The Seven Cs of Success
Get ready to sail the Seven C's - the Seven C's of Success that is. Get onboard and ride this ship to your destiny! There are Seven C's you must sailif you want to be a total success. Here they are, in alphabetical order: 1. Caring - I believe that to be a true success in this world we must have abigger vision than simply accomplishing a goal for ourselves or simplylining our own pockets. I believe that successful people have a deep carefor others. Yes, they are aggressive, but they are not aggressive to thepoint that they run roughshod over others. Question: What is your care factor? Have you placed people in their properplace, as people worthy of dignity, respect, and proper treatment? Or haveyou begun to treat others as a means to an end for yourself? 2. Character - Becoming a success is more than increasing the digits in yourbank account. In fact, I believe ANYONE can increase his or her bank accountwith a simple plan. Financial development is the easy part. Characterdevelopment is the hard part, letting each and every experience shape andmold us as we experience them, always moving toward our goal and neverallowing negative circumstances to destroy us but make us better people.This is what true success is about! Question: How is your character? Are you becoming a better person with eachpassing experience? Are you becoming a rock of wisdom and experience,deepening your foundation of character? 3. Choice - Eisenhower reminded us that our histories are written by choice,not by chance. Every movement you make toward your ultimate success anddestiny will be because you choose to move toward it. The actions that youchoose, each and every day will add up, over the long-term, to your finaldestination. The power we have as humans to choose is one of the greatestgifts known to mankind. Question: Do you choose success with each and every choice you make? Eachchoice you make either moves you toward your goal or away from it. Which doyou choose? 4. Concentration - Often those who fail do so because they lose theirconcentration. Something else comes along and becomes their newfound fancy.They move from whim to whim, tossed to and fro by the strong blowing winds.The successful person however, stands firm, with their eyes transfixed onthe goal. One of my favorite posters as a boy was of George Brett of theKansas City Royals Baseball Team. They picture was taken just as the bat washitting the ball. Where were George's eyes? Straight down the barrel of thebat, looking at the point where the ball and bat came together. Now that isconcentration! Question: How is your concentration? Do you stick to your goal and focusfirmly on it, or do you let your mind and heart wander from whim to whim? 5. Confidence - Success comes to those who have the confidence to try, andmore than that, the confidence to win. Confidence is something that you cangrow in your mind and heart. Each passing victory that you achieve buildsmore and more confidence in you to draw from the next time you go to fightanother battle on your journey to success. Do what you can to buildconfidence inside of yourself so you will be able to dip deeply into thatwell when you need it! Question: How is your confidence? Do you believe that you can achieve whatyou conceive? Are you winning victories that you can then draw on later? 6. Consistency - People who become a success realize that to a great degree,success is a formula. At the very least it is sticking to doing the rightthings for a long enough period of time for them to create their destiny.This is consistency. They consistently do the things that will bring themtheir success. Tiger Woods hits hundreds of practice balls each and everyday. He doesn't do 100 one day, then two days off, then 500 balls, then aday off, then 300 balls, then three days off. No, he knows the power ofconsistency and has achieved a level of success that that consistencyformulated for him. Question: How is your consistency? Are you consistent? Are you doing thethings you need to do each and every day that will bring your goal to you? 7. Courage - Successful people are brave people. They know that even successhas its challenges, yet they face them head on and move forward anyway. Nomountain is too high, nor river too wide, nor foe too large for the personwho will choose to live out their dreams! They are courageous people whocontinue on even when others have quit. And for that they receive theirreward! Question: How about you? Are you courageous? Are you willing to face theobstacles and move forward in spite of the fear that may try to well upwithin you? Be courageous and you will succeed! There they are, the Seven C's of Success. Set sail today!

