Success Happens Over Time With Planning Persistence and Patience. (Steve Harvey Motivational Speech)Recommended readings on successful goal setting: ( affiliate links)https://amzn.to/35f39oQThe Motivation Code: Discover the Hidden Forces That Drive Your Best Work: https://amzn.to/2R2zQxBHow Long Does it Really Take to Become a Successful?As of late, I’ve had a lot of people asking me how long it’s taken me to become a successful freelancer. I find that the answer is quite subjective based on what your definition of success is, but I’m going to try my best to find an average based on personal experience and available data.Defining SuccessFor the sake of example, let’s say that your idea of success is simply making a profit. In that case, I was able to do that as soon as my first year as a freelancer.On the other hand, let’s say your idea of success is being able to pay for your living expenses. That may take a little longer, but in this day and age it can still be done rather quickly.Now, let’s say you want to make six figures in revenue. I might get close to that this year, but it’s taken me a few years to do it. I’ve heard other six-figure freelancers say it’s taken them about five to six years to reach get to six-figure status.See what I mean by the answer depending on what success means to you? Everyone has a different definition and different circumstances in their lives that can affect how long it takes them to become a successful freelancer.Rule of ThumbWhile there is no clear-cut answer to how long it takes to become a successful freelancer, there is a rule of thumb for most businesses when it comes to profitability. That rule of thumb is that it takes an average of three years for a business to become profitable, assuming they even make it past the first year.This seems to be in line with my own experience. While I was making a profit from the beginning, the first two years were pretty hard in terms of revenue and expenses. Most of the money would go back into the business and I had little for myself.When I started going into year three, things changed drastically. Suddenly people were approaching me for work without me having to hustle as hard as before. About three months into the third year I’d tripled the monthly revenue from the year before. Now that I’m about to celebrate my three year anniversary as a full-time freelancer, I’m on track to double my revenue from last year.I also had a mentor who always told me “Just make it to year three and you’ll be fine.” I now see why she said that.How to Become a Successful FreelancerJust like there’s no clear-cut answer to determine how long it takes to become a successful freelancer, there’s also no clear cut formula on how to do it. However, here are some of the traits I’ve seen among successful freelancers:Consistency. Successful freelancers are consistent. They are consistent in their work, consistent in the hustle and consistent in building their own brands. All the little actions they’ve taken over time eventually reach a tipping point.Resiliency. Successful freelancers are resilient. That means they keep going even if they failed somewhere along the way.Always striving to improve. Successful freelancers are always striving to improve usually by means of educating themselves and seeking mentors.Take action. Successful freelancers don’t just dream about having a successful freelance business, they take action.These four traits are the ones I see time and time again in successful freelancers. They are also the traits that certainly help them become successful much faster. (Amanda Abella)

"Good habits happen when planned; bad habits happen on their own." ~Grunburg This Frequently Asked Friday throws it back to a core concept: How long does it take to develop a good habit? (For more on this topic, check out Season 4's What Is Habitstrength? and What's the Best Way to Build a Good Habit?, and Season 2's How Long Does it Really Take to Build a Good Habit?) Building a good habit DOESN'T take a week, or 14 days, or the mythical 21 days some like to tout. The 21-day myth, in particular, gained traction thanks to its inclusion in Psycho-Cybernetics, by Dr. Maxwell Maltz, who said, "It usually requires a minimum of about 21 days to effect any perceptible change in a mental image.”  Newer research actually points to 66 days to create a habit, but even this isn't a fixed number. What's critical is hitting all three major components to building a habit (according to Stephen Covey in his 7 Habits of Highly Successful People): desire, knowledge, skill—or as we've tweaked the formula, the capacity to do the work. Listen in to learn how PARR is the framework for creating a good new habit, what elements must be present, how the Habit Factor methodology breaks through all the myths, and how long it REALLY takes to build a good new habit.    Enjoy the episode! *** New listeners: By texting the word "HABITS" to the mobile phone number "33444" you will instantly receive your "hack"/habit tracker/habit development template, or you can download it here: thehabitfactor.com/templates.

