Why do some people, even though younger, less intelligent achieve greater success than others?

I looked around me and saw people, and at that time, I was 23-24 years old, who were younger than me but doing better than me, and they weren't any smarter than me, and some of them were even dumber.

One of the things I often say is that nothing is more frustrating than seeing someone dumber than you who is more successful. You just wonder, "How can this idiot be doing so well?" I started asking myself this question.

In selling, I began to ask why some salespeople are more successful than others.

I did something that very few people ever do. I sought out the best salespeople and asked them, "How come you're so successful?" They told me their strategies, and I did them. As a result, I made more sales!

And so people said how come you're making so many sales? So I told them and they did it! And their sales went up! 

And when I got into business, I asked managers. How do you manage it in a business like this? How do you organize it? And they told me and I did it.

So, one of the most important principles of success is to learn from the experts. Learn from people who have already achieved the results you desire. Read their books, listen to their programs, and attend their courses.

Learn from them, ask them questions, and they will always share their knowledge. By learning from those who have already learned, you can save yourself years of hard work by simply learning from people who've already learned by themselves.
