Why You Need to Stop Pushing for Success, and Start Pulling

[MJ DeMarco]

Here is a great video on how we have to rewire our polarity and stop pushing for success, and start pulling for it.

Why You Need to Stop Pushing for Success and Start Pulling For it!

An example of a PUSH for success.

- Send your manuscript to a publisher. (PUSH then WAIT)
- Send your literary proposal to a publisher. (PUSH then WAIT)
- Go to an VC conference and beg for funding. (PUSH and Hope)
- Use deceptive marketing tactics to sell your products (PUSH)

An example of a PULL for success.

- You write your own book, publish it, sell it -- the publishers call you. (PULL)
- You create your own internet company and become profitable - the VC's and angels CALL YOU. (PULL)
- Your product is so good, your customers sell it for you. (PULL)

Thanks a lot for an other great video, MJ!

I guess the reason we often prefer to "push" instead of "pull" is because we are looking for the event before we go through the process. Somehow "pushing" seems easier than "pulling"....

Steve Martin once said, as advice for success in life: "Be so good they can't ignore you."

Great lesson. Any time we push our own agenda, we meet with resistance. It is a normal, natural occurrence. When we make ourselves attractive to others, they will come to us.

The second book will be much easier than the first ... you should have some great ideas from this forum.

Very well put. I think deep down, many of up know this. Many use push as an excuse. By pushing and waiting, they figure they've removed themselves from blame. It's not until they start to pull, that the progress happens. And thusly, it's usually up to the "doers" in society.
