Welcome to Darren Daily on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day.

Here's your success mentor Darren Hardy.

I was recently consulting with a friend about his business future and he made a

statement that I have heard so many times before he said but this is all I

know he's owned a successful electronic equipment assembly company for two decades

But with new technological advancements requiring smaller and smaller microelectronics

Mass production technology has become more automated.

Modern manufacturing systems now use robots, programmable motion control devices,

sensing technologies and computers to do what his company and his employees used to do.

I told them it doesn't matter what he's done.

He could do anything, even completely unrelated to his past, his experience, his education,

or otherwise.

I told him of my own wildly different businesses,

each having nothing to do with any educational background,

prior experience, or even qualifications to get into.

From distribution of environmental products

to educational games, to real estate,

hospitality, television, internet media, educational software,

pet products, online photo sharing, to music producing, magazine, publishing, running

a speaker's bureau, book publishing, and on and on.

Now since he's a friend that I have known for a long time,

of course he wasn't going to listen to me.
