Thoughts...
"It is no use saying
"we are doing our best." You have got to succeed in doing what is
necessary."
"Money itself isn't the primary factor in
what one does. A person does things for the sake of accomplishing
something. Money generally follows."
"First say to yourself what you want to be; and then do what you have
to do."
"You cannot depend on your eyes when your
imagination is out of focus."
" The path to our
destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we
get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark
on. Maybe what matters is that we embark."
- Barbara Hall
"You
must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do
something for others - something for which you get no pay but the
privilege of doing it."

Judge Your Success By What You Had To
Give Up To Get It
In his book "Live
Big. Think Large. Act Sensibly: How To Make A Fortune
– Without Losing Your Friends!" Nick James begins chapter one
with the above quote.
His point, you see, is this:
Everything does come at a price.
If you want to achieve wealth (or success as you define it), you're
going to have to work for it. Of course this not something new to
you or me; but, do we really accept it, deep in our hearts? Do we
really?
He goes on to reflect that most successful people start from very
humble – if not bankrupt – beginnings and only after experiencing a
crisis or, as he puts it, experiences an awaking, do they finally find
their path to success.
Now…we don't want to intentionally create a crisis, but we can prod
ourselves into an "awakening." Because without this awakening,
change cannot occur. And without change, we stagnate, we remain
fixed, always just beyond the golden carrot dangling beyond our reach.
So how do we do it – how do set in motion the right path for success?
Unless you've been in a cave for the last 75 years, I bet you've heard
countless claims of "secrets of success," "follow me and I'll get you
to the promise land," or "this product or service is all you need to
succeed."
But…as my mentor Jim Straw points out, all of them are right and all of
them are wrong. It's not information that we need per se, but
it's the KNOWLEDGE we gain from this information by ACTING on this
information.
Back to Nick's book…
At the end of chapter one, Nick lists 10 critical success elements we
can use to set our "awakening" in motion. Let's review each one –
1) Belief
2) Determination
3) Courage
4) Conviction
5) Humility
6) A rapacious need for knowledge – and results
7) The ability to completely "empty your cup"
8) A plan
9) A dream
10) A destination
Belief:
As I say to myself all the time, "you can't achieve until you
believe." Before beginning a new project, say to yourself – do I
believe, really believe, I can make this work?
Determination:
Once you believe you can do it, do you possess the determination, the
drive, the will, to see the project right to the bitter end? If
not, forget about it.
Courage:
Do you have the courage to fail? To make mistakes? To try a
different route if the first one leads to a dead end? It is
oftentimes at our moment of being most afraid we somehow summon up
enough courage to break through on the side of success.
Conviction:
Do you possess the fortitude to stand alone while others all around you
tell you "it won't work," "you'll lose your shirt – just like last
time," or "why can't you play ball with me today?" Conviction
goes hand-in-hand with belief – you won't have conviction unless you
believe.
Humility:
In my opinion, success comes about by assisting others. You just
can't do that is you have your nose stuck up in the air, pretending to
be better than others. Additionally, it is important to "suck it
up" and admit our mistakes to others and not try to hide them.
A
rapacious need for knowledge – and results
We need to get hungry. Once we've identified a project worth
doing excitement builds naturally. We need to feed off of that
excitement and dig right into the details to get the job done. At
the same time, however, as business people we must focus on
results. Don't lose sight of the big picture.
The
ability to completely "empty our cup."
Here's Nick to explain this point:
"…that in order to grow and expand as people and become successful as
entrepreneurs we all have to be able at some point to "empty our
cups".
We have to let go to learn more. We have to be aware of and in
tune with influences from every quarter. We have to be up to
speed with the world and its developments. We have to feed our
minds and constantly feed our imagination. We have to free
our minds of the shackles and constraints of can't, don't and won't and
turn them into will, can and do."
A
plan
We need two plans – one for our immediate project(s) we're working on,
and a long-term plan. Where to you want to be in five
years? Ten years? How are you going to get there? If
you don't possess a plan, how will you know when you've arrived?
A
dream
Dreams inspire us. They teach us to be creative. To be
daring. Dreams can be the beginning impetus for positive
change. Have you dreamed big lately?
A
destination
Do you know where you're going? Why you're going there?
There must be an end result in our minds, understanding full well that
success is really the journey itself. Nevertheless, knowing in
our minds the end point keeps us focused and on track.
I leave you with this quote from Nick:
"In this life, there is no one with nothing left to learn and often it
will be people much younger than ourselves who will be showing us the
way. They will be our teachers, if we can empty our cups and, with
cheerful humility and the best grace possible, accept the lessons they
can teach us."
Be the best (and thanks for being a subscriber)!
