Steve Martin’s Success Secret
I was 11 the first time I saw Steve Martin, and I thought he was like a wild and crazy comet who came out of nowhere to light up Saturday Night Live’s stage.
Most of America — including me — had never seen this guy before. He went from unknown on Friday to a sensation on Saturday. An overnight success.
But here’s what we didn’t know: Steve Martin had been at it for years. Developing his strategy. Delivering his act. Reflecting on what worked and what didn’t. Adjusting and trying again. Year after year until…
…he became an “overnight success.”
I’m reading Martin’s memoir Born Standing Up: A Comic’s Life.
It feels like an operating manual for a business person’s life because Steve Martin’s journey reminds me of my journey… and yours.
Strategize. Implement. Reflect. Adjust.
Expect the breakthrough. Remain persistent.
Eventually, you’ll celebrate success.
It won’t happen overnight. But it doesn’t have to take years.
