Formula of Success

Do you have what it takes to get what
you want?

Have a vision.

Champions get what they want
because they know what they want.
They have a vision that keeps them
motivated and efficiently on track.
They see it, feel it, and experience it in
their minds and hearts. What is
success for you? You won't get there
without knowing what it feels and
looks like.

Make a strategy.

People who consistently win have a
clear and thoughtful strategy. They
know what they need to do and when
they need to do it. They write it down
so they stay on course and avoid any
alternative that does not get them
closer to the finish line.

Find a passion.

Are you excited to get up in the
morning? People with a passion are,
and they're energized about what
they are doing. You need to live and
breathe what it is that you want,and
be passionately invested in both the
journey and the goal.

Live the truth.

People who consistently win have no room in their lives for denial, fantasy
or fiction. They are self-critical rather
than self-deluding, and they hold
themselves to high but realistic
standards. They deal with the truth,
since they recognize that nothing else
will make their vision obtainable.

Be flexible.

Life is not a success-only journey.
Even the best-laid plans sometimes
must be altered and changed. Be open
to input and consider any potentially
viable alternative. Be willing to be
wrong and be willing to start over.

Take risks.

People who consistently win are
willing to get out of their comfort
zone and try new things. Be willing to
plunge into the unknown if necessary,
and leave behind the safe,
unchallenging, and familiar existence
in order to have more.

Create a strong nucleus.

Surround yourself with a group of
people who want you to succeed.
They will move with you toward your
goal. Choose and bond with people
who have skills, talents and abilities
that you do not. Winners give and
receive by being part of other
people's nuclear groups.

Take action.

Do it! People who succeed don't just
sit and think about what they want to
do. They take meaningful,purposeful,
directional action consistently and
persistently. Every step they take puts
the toward the outcome they're
looking for.

Set priorities.

People who are consistent winners
manage their challenges in
hierarchical fashion. They commit to
managing their time in such a way
that does not allow them to keep
grinding along on priority number
two or three if priority number one
needs their attention.

Take care of yourself.

People who consistently win are
consciously committed to self-management. They are the most
important resource they have in
achieving their goals. They actively
manage their mental, physical,
emotional and spiritual health.