Habits are much more powerful than most of us realize. This behavioral economics podcast is about habits and habitual buying. It is another one of my behavioral economics foundations podcasts. When a lot of us think of habits, we focus on bad habits, but we actually have more good habits than bad. Our subconscious does about 99% of the brain’s processing and this applies to habits and buying habits. I am going to break this down for you to make sure it is super applicable for your business – including the different strategies you should use if you are the market leader versus someone trying to break in. They are very different! I also talk about how businesses make the mistake of focusing on what’s new instead of the habitual buying habits, and how you can use buying habits to improve your business and marketing. CLICK THE IMAGE FOR YOUR FREE DOWNLOAD! Show Notes [09:00] The subconscious brain does about 99% of the brain’s processing. [09:41] If 99% of decisions are made using these automatic rules, based on the way things have been done in the past and what has worked…clearly a lot of the buying decisions you (and your customers) make must be done automatically. [11:01] Even with infrequent purchases, the place you go and look is based on habit. [11:50] An association in the brain that triggered an action (or a desire to take an action). That is essentially all a habit is. [12:17] The human brain essentially works on many, many associations. [13:29] Your brain sorts through tons of information and concepts – all the things it is NOT looking for until it finds what it is looking for. [14:49] In reality, 95% of all buying decisions are HABITUAL. Far too many companies and brands are focusing on the 5% - the “new” and “different” and “getting people to consciously make a decision and change” than working on being in the 95% of habitual purchases. [16:33] What is a habit? The official definition is “a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up” [18:23] Maltz, a plastic surgeon in the 1950s noticed it took about 21 days for his patients to get used to their new noses. [18:48] His book Psycho-Cybernetics said, “These, and many other commonly observed phenomena tend to show that it requires a minimum of about 21 days for an old mental image to dissolve and a new one to jell.” [19:15] NOTE: He said a minimum of about 21 days. [20:28] Our brains have a habit of using the 21 days as a reference even though there's a mountain of evidence against it. [20:54] We have been attacking habits wrong. [21:55] A 2009 study from The European Journal of Social Psychology found the average number of days it took to form a habit (in their case it was eating fruit at lunch or running 15 minutes a day) was 66. [22:17] This is where framing can kill you. You hear an average and think great that's the number. [22:40] There are more questions that you need to ask. Such as what was the range of days when coming up with that average. The range for this study was 18 to 254 days. [24:57] Essentially, all habits are made up of four phases: Cue, Craving, Response, and Reward. [25:41] The human brain is driven by rewards. [26:24] A cue is a signal to the brain that there is a reward around. And that instantly leads to a craving. [26:50] Cravings can be hard to ignore. It can quickly become all your conscious brain can focus on. [27:03] When you give in to the craving and the brain gets the reward, you have a double whammy because you have just reinforced the original cue to make it even more powerful the next time. [27:42] The thing we have done WRONG in addressing habits in the past is to try and change the response. [27:59] If you want to change a habit or start a new one, the CUE and REWARD phases are where it’s at. [28:44] To help stop doing something you need to find the cues that encourage you to do it. [29:27] Cues have been found to fall into one of five categories: Location, Time, Emotional State, Other People, and An Immediately Preceding Action. [29:53] List the ques of each category by asking yourself questions. [31:00] We actually aren't craving the thing we think we are craving but the reward that it provides. [32:16] Ask what the reward is that your brain is seeking. [36:22] “No, I can’t drink soda…” Or, the very subtle difference of, “No, I don’t drink soda.” [37:38] “I can’t” is not your choice. It is instead a restriction. “I don’t” is empowering. This was your choice. It affirms the choice you made and makes you feel determined, full of willpower. [40:09] By turning off notifications and eliminating the cue, I can work longer and be more productive. [42:19] You don't want to mess with people who habitually buy your product. You can create cues with product placement. [44:04] It's possible to lose a habitual buyer by offering them more choices and triggering them to think about other brands. [45:47] Brand leaders shouldn't do too much to rock the boat. [46:36] Jones soda has a large cult following by being unique. They also interjected themselves during a cue like at a sports game. When you aren't the market leader you have to try harder and put in some hustle to break the buying cycle. [48:40] It's important to consider your customers habits when building out your strategies.

[02:36-04:33] Why Barney Doesn’t Subscribe to The ‘Starving Artist’ Myth Many people believe it’s impossible to make a living from art and refer back to the image of ‘the starving artist’ to make their point. But is this really the case...or is it just a myth we need to move away from in our careers? In this chapter, Barney explains why he believes any artist can turn their creativity into a sustainable business with the right approach to marketing and networking. [05:56-12:47] What Type of Art Should You be Making to Have a Successful Career? The fine art business can be confusing at first. On one hand, you see abstract or controversial works changing hands for millions, while on the other, you see artists struggling to get their work accepted in galleries or make sales.

Even though you love making art, becoming a professional artist and carving out a creative career might not be the best route for you to take. Why? In this chapter, Barney explains how to be honest with yourself and establish whether you have a viable art business or not. [32:21-34:14] What if You Aren’t Prepared to Market Yourself as an Artist? Love making art but don’t want to market yourself? Then here comes the cold water.
