THE SEVEN ‘C's OF SUCCESS

Get ready to sail the Seven C's - the Seven C's of Success that is. Learn to

navigate your ship of destiny in these seven "C's" if 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 a bigger vision than simply accomplishing a

goal for ourselves or simply lining our own pockets. I believe that successful

people have a deep caring for others. Yes, they are aggressive, but they are

not aggressive to the point that they run roughshod over others.Question: What

is your care factor? Have you placed people in their proper place, as people

worthy of dignity, respect, and proper treatment? Or have you begun to treat

others as a means to an end for yourself?2. Character - Becoming a success is

more than increasing the digits in your bank account. In fact, I believe ANYONE

can increase his or her bank account with a simple plan. Financial development

is the easy part.

 

Character development is the hard part, letting each and every experience shape

and mold us as we experience them, always moving toward our goal and never

allowing 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 each passing 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 and destiny will be because you

choose to move toward it. The actions that you choose, each and every day will

add up, over the long-term, to your final destination. The power we have as

humans to choose is one of the greatest gifts known to mankind.Question: Do you

choose success with each and every choice you make? Each choice you make either

moves you toward your goal or away from it. Which do you choose?4.

Concentration - Often those who fail do so because they lose their

concentration. 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 on the goal.

One of my favorite posters as a boy was of George Brett of the Kansas City

Royals Baseball Team. The picture was taken just as the bat was hitting the

ball. Where were George's eyes? Straight down the barrel of the bat, looking at

the point where the ball and bat came together. Now that is

concentration!Question: How is your concentration? Do you stick to your goal

and focus firmly 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, and more

than that, the confidence to win. Confidence is something that you can grow in

your mind and heart. Each passing victory that you achieve builds more and more

confidence in you to draw from the next time you go to fight another battle on

your journey to success. Do what you can to build confidence inside of yourself

so you will be able to dip deeply into that well when you need it!Question: How

is your confidence? Do you believe that you can achieve what you conceive? Are

you winning victories that you can then draw on later?6. Consistency - People

who become a success realise that to a great degree, success is a formula. At

the very least it is sticking to doing the right things for a long enough

period of time for them to create their destiny. This is consistency. They

consistently do the things that will bring them their success. Tiger Woods hits

hundreds of practice balls each and every day. He doesn't do 100 one day, then

two days off, then 500 balls, then a day off, then 300 balls, then three days

off. No, he knows the power of consistency and has achieved a level of success

that that consistency formulated for him.Question: How is your consistency? Are

you consistent? Are you doing the things 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 success has its challenges, yet they face them head on and

move forward anyway. No mountain is too high, nor river too wide, nor foe too

large for the person who will choose to live out their dreams! They are

courageous people who continue on even when others have quit. And for that they

receive their reward!Question: How about you? Are you courageous? Are you

willing to face the obstacles and move forward in spite of the fear that may

try to well up within you? Be courageous and you will succeed!There they are,

the Seven C's of Success. Set sail

today!CaringCharacterChoiceConcentrationConfidenceConsistencyCourage

 

"Ultimately the people who win, who achieve victory in Life are the people who

are committed to it. They outlast everybody else. Because quite frankly, all

success in business, relationships & life comes at the end of the road of

commitment!"
