http://simplesuccessmanifesto.eflfrog.com/how-to-be-unsuccessful

How to be Unsuccessful. What is the goal of success anyway? Most people believe that we have to work hard to be successful and then success will bring happiness. HARD WORK SUCCESS HAPPINESS. If that’s the goal, then maybe we’re not really looking for success, we’re looking for happiness. I’ll be happy when I get into university. I’ll be happy when I graduate university. I’ll be happy when I get a good job. I’ll be happy when I get a promotion. I’ll be happy when I have $100,000 in the bank. If happiness ...

The Gamification of Success | Simple Success Manifesto

http://simplesuccessmanifesto.eflfrog.com/the-gamification-of-success

The Gamification of Success. What if your real world success was just like a video game? You wouldn’t get discouraged or give up when you hit an road block. You’d just adjust and try again. Watch a child playing a video game. When their character dies, they don’t give up and never play again. Failure in a video game is a personal challenge to try again and again, until that particular obstacle is overcome. Learn to gamify your life. As you go about your day, evaluate your choice of activities on the ...

You are an Artist | Simple Success Manifesto

http://simplesuccessmanifesto.eflfrog.com/you-are-an-artist

You are an Artist. Each and every one of us is an artist, or at least can be if we so choose. Art is not only about paintings, sculpture or design. An artist brings something new into the world. Every piece of art is an small expression of who the artist is as a human being. It reveals their authentic self. Art is about exposing a piece of yourself to the world. Here is how Seth Godin defines art. 1 Art is made by a human being. 2 Art is created to have an impact, to change someone else. Making art is no...

And Now... the Bad News | Simple Success Manifesto

http://simplesuccessmanifesto.eflfrog.com/and-now-the-bad-news

And Now… the Bad News. It is easier than ever to start a business, reach a global audience and do work that makes a real difference. However, the paradox is that since it has become so accessible, it’s also much, much more competitive. Even if you do make something that the world wants to buy, expect swarms of competitors to come and do it cheaper, faster and better. The industrial age worked. It brought us abundant, inexpensive mass produced goods and services. There are no longer any significan...The c...

The Democratization of Opportunity | Simple Success Manifesto

http://simplesuccessmanifesto.eflfrog.com/the-democratization-of-opportunity

The Democratization of Opportunity. We live in a world of great abundance. Even the poor in developed countries have longer lifespans, better access to health care and more choice in food and entertainment than the super rich of just a century ago. Just look at the smart phone in your pocket. It can take photos, film video, navigate with GPS, check your emails, browse the Internet, record your voice, play video games, and a million things that you can’t even imagine. This is only the beginning. You can l...

http://simplesuccessmanifesto.eflfrog.com/keeping-up-with-indiana-jones

Keeping up with the Indiana Jones’. Quit your job, travel the world, start a revolution, do epic shit. Slogans like that are popular now, particularly from people trying to sell easy solutions to a great life. We’re encouraged to run away from our problems. Study yoga in India. Get a tattoo in Japan. Take cooking classes in France. We’ve found new ways to compete that are no different to the conspicuous consumption of the last half a century. Local weddings with family and friends are no longer sufficien...

Dare Big | Simple Success Manifesto

http://simplesuccessmanifesto.eflfrog.com/dare-big

In the preceding pages, I’ve derided the Hollywood and corporate driven ideas of success as unhealthy and unsustainable. I think few people will deny that the endless pursuit of economic growth and material consumption are not healthy for our souls and the planet, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t all aim for bigger things in life. With the internet, we all have access to a global audience, we just have to do something worthwhile to deserve attention. There are cheesy short cuts like pandering to celebr...

We are all peacocks. We’re getting tattoos, body piercings, hair transplants, breast implants or teeth whitening as biological signals to attract and impress potential mates or ward off competitors. Does any of it make a difference? A fancy sports car is bound to impress someone. Breast implants may be the only thing stopping you from meeting the man of your dreams. Maybe hair implants or whiter teeth are the last ingredient necessary for your perfect life. The question to ask then is,. The kind of peopl...

http://simplesuccessmanifesto.eflfrog.com/focus-the-secret-to-success

Focus – The Secret to Success. People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things. Can you focus long enough to achieve your goals? How can you create the most value for others now or in the near future? Research all of your options to ...
