Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. Welcome back to the Level Up Podcast with Paul Alex, where we focus on leveling up your mindset, business, and life. Today we're going to be flipping the script guys. Stop chasing success and start doing this instead. Here's the truth.

Chasing success will wear you out. It feels like you're running a race you can never win. But there's a better way guys. This comes from personal experience. Instead of chasing success, focus on building value. Success is a byproduct of value you can create, whether it's in your business, your relationships, or your personal growth.

You don't need to chase success guys. You need to attract it. And you do that by becoming someone who provides massive value. When I first started my first business, I wasn't focused on getting rich or hitting a certain number. I was focused on solving problems for my clients. I asked myself, how can I make their lives easier?

How can I give them something they truly need? The problems you solve, the more value you will become and the success will follow. So here's another shift that I could give your mind. Stop focusing on the outcome and start focusing on the process. We live in a world where everyone is obsessed with the end goal,

but the real game is played in the day to day grind. Success isn't a destination, it's actually a habit. The better your habits, the more success you'll attract. This means committing to growth, discipline and consistent action. Whether that's learning new skills, improving your business systems or strengthening your mindset.

The process is where the magic happens. If you fall in love with the process, success won't be something you chase. It'll be something that chases you. And lastly, focus on serving others. Whether you shift your mindset from what could I get to what could I give. You unlocked a whole new level of success. Your impact grows. Your influence expands and your business thrives. The most successful people aren't chasing success. They're creating impact. The success is the reward that comes after.

So stop chasing the title, the money, or the fame. Trust me, you're not missing anything. Start focusing on value, on your process, and on serving others. That's where the real success lies, guys. And remember, success isn't something you can pursue. It's something you can pursue it's something you attract by the person you become. Alright guys so that's all I have for
