SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES: 7 Footprints of Successful People You Must Follow in Ghana

“Success leaves clues. Follow the footprints, and you will find the destination.” – Abundant Robert K. AWOLUGUTU

THE MANYORO HUNTING SECRET
In Manyoro, a young hunter got lost in the bush during an expedition. An old hunter told him: “Follow the footprints of those who returned with meat, not those who returned empty.”

Success leaves clues in the bush!
Here is the immutable truth: if you want to succeed in life, learn from those who have succeeded before you. I understudied great writers like Tony Robbins, Og Mandino, Robin Sharma, Robert T. Kiyosaki, and Jack Canfield. Their success clues are in their books. Today I have 200+ articles on Modern Ghana. I did not invent writing success; I followed clues.

Core Law: No success is mysterious. Every success left a trail.

WHY SOME PEOPLE NEVER SEEK OUT SUCCESS CLUES

1. Lack of Awareness: They do not know that success leaves clues in books, courses, podcasts, and videos. They have never seen people using these resources.
2. Inconvenience: Sometimes you must relocate or drive across town to access resources. The inconvenience becomes a stumbling block.
3. Fear of Looking Stupid: Pride stops them from asking for help even when they need it.
4. Poverty Mindset: Financial constraints stop them. They see resources as expensive, not as investments.
5. The Challenge of Connecting Dots: Connecting the dots means hard work, and frankly, most people do not want to work that hard.

THE 7 FOOTPRINTS OF SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE

1. They Study Before They Start – The Knowledge clue

Successful people are voracious readers. They are committed to personal development. They pursue dreams with grit and tenacity.

Many Ghanaian youth want instant success without learning. They follow failure clues.

I did not become a writer overnight. I studied inspirational writers first.

ACTION: Who has the kind of success you want? Study them for 30 days.

2. They Are Early Risers: The Golden Sunrise Clue: Successful people start before sunrise. Before others arrive, they have already accomplished tasks. We have 5am farmers, writers, and pastors.

My brand is The Golden Sunrise. I stay awake to write when others are sleeping. That is the success clue I followed.

Jesus, our greatest model, rose early to pray. That is a success clue!

ACTION: Change your morning, change your life.

3. They Praise Little to Get Much – The Law of Increase Clue:

Successful people praise their small beginnings. Whatever we praise and bless multiplies. Failures grumble and make no progress. A farmer who praised his small maize farm had a bumper harvest – that is a success clue.

ACTION: What small thing will you praise tomorrow?

4. They Keep Going When Others Quit – The Persistence Clue

Many stop at the first drought. A successful farmer plants again.

I did not stop at 10 articles. I have 200+ today – that is the persistence clue!

Og Mandino wrote: “I will persist until I succeed.” That is the clue I followed.

During Covid, many farmers quit. Those who persisted became rich.

ACTION: What will you persist at this week?

5. They Bless People – The Relationship Clue: Successful people bless people, not just things – family, employees, customers. That is the compassion clue.

Remember: Praise people and your business multiplies. Failures curse, cheat, and use people – that is a failure clue.

ACTION: List 5 people to bless this week and watch goodness manifest.

6. They Write It Down – The Journal Clue

Successful people put success habits on paper – gratitude journals, goals journals, money journals.

Start your 21-day writing challenge! All successful people carry a notebook.

ACTION: Buy a 10 cedi notebook today and chronicle your success stools.

7. They Thank God First – The Faith Clue: Successful people thank God first before they ask. This is faith in action – the gateway to riches. They praise in advance.

My mantra: “God is great. Thanks for granting me your wisdom to write articles.”

Psalm 100:4 is a faith clue: Enter His gates with thanksgiving.

ACTION: Thank God for what you want as if you already have it.

CONCLUSION: Choose Your Clues
Remember the two paths in the Manyoro bush -footprints to success and footprints to failure. Both leave clues. Which will you follow?

Call-to Action: For 7 days, get a mentor, coach, or expert. Study his success habits. Integrate his life clues and watch your life transform.

Question for you: Whose success clues will you follow this week?
