“I see myself cross the finish line before I ever step foot on
the racetrack. That’s why I keep winning.”

A line out of a current bestselling book? A quote from a famous
athlete? A sound bite from a favorite movie? Not at all. It’s a
quote from 14-year-old Shane “Go Go” McGoey. Although fairly new
to the sport of motorcycle road racing, Shane is leaving his mark
on literally every track he races on, surprising even the most
seasoned racers. From his first race he has placed first the
majority of times.

I was curious how this shy 14-year-old was able to consistently
outrace the competition and become quickly recognized as a champ
on the racetrack. His answer is simple:

“Well, I guess it’s the only choice I have. Why would I not
win?”

The most amazing thing about “Go Go” McGoey is that he isn’t yet
able to ride on the streets due to his age; he is already
outracing extremely seasoned riders, he can’t go pro until he is
16; and he racing with stock equipment while racers who have
high-end sponsors are using state of the art equipment.

When you delve into the mind of a champion, you will quickly
realize that there is a formula for success. One that many people
try to bypass and then wonder why they are not achieving all they
could.

Currently many people subscribe to beliefs of visualization based
on what they are reading in books like The Secret. Some readers
may feel as if they have come across the Holy Grail of success,
but this information has been around for centuries. “Ask, and it
shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall
be opened unto you.”

Although I am an avid reader of books like The Secret, I know
there is more to the process of success than simply visualizing
what you want. Many people want to believe the philosophies
presented in these books but still struggle with success. On the
other hand, there are others who subscribe to the beliefs of The
Secret in spite of never reading such books; people like Shane
McGoey.

You might be wondering why I would write about a 14-year-old road
racer in a business column. There are a few reasons.

“Go Go” McGoey’s thought processes are those of a true champion.
In order to succeed in business you have to think like a champ. A
champion doesn’t entertain thoughts of failure, only thoughts of
winning. There is no option but to succeed. And they are willing
to do what it takes to achieve this.

When not on the track, Shane’s actions are consistent with
winning such as running, biking, eating right, reading the latest
information on his sport and hanging out with other winners. To
win in business you have to do more than visualize what you want.
You have to prepare, read books, network and “hang out” with
other successful professionals.

Shane has heard countless times how lucky he is to win. When he
hears this he simply shrugs his shoulders. As with his racing,
winning in business often has very little to do with luck. It is
about preparation, commitment, vision and risk taking.

Shane began riding when he was six years old and began racing
when he was ten. His first mini bike was built from scratch with
a 125 cc lawnmower engine in it. Shane started where he was, with
what was available, never wavering from his dream.

When Shane needed money for a new tire, fender or pair of gloves,
he didn’t let the fact he didn’t have money stop him. He put
together a plan that included what he needed, who might be
willing to sponsor him and what a sponsor would get in return.
Keep in mind Shane is a shy young man who would rather race than
talk to people. Yet finding sponsors and risking rejection was a
means to an end. How many people can say they have the same level
of commitment to their dream?

How do I know all this about Shane? One, my company is one of his
sponsors. Two, he is my nephew. Three, he is someone I can admire
for his drive, determination and persistence. The next time you
think all you have to do is visualize what you want, think of “Go
Go” McGoey and take the necessary actions to make your dreams
come true.

Who among us does not want to be successful? Everybody wants to
achieve some level of success, whether it be in their personal
life or in the business world. Below are eight keys to success
that everyone should follow in their daily routine.

1. Set Goals. By doing this you will be able to work towards
success in a logical manner. Most people do not know how to find
success, so they jump from area to area in hopes that it falls in
their lap. And this rarely happens. Instead, you need to set
goals so that you are aware of the direction that you are moving
in. After you successfully meet and conquer one goal, you will
then want to move on to your next one. After a while, you will
see your self-confidence rise and your success increase.

2. Find inspiration for your goals. If you are aspiring to be the
top sales manager in your company, look for inspiration from
somebody who has been there before. Inspiration can often be
found in the most surprising places. Many people turn to books in
order to find somebody to look up to. This is a great way in
finding someone to look up to that is already successful.

3. Plan out your day in correspondence with your goals. In order
to reach your goals you are going to have to know how to get
there. By setting out a daily step-by-step process, you will be
able to reach smaller goals that will eventually lead you to the
big goal at the end.

4. Pay attention to your progress. At the end of every day make
sure that you look back and see if you did what you needed to do
in order to reach your goal. If you did not, find out why, and
then come up with a way to solve this problem in the future.

5. Don’t give up. There is no reason to ever give up on your
goal. If you do, it is your own fault. By sticking with your
daily steps, you will get to your goal sooner or later. The only
thing that can stop you is quitting.

6. Look forward to the end. By visualizing what it will be like
to reach your goal, you will be pushed to work harder.

7. Think positive. You never want to tell yourself that you
cannot reach your goal or that you are failing. By thinking
positive you will always be on the right track to success.

8. Appreciate the opportunity. By appreciating the opportunity to
reach your goal you are already halfway to the end result. Do not
lose sight of why you want to be successful.
