Habits That Give You The Midas Touch

“They’re just lucky. Everything they touch turns to gold.”

How many times have you heard someone say that?

Those who realize consistent success in life are perceived to be endowed by the gods with some magical power or some type of perpetual good luck. Everything they do just seems to work out in their favor all the time, over and over again.

But, when you peel the onion, as I have been doing since 2004, you begin to understand there is something much more fundamental at work – habits.

Habits are repetitive routines. Often repetitive daily routines.

When those habits are the right habits, meaning, habits that give you the Midas Touch, guess what? Those repetitive habits are going to produce repetitive success.
