Welcome to Secrets To Success!

Welcome! 

You've stumbled upon the Internet's hidden cove of tips and tricks to finally becoming a successful human being. Congratulations. Throughout the next few months, there is a chance that this blog could change your life forever. Take that chance. 

My name is Luke Ross and I want to go on this adventure with you. 

Well first of all, I think I should get something out of the way now. I am 21 years old. Most of you reading this will most likely have a huge amount of experience more than me in many fields, and that's alright with me. What I have in store for you, and what makes these words that your reading so special is... my perspective. Think of this blog as a good friend or a mentor. Now, I know you're asking yourself why you would ever hire a 21 year old mentor... and that is probably a good question, but you never know. This could be the last piece of writing you read before you sky rocket into the successful person you know you can be. 

"Transitioning Marine Sergeant"

The above text was my LinkedIn profile header for a couple months. I now realize that this was not very advertising at all, and could easily be confused with something entirely different. That being said, I joined the United States Marine Corps when I was 17 years old in 2015.  I missed out on High School prom and graduation, and took a 3 month long PAID vacation to beautiful San Diego, Ca. I took a chance, and do not regret one single second of it. I left the Marine Corps this past April and now live in Arizona, going to college and livin' the American dream.

In my free time, I often go to the gym to workout or binge-watch shows on Netflix. (We will talk about how binge-watching effects success rates tremendously later on) I am interested in psychology, guns and absolutely obsessed with listening to Podcasts that talk about a multitude of subjects.

My main goal and focus in life is to be successful. Many people have many different definitions of success, mine is something like this:

 having achieved popularity, profit, or distinction.   
 "a successful actor"
synonyms:
prosperous · affluent · wealthy · rich 

Just kidding of course. Success to me... is a mindset. It's setting a goal, and accomplishing that goal. It is a way of life. You will learn more about myself, and the Secrets To Success in upcoming Blog entries. Thank you for reading!
