Good morning and welcome to the Increase Remifact Podcasts. I'm Justin Sua, episode 1,869.

I recently read an article that told a story of a gentleman named Albert Gray who delivered a speech called the Common Denominator of Success.

And the speech was delivered at the National Association of Life Underwriters in 1940.

And in this speech, he was talking about, he created a research study, a group of researchers

to study the biographies and autobiographies of very successful men and women back in the

1940s.

And he came to understand, he said this, quote,

the secret of success of every man or woman who has ever been successful

lies in the fact that they form the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do.

What are the things that failures don't like to do?

The very things that you and I and other human beings, including successful men and women,

naturally don't like to do.

In other words, we've got to realize right from the start that success is something which

is achieved by the minority of people and is therefore unnatural and not to be achieved by following our

natural likes and dislikes or by being guided by our natural preferences and prejudices.

You've probably wondered, Gray continues, why is it that those who are the best at what they do

seem to like to do the things that you don't like to do.

And his response to that is they don't. Then why do they do them? Because by doing the things

they don't like to do, they can accomplish the things they want to accomplish. Close. That's the message. i want to read that last part again by doing the

things successful people don't like to do they accomplish the things they want to accomplish

my question first of all statements the things you want to achieve are often on the other side of the things you don't want to do.

The things you want to achieve are often on the other side of the things you don't want to do.
