Forget the success gurus who preach long sermons about the mathematics of success. Forget the get-rich-quick schemers who scam you into forking out huge bucks to learn the secret to success. Forget your business lecturer who bored you with theoretical stories about success.
I found one success guru who teaches us by example. He’s an adorable fella and he’s got lots of gumption to reach his one and only passion in the world. You know him too, but I’ll figure you never thought you could learn the secret to success from him. Well you can….
If Scrat were a real, human he’d be a great home business owner. He faces a multitude of obstacles and challenges that stand in the way of his one true passion in life - nuts.
Like any true hero in life, he stares each challenge in the eye and never backs down with fear. He focuses on what needs to be done, and he does it. Sure he miscalculates and falls flat on his face many a time, but does he give up? Nope… he bounces back with even more oomph.
I remember one snippet where Scrat slides down a looooong hill to take off into the air and grab his prized target - a nut of course - only to land in iced cold water filled with prehistoric piranha. He fights of the piranha with incredible Kung Fu moves to protect his hard earned nut.
That scene translates nicely into what every (home) business owner faces. He meticulously plans and calculates his moves to successfully launch his dream business. Then he finds there are piranhas (of the two legged species) all around him, waiting to tear him and his business to shreds. In the business world, we call these two-legged piranhas competitors and it takes all the smarts and savvy moves we can muster (Kung Fu included if necessary) to beat their attacks.
And that’s the way we should ALL be… whether you’re planning to work full-time at home, starting your own small business or working your regular full-time job.
Scrat teaches us in this video the secret to success is to focus on what you want, to be determined, to do whatever it takes to reach that dream and to never, ever give up.
This post also teaches us that Andrew is an overgrown baby who still loves to watch cartoons. Long live Scrat!
