This is one of the most literal sayings that would lead you to success. “Anything you do, do it right” should be implanted in the minds of everyone who wants to succeed and this is something which is known by almost everyone however, very few people have been able to successfully put it in practice. You might not know in the beginning or maybe even for a few years but you will surely reap the benefits at some point in time in your life if you follow this saying. Here we discuss why it is important to use this saying as a guide to success using a few examples of people who have succeeded in areas no one expected.
It is surprising but many people just don’t learn from history until someone succeeds around them then you hear statements like, “I used to do that before”, “I started doing this before he did” and it’s all cool that you started first, but ask yourself the questions, where are you now? Why did you quit? Often, innovators in the world today who were able to create a market for themselves and establish their presence before the influx of competitors were not really the first people to start what they did before they went on to succeed. Most of the time, they started much later but they learnt to follow the saying of “anything you do, do it right” and because of their consistency, they were able to outgrow people who started way before them because of their dedication.
One thing we love is to do something which has already been proven to be highly lucrative and this is why there is always an influx of people coming into a market to do something after it has been proven to be lucrative. If you have not heard of the YouTube star PewDiePie, you can take some time to read up about him. He is a 25 year old who dropped out of University to focus on creating YouTube videos (how silly is that right?) and he currently has an income of around $7 million making videos on YouTube.
Now, 10 years ago if you took the extra time to make videos on YouTube, many people will probably look at you funny because no one at that time was known to make so much money off YouTube. In fact, some thought it was a fad which would be buried in a few months but for the folks who took it upon themselves to “do it right” even when it wasn’t a lucrative activity to post videos on YouTube, have now been able to establish a presence for themselves over the years and now, those who have been dedicated from the start, producing great content now make from $200,000 up to $7 million annually from YouTube and sponsors. $200,000 is more than the average income in any country in the world and today, this is gotten from a platform created in 2005 which had no previous track record.

Apart from Technology, even artists around the world who were able to stick around doing what they do best reap the benefits of this saying. If you are like most people and you see an artist around your neighborhood who has been struggling for some time, you would probably think they are wasting their time but as long as they follow the saying, “Do it right”, they are on their way to success. Here’s why?
Most of the biggest pop artists apart from a few started their careers long before you knew them. Many of them have been working at it for 10 to 15 years before they got the popularity they deserved for their hard work. You see a hip-hop star like 2 Chainz for instance and you think because you just got to know about him, he just started his career, but doing some digging will show you that he has been a star in the making for over 10 years before you knew him (he has been active in the music industry since 1997). Lil Wayne gained universal popularity with his album “the Carter III” in 2008 however he’s been active in the industry since 1996. Nicki Minaj broke out in 2010 however she’s been active since 2004.
Google is the most popular website in the world today but what most people don’t know is that this multinational company started in 1998. 1998 was a time when most people using Google today did not know what the internet was about but 17 years later, Google is dominating the internet. Now if you’ve been doing something for a few years, just because it’s not lucrative right now does not mean it won’t be in the future as long as you have the abilities to do it right. You don’t want to be the guy who always says “I did that first but I stopped after a while” anytime someone comes up with something successful. So stay determined, do it right, your success might just be around the corner so don’t stop now, and please leave your comments below. Cheers.
