What's the magic pill for success? What's the shortcut and stuff?  The quick fix, oh, man. How can I be successful now? All right.

So a very interesting question. I get asked that a lot and the answer is yes. Well, you know, people do ask me for that magic formula to success. And I have to say that there actually is a formula, but it might not be the formula that you want to hear.

OK, because here's the thing. There is no magic pill, OK? There's no shortcut. There are shortcuts that will take you a little bit faster. But there are no shortcuts when you're a beginner.

But there are things that can help you like for example, if you find a mentor or something, then these people can, you know, show you the ropes. They can get you to avoid years of trials and errors and all that kind of stuff. Even though these trials and errors are very useful in the sense that they help you build reflexes and also be more prepared for situations that come around.

But you still have to go through some of these steps. If you want to master a subject as a whole, you have to go through the steps and look at it before the actual mastery of it. If you want to be really good at it and if you're passionate about something, then you will have to go through this. There is no way around this.

If you ask me, there is no such thing as overnight success because, these people maybe you heard about, you don't know everything they did before and you don't know the level of preparation that they had so that, you know, when that opportunity is there, they're able to seize it.

OK, but it's like everything in every possible field. So it could be in business, right? It could be in your health and fitness in like relationship and stuff. There are still some things that you have to go through. So it might not be what people want to hear, but you just have to go through it.

OK, let's say, for example I decide I want to be an NBA player. I can't sit on my ass here and not do anything. And then tomorrow I'll be in the NBA finals and think that I'm going to do well. So even if someone by random coincidence manages to get me there, you know, on the court, I’ll look like an idiot.

I am not prepared like these guys. They've prepared all their life. They're fit, they're trained. They know the technique and all that kind of stuff. So you will have to go through the steps to get to the NBA finals level. You cannot just put some random person there just the same way you cannot put someone in the like the finals of Wimbledon against Roger Federer directly. Do you think that if I put you up against Federer on the court, how well do you think you're going to do?

Here is the magic formula for IMMEDIATE success

So it's the same for businesses. Why? There is the whole journey. I can teach you a specific sub segment of this whole, like, entrepreneurship space. And I can actually teach you that in 48 hours and you will be able to do it. But it's just like a tiny part of it.

So I summarize everything so that you only focus on the essentials, right, but if you want to be like a proper expert and all that kind of stuff, while I can get you there overnight, you know. So, yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Just put in the work and go step by step, you can’t go from step one to step five. You still have to go to step two, three, four, you still have to go there so that you understand the entirety of the mechanisms.

Key Takeaway

The magic formula for immediate success is not a tactic or a hack. It is a decision to take action on what you already know works, without waiting for permission or perfect conditions.

Quotable Insights

The magic formula for immediate success is action plus repetition. Most people quit before they ever find out how powerful that combination is.

Immediate success is not luck. It is the compounding effect of one decision repeated daily.

You will never feel ready. Start anyway. Readiness is a side effect of action, not a prerequisite.

The truth about immediate success nobody wants to sell you

There is no magic formula for immediate success. There is a formula for inevitable success, and it just looks slow at the start. I built 1,500+ workflows for clients like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and eBay one unglamorous system at a time, and the compounding is what looked like an overnight win from the outside.

Here is the real formula. Pick one problem, solve it better than anyone, and show up long enough that the market cannot ignore you. That is it. I have run 4 companies from Bali and lived in 49 countries on this exact patience, not on a hack. I write the honest version in The Diary of a Virtual CEO and go deeper on my Substack. For the evidence, McKinsey keeps documenting how consistent execution beats bursts, and Harvard Business Review has good work on why grit outperforms talent. Stop hunting the shortcut. Build the thing that compounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there really a magic formula for success?

There is no shortcut, but there is a formula: clarity on what you want, action that matches that clarity, and the discipline to repeat it. Skip any of those three and the formula breaks.

Why does immediate action matter so much?

Because momentum compounds. The longer you wait, the heavier the first step feels. Acting today on a small piece of the goal is worth more than planning a perfect version for next month.

What kills success faster than anything else?

Overthinking. Most people lose more time to analysis paralysis than to actual mistakes. A decent plan executed today beats a perfect plan that never ships.

Can anyone apply this formula?

Yes. The formula does not care about your background, your education, or your starting point. It only rewards the people willing to take the first action and repeat it.
