I have to admit it. I am very fortunate. I was able to find 177 heroes to worship. They are the self-made millionaires in my study who taught me right from wrong, good habits from bad habits and the right path vs. the wrong path. They act like success mentors, teaching you what to do and what not to do in life.
Each success hero you find can inspire you, motivate you, direct you. They force you to look inward – to learn more about your strengths and weaknesses and the good and bad inside of you.
Everyone needs a success hero. And the amazing thing is that you don’t have to follow just one. As I learned, the more the merrier. Where can you find your success heroes? The good news is that they are all around you. You can find them by volunteering – they are on boards of non-profit groups. You can find them at the workplace, those exceptional employees, bosses or clients/customers just doing their job and doing it well. You can find them in classrooms teaching or learning. They’re alive in books that inspire and motivate. They teach at seminars, or they run webinars, or host podcasts. Anyone trying hard to improve their lives can be added to your hero list. When you find one, study how they live their lives, how they manage their lives, how they work, who they surround themselves with, what they do every day. Get to know them. It’s never too late. Find your success hero today. Follow their breadcrumbs. Those breadcrumbs will steer you in the right direction and help you find success in your life.
