How to be Successful


            As artist we all want to be successful, but many do know how to be successful. As I listened to a speech by Richard St. John, a success analyst, I was inspired to share this with you.    His speech focused on 8 Secrets of Success.  According to St.John, through research and interviews he found the big eight secrets that would lead to success.   As I listened I was inspired because I agreed with his principles.  As I continued to digest the information he had just disseminated, I realized his eight secrets to success coincided with biblical principles.  So I set out to find scriptures that were directly related to the 8 secrets that he shared. For many who view his video they will just receive the 8 secrets, but I wanted something deeper. A greater understanding of how these 8 secrets could be applied to the biblical principles in which many of us believe. 
        In this industry we are constantly faced with rejection. But when you know that you are walking in your purpose, you need little reminders to help you keep your focus.  I encourage all of you to look at the 8 secrets and keep them as a daily reminder that success is around the corner. Not because Richard St. Johns say so, but because of WHOSE YOU ARE!


1.     Passion: Proverbs 18:16   We all have talents and if we use them properly we will not have lack in our life.
2.     Work: II Thessalonians3:10   In order to survive we must all work, but when you are doing your passion it never feels like work.
3.     (Good) Practice:  Matthew 7:24 Practice means to do repetitively in an effort to get better.  When we practice continually we are building a strong foundation for our gifts.
4.     Focus: Proverbs 23:7   Concentrated focus. Focus on one thing at a time and master it. Always let your thought be positive. You can achieve whatever you put your mind to.
5.     Push:   II Timothy 2:  Never give up. We have to push to fear, shyness and all other inhibitors to reach success.
6.     Serve:  I Peter 4:10 Never be selfish. Serve others and watch doors begin to open for you.
7.     Idea: John 18:34   Have your own ideas.  Know for yourself. Create your own path   
8.     Persistence: Romans 2:7   If you fall get back up. No success is overnight. Keep going now matter what, because success will soon follow if you keep the course. 


Keep Pushing,
Misha Moore