What is Success and How Do We Achieve It? To be clear about what success is must be the first step to achieving success. If You?re Not Where You Want To Be In Life, It?s Your Own Fault Have you ever wondered why you're not where you want to be in life? Five Principals for Prosperity Many years ago, forty to be exact, I started my own business at the tender age of nineteen. The street markets in and around Manchester England was my happy hunting ground. Every day was an adventure and despite the weather and difficulties of getting a stall on the street market, life was always fun and enjoyable. There was always some comical incident, even when I had to stand in the pouring rain, with no customers in sight. And if there was no amusing event to focus on I created one and made other people laugh. Don?t Stop Asking So Many Questions A few weeks ago I took my boy on a trip that we make together every year. We left the house at 6 am on Monday and got home at 9 pm on Thursday. That is just 87 hours. However, that is 84,293 questions! Hows Work Going?

I usually do this when I get the sense that I am surrounded by stale energy. Most people can easily pick up on this kind of vibe -- emotionally you might be feeling stuck, bored, frustrated, or discouraged. This stale energy also often manifests itself on the physical plane -- the phone never rings, your loved ones and pets seem irritable, and the bills arrive long before you collect the money to pay them. Success Achievement Secrets You can achieve whatever you want by incorporating the following components into your daily schedule. Consistency is key. To enjoy positive results, you need to make these secrets a way of life. All of the secrets are equally important. You can't pick and choose. These secrets are not sequential steps. They all have to be utilized simultaneously. Dare to Dream Again Do you remember when you were a child and no dream seemed too big? Some of us thought we would walk on the moon; some dreamed of riding with Roy Rogers; others imagined stepping to the plate in a big-league game. Every one of us, when we were young, had a common trait - we were dreamers. The world hadn't gotten to us yet to show us that we couldn't possibly achieve what our hearts longed for. And we were yet still years from realizing that in some cases we weren't built for achieving our dream (I realized about my junior year of high school that I was too short and to slow to play professional basketball. The dreamer is always the last to know). The Disciplines of Success Success, in the dictionary, is defined as, "The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted." So why is success in our society defined by the balance in your bank account, the car you drive, or how big your house is? You are successful if you are a lawyer, doctor, or movie actor with a six figure income. You should be able to be called a "success" when you have been able to do anything and everything you have wanted to do in your life. Shouldn't success be defined as being able to do what your passion is in life? Shouldn't you be successful when you have achieved complete happiness? Besides money, wealth should include your spiritual, physical and mental well-being. From Rags To Riches Nicholas Darvas, escaping his war-torn homeland, Hungary, sought refuge in Turkey in June 1943. In Istanbul, however, he faced a new crisis. Now, he had no friends, no money, no knowledge of Turkish, and no citizenship. He risked starvation. He also risked losing his sense of being special. He didn't want to be poor and hungry for the rest of his life. No, he had fonder hopes for himself. He wanted to thrive. He wanted to be an outrageous success.

Affirm Your Intentions - Achieve Your Goals Affirmations are emotionally driven statements of intention and faith that guide thought and action. Affirmation comes from the Latin firmus, meaning strong. Affirmations recognize and assert the existence of personal truths. These statements can be powerfully effective for developing and strengthening thought patterns, and thus actions, needed to achieve goals. These thought patterns also attract the situations we affirm to be true. Top 10 Tools for a Strong Personal Foundation Coaching is about living great lives. It's about living lives based on our values, our priorities and our choices. And, as in building a great building, it takes a very strong foundation. In fact, the more spectacular the visible parts of the building are going to be, the more time and precision has to go into preparing the supporting structures and systems underneath. But one of the most difficult things in life is spending the necessary time on the foundations. The DNA of Top Achievers Of course by now we are all becoming aware of DNA. It is the source code that determines who we are. When we look at DNA we can see what a person will look like, what diseases they may come down with, etc. This has been a tremendous breakthrough for scientists and will continue to be so for some time, I think. The Clichés of Success The problem with writing about success is that almost everything ends up sounding like a cliché. It has all been said before. It has all been read or heard before. There are no new secret formulas; no new tricks to creating success or being successful; nothing new to write about.
