We have been looking at success from a number of different
angles. Sometimes you just run across someone with a nice
little formula that works for what we are interested in or
want to say.
During a recent trip to Sedona I participated in a number
of sessions that had to do with creating business success.
Laural Langemeier taught us about the lack of education in
financial matters in our schools, colleges and
universities. She made it clear that you need talent for
what you want to do, but you also need to surround yourself
with the right people to get good advice. For me one aspect
was the relevance of talent. Laural's site at Live out Loud
is a great resource and I have completed their coaching
program myself.
Besides talent, we all have heard that it takes massive
action to move things from where they are to where they
need to go. Many people speak and write about it. One of
the most elegant ways I have seen recently is a story, or I
should say a fable or parable. In Life's Golden Ticket
Brendon Burchard explains how one can loose the right
perspective on taking action because he or she is afraid to
make mistakes or receive punishment when something goes
wrong.
Taking massive action is very important for me and I am
hoping to invite you to do the same. I am currently trying
to find people who want to take action with me, and help
make AMC LLC into a better, more profitable company with
the aim to serve our clients even better than we currently
do, especially through an e-commerce presence.
One thing that Gina Gaudio-Graves taught me is the
importance of passion. If you think about it, why would you
ever start something or do something for a prolonged period
of time if you are not passionate about it. Actually that
reminds me of an earlier article in which I recalled a
sentence Henry Gold said not too long ago reciting the
definition of insanity. Remember, insanity is doing the
same thing over and over and expecting different results.
What we really want to do is spending time on the things we
are really passionate about. Then these things will not
appear to be work or chores but something we really enjoy
and don't mind to use our valuable time for.
The final part of a formula for success is called
association. You can also call it networking. Everybody
these days is talking about it and it really makes a
difference. Whether you are a member at LinkedIn, Plaxo,
MySpace, Xing, or other networks, it is important to be
connected if you want to become successful. Kevin Nations
is one of the foremost networkers in the United States and
he does everything he can to get peoples contact info and
then stay in touch with them.
Taken these aspects together, what are the 4 components of
success?
1. Passion
2. Talent
3. Action
4. Association/Networking
When you put it in a formula, what you get is this:
P + T x A² = SUCCESS
All you need to do is take it and go out and apply it. Take
your passion and apply your talent to it. If you are
passionate about it, you are probably already talented in
it, or can become a great talent quickly. Then you take
massive action and throw in lots of networking with
everybody you can, and you can't avoid success. If you use
the positive energy I always recommend, and you will feel
when you do something you are passionate about, you will
become an attraction for others.
Try it and let me know how it worked for you.
