Why I did it: Actually, I love TEDx, specially a site
for personal self growth. Sometimes these talks can
be very long and I may not have the time to listen or
that after I listen I want to print out a set of
summary slides for future reference.
I am hoping that this summary resource will be
useful to you and my base of 10,000+ and counting
readers in your journey of self growth.

About Speaker: Richard St. John
Richard St. John was on his way to the TED conference
when a girl on the plane asked him, "What really leads
to success?" Even though he had achieved some
success, he couldn't explain how he did it. So he spent
the next ten years researching success and asking over
500 extraordinarily successful people in many fields
what helped them succeed. After analyzing, sorting,
and correlating millions of words of research, and
building one of the most organized databases on the
subject of success, he discovered "The 8 Traits
Successful People Have in Common" and wrote the
bestseller 8 To Be Great.

Introduction
This is really a 2 hour presentation I give
to high school students cut down to 3
minutes. And it all started one day, on a
plane, on my way to TED, 7 years ago. And
in the seat next to me was a high school
student, a teenager, and she came from a
really poor family and she wanted to
make something of her life. And she asked
me a simple little question.
She said: “What leads to success?”
What helped them succeed…
And I felt really badly because I couldn’t give her a good answer. So I get off the plane and I
come to TED. And I think, Jesus, I’m in the middle of a room with successful people. So, why
don’t I ask them - what helped them succeed and pass it onto kids.
WHAT LEADS TO SUCCESS?
7 years of research
500 interviews
PASSION…
So, here we are, 7 years, 500 interviews later, and I’m going to tell you
what really leads to success and makes TED just tick.
And the first thing is:
Freeman Thomas (car designer, Daimler Chrysler) says: “I’m driven by
my passion“. Tedsters do it for love, they don’t do it for money.
Carol Coletta (radio producer, Smart City) says: “I would pay someone
to do what I do.” The interesting thing is if you do it for love, the
money comes anyway.
WORK…Rupert Murdoch (big cheese CEO) said to me: “It’s all hard work. Nothing comes easily.
But I have a lot of fun.” Did he say fun? Rupert? Yes!
Tedsters do have fun working and they work hard. I figured
out they are not workaholics, they are work frolics.
GOOD…Alex Garden (game developer) says: “To be successful put your nose down in
something and get damn good at it.“
There is no magic. It’s:
Practice
Practice
Practice
And it’s
PUSH…David Gallo (marine scientist) says: “Push yourself. Physically, mentally, you’ve
got to push, push, push.“ You’ve got to push through shyness and self-doubt.
Goldie Hawn (actor) says: “I always had self-doubts. I wasn’t good enough, wasn’t
smart enough. I didn’t think I’d make it.” Now, it’s not always easy to push
yourself, and that’s why they invented mothers.
Frank Gehry (architect) , Frank Gehry said to me:
“My mother pushed me.”
SERVE…Sherwin Nuland (professor of surgery, Yale) said, “It was a privilege to serve as a
doctor”. Now, a lot of kids tell me they want to be millionaires. Millionaires serve
others something of value.
And the first thing I say to them is: “Ok. Well, you can’t serve yourself, you’ve got to
serve others something of value, because that’s the way people really get rich.”
IDEAS…Tedster Bill Gates (software guy) says: “I had an idea - founding the first micro-computer
software company…” I’d say it was a pretty good idea. And there is no magic to creativity and
coming up with ideas, it’s just doing some very simple things.
oListen
oObserve
oBe Curious
oAsk Questions
oProblem Solve
oMake Connections
oAnd I give lots of evidence.
PERSIST…Joe Kraus (co-founder, Excite) says: “Persistence is the number one reason for our success.”
You’ve got to persist through failure, you’ve got to persist through CRAP, which, of course means
oCriticism
oRejection
oAssholes
oPressure
So, at the big end… The answer to this question is simple: Pay 4000 bucks and come
to TED… Or, failing that, do the 8 things, and trust me - these are the big 8 things that
lead to success.
