreneurs?  Everyone can start a family, but how many make it as successful parents? Everyone can survive on earth, but how many live a quality life? Have you ever wondered why two people involved in the same activity, task, occupation, vocation, work or profession achieve different results? Have you ever wondered why two kids from the same parent raised in the same home often grow up with different outcomes in life? Ever wondered why two companies established on the same business model accomplish varying tasks? What does it take to really succeed at just about anything?

ANSWER: The answer is very simple and also found in the question itself. To succeed at just about anything, learn how to succeed at just about anything!

There you go. Simple as ABC. Nothing more, nothing else. You cannot succeed at doing any particular thing if you never took the time to learn how success is achieved or attained in that particular field, area or sphere of life. It’s so obvious many people don’t see it. How else do you intend to succeed at doing a thing you never knew how to do successfully? What you must understand is that ‘doing a thing’ and ‘doing a thing successfully’ is not one and the same thing! Both require knowledge, but of different kinds. The kind of knowledge that equips you ‘to do’ is quite different by a large extent from the kind of knowledge that equips you ‘to successfully do’. A lot of people wander through life never gaining the full understanding of this simple truth about success. The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t is no other than this; ‘those who succeed learn how to do things successfully while those who don’t only learn how to do things’. For success to really happen, there have to be an element of success in your preparation. That element of success is the patience to learn how to do whatever it is you need to do successfully. ‘To do’ and to ‘to do successfully’ are not one and the same thing. Your success begins
