An Exponential Approach to Success

An Exponential Approach to Success

Earlier this week I was at a client meeting where we were discussing the future of their company and the vision. In the meeting there was conversation about success – what it is to each person and what it looks like when the company is successful. At that moment my mind took off and began exploring this very subject. I left that conference room clear that I would continue exploring this conversation and talk to other people about it – hence, the reason for this blog. Here are my thoughts:

What I realized in the midst of the meeting was how easy it is for leaders or owners in a business to sit around a table and make decisions about what a business will do with its success. In the years of working with businesses I have heard employees share their perspective that the only people benefiting from the success of the business are the same people sitting around that table. What about the employees? What about the clients/customers the company is there to serve? Wouldn’t a company be even more successful if each person within the company was successful? What is success? How often do people within a company talk about what success means to them individually and as a whole? Is success making more money, having a healthy family, buying a home, winning an award, affording a trip around the world, or just getting another person to laugh?

Obviously, success is subjective. Because of the subjectivity, it is important for a business to define what success means to the business and how the success of the business will impact the people (employees, clients, vendors, board members, etc). In my experience good businesses have those conversations, but what about how the success of the people will impact the success of the business. In my experience great businesses talk about how to make the people or the parts of the whole business more successful not just the focus on the business. For me, this conversation is an exponential approach to success.

Re: Success - I study success intently, and would like to share: Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters. FIRST FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Clear, Definite Purpose 3. Committed Decision 4. Take Action In Faith (Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently) I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it. Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula. SECOND FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith) 3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly) This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret). Hope that helps!
Success Strategies - How to get the results you want now? Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are: The Power of Choice Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this. The Power of Focus The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives. The Power of Commitment This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community.
