Richard St.John: 8 secrets of succe

About this talk

Why do people succeed? Is it because they're smart? Or are they just lucky? Neither.Analyst Richard St.John condenses years of interviews into an unmiable 3-minute slideshow on the real secrets of succe.About Richard St.John

A self-described average guy who found succe doing what he loved, Richard St.John spent more than a decade researching the leons of succe--and distilling them into 8 words, 3 minutes and one succeful book.Transcript

This is really a two hour presentation I give to high school students, cut down to three minutes.And it all started one day on a plane, on my way to TED, seven years ago.And in the seat next to me was a high school student, a teenager, and she came from a really poor family.And she wanted to make something of her life, and she asked me a simple little question.She said, “What leads to succe?” And I felt really badly, because I

couldn't give her a good answer.So I get off the plane, and I come to TED.And I think, jeez, I'm in the middle of a room of succeful people!So why don't I ask them what helped them succeed, and pa it on to kids? So here we are, seven years, 500 interviews later, and I'm gonna tell you what really leads to succe and makes TED-sters tick.And the first thing is paion.Freeman Thomas says, “I'm driven by my paion.” TED-sters do it for love, they don't do it for money.Carol Coletta says, “I would pay someone to do what I do.” And the interesting thing is, if you do it for love, the money comes anyway.Work!Rupert Murdoch said to me, “It's all hard work.Nothing comes easily.But I have a lot of fun.” Did he say fun? Rupert? Yes!TED-sters do have fun

working.And they work hard.I figured, they're not workaholics.They're workafrolics.Good!Alex Garden says, “To be succeful put your nose down in something and get damn good at it.” There's no magic, it's practice, practice, practice.And it's focus.Norman Jewison said to me, “I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing” And push!David Gallo says, “Push yourself.Physically, mentally, you've gotta push, push, push.” You gotta push through shyne and self-doubt.Goldie Hawn says, “I1

always had self-doubts.I wasn't good enough, I wasn't smart enough.I didn't think I'd make it.” Now it's not always easy to push yourself, and that's why they invented mothers.(Laughter)Frank Gehry--Frank Gehry said to me, “My mother pushed me.” Serve!Sherwin Nuland says, “It was a privilege to serve as a doctor.” Now a lot of kids tell me they want to be millionaires.And the first thing I say to them is, “OK, well you can't serve yourself, you gotta serve others something of value.Because that's the way people really get rich.” Ideas.TED-ster Bill Gates says, “I had an idea--founding the first micro-computer software company.” I'd say it was a pretty good idea.And there's no magic to creativity in coming up with ideas, it's just doing some very simple things.And I give lots of evidence.Persist.Joe Kraus says, “Persistence is the number one reason for our succe.” You gotta persist through failure.You gotta persist through crap!Which of course means “Criticism, Rejection, Aholes and Preure.”(Laughter)So, the big--the answer to this question is simple: Pay 4,000 bucks and come to TED.Or failing that, do the eight things--and trust me, these are the big eight things that lead to succe.Thank you TED-sters for all your interviews!
