Summary
I was talking to my eldest son Jax the other day, and he said, "Dad, I got an idea of something you can talk about on your podcast."
I said, "Okay, whatcha got?"
He said, "What's the true key to success? I know it's staying focused and fighting the force of average, but what is the true key to success?"
I told him he had it all figured out and I had a proud dad moment, but he said he didn't quite understand what that meant, so I broke it down like this:
Focus + Don't Quit = Win.
Thomas Edison blew himself up 10,000 times before he got it right.
He was out trying to figure things out.
Blew things up.
Burned his barn.
Can you imagine your 10,000 attempts at something and you're still not right?
He finally figured it out.
Imagine the railroads.
People from other countries who didn't quit building the railroads. (Now we have transportation)
The railroad wasn't built in a day.
People today think they need some sort of instant success.
Solve a problem or objective.
Work to solve the problem.
Don't quit.
That's the true secret to success.
That one attempt made by Thomas Edison set their family up forever.
Start thinking like that and you'll never have to worry a day in your life.

He goes, I understand that it's focused and you have to escape the force of average and it requires you to not quit. But what is the real key to success? You kind of just said it, Jacks. You kind of just said it. You know the key to success. And it was like a proud |
| 0:54.6 | dad and quit, but what is the real key to success? You kind of just said it, Jacks. You kind of just said |
| 1:12.2 | it. You know the key to success. And it was like a proud dad moment for me because like he's repeating. He goes, but I don't know what a lot of those words mean. He goes, I listen to your podcast and I don't know what a lot of that stuff means. And I said, it's kind of like the Bible. The more you read it, the more you start to understand it. |
