Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 6 Rules For Success And My Experience With Them

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s life is one of the most motivating things to read and see, the Austrian oak has conquered just about every endeavour he has attempted, from the stage of the Olympia, acting in Hollywood blockbusters to the office of politics. Arnold has a number of other achievements that aren’t common knowledge (for example the millions Arnold made from property investment before he even got started with his Hollywood career) unless you’ve read his biography, Total Recall.

These are Arnold’s 6 rules for success in life.

Notice a common theme among Arnold’s 6 rules for success?

They all revolve around YOU, what YOU want to do, what YOU think you can do and setting out to find a way that YOU can do it… Arnold would not have reached the echelon of success if he listened to what his parents told him, what the majority of his friends told him, what the average men in society told him he could and couldn’t do. His dreams would’ve been shot dead in the water if this were the case.

WORK LIKE HELL

I’m SJ. I’m a fitness enthusiast and published author. I transformed my body from a skinny fat 135lbs with 18% body fat to a solid 192lbs at 8% body fat. I became qualified in a field I was passionate about. I founded several online businesses that allow me to pursue ideas and projects in my life that I am passionate about without having to constantly worry about money. I published several eBooks explaining the training and dieting techniques I used to achieve the body I have today. I learnt a plethora of new information on dieting and fitness by reading and applying what I read, to find out what does work and what doesn’t work, because as I’m sure you’ve noticed the health and fitness industry is full of non-sense claims and BS. I found out what was true and what worked for me and applied that knowledge. And you bet I had fun during the whole process.
