The 1 thing all successful people have in common

What is the 1 thing all successful people have in common?

I saw the Grammy nominee and Country Music Award winner Ashley McBride give her first ever performance at the Grand Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee.

Prior to one of her performances she noted how when she was in school her Algebra teacher asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up. She said a country singer. Her teacher told her to find a backup plan.

During the performance, Ashley joked that she thought her teacher said a “backup band.”

I also recall a recent interview I heard with Aaron Rodgers when he talked about a college professor telling him he would never make the NFL.

If you read the history of Tom Brady, you’ll see he had no less than 1,000 chances of never being in the NFL. He barely made his college football team. His college coach barely started him and wouldn’t let him play the full games. He was drafted in the 6th of 7 rounds in the NFL. If you even watch his playoff and Super Bowl games, many of those came down to one play.

What’s the thing they all had in common?

Doubters, Haters, And Adversity

Part of the journey in achieving great success is dealing with others doubting you. It’s a given. But, don’t let that stop you. Don’t let that discourage you.

Once you know it’s a given part of the success formula, you can learn to embrace it. It’s an opportunity for you to overcome, to be something more, to be something bigger.

And how many times have we overcome something and been able to look back with pride and confidence as to what we were able to accomplish.

So embrace the adversity. Embrace the naysayers.
And keep on keeping on.
