How to Achieve Success: Where Ever You Are – Be There!
| Guest post by: Roger Ingbretsen |
Article Overview: Habitual routines and multi-tasking may make you feel busy, but they will not provide the structure both on and off the job that will make you lead a balanced and successful life. Success in any area of your life requires clarity, focus and execution. Success is all about doing the right things, at the right time, in the right manner… and for the right reason.

How to Achieve Success: Where Ever You Are – Be There!
Sitting at the kitchen table the other night, my wife asked
me, “What is your favorite quotation?” Without hesitation I said; “Where ever
you are, be there.” I went on to explain, that quotation was a life changer for
me. Working in the go-go high-tech world for the past three decades,
multi-tasking was the buzzword of many individuals. I too had been caught up
the madness. I came to realize that most if not all people who claimed to be
good at multi-tasking were if fact not very effective, lived unbalanced lives
and appeared to be in a constant state of panic and/or stress.
When I began to “live in the moment” or be fully focused on
my present situation or surroundings, I became more effective in whatever it
was that I was doing in three distinct areas.
1. I began to think more clearly whether on or off the job.
2. I became fully focused on and enjoyed what I was doing.
3. My execution and completion rate became most often right
on target.
When in a work situation I prioritize what is most important
for the good of the organization, which in turn is good for my career. Whatever
I am working on receives my full attention. I am fully immersed in the
activity. I am able to see clearly, focus on what needs to be done and picture
what it will look and feel like to execute the project or task on-time, and to
the quality standards required for success.
When multi-tasking, clear thinking or clarity of purpose is
very hard to accomplish. Thinking becomes muddled and distorted. Important details
are missed, not communicated or forgotten. This results in doing things over,
poor quality work or lost time and wasted effort. Clarity is one of the biggest
casualties of multi-tasking. Without a clear understanding of what needs to be
accomplished or what is the specific desired end result, it is virtually
impossible to achieve success.
What do the words “fully focused” really mean with regard to
being there? Picture if you will a young couple out on a dinner date. If in
love, they are leaning over the table, holding hands, eyes looking intently at
each other, both listening to each others every word. They are fully focused!
Picture an older couple out for dinner. He is reading a paper; she is reading a
menu, neither is talking. They are not focused.
If you want to improve your relationships…Be there! When at
work be attentive, listen carefully and be engaged with your colleagues. When
on the golf course enjoy the company of your friends and soak in the experience
of the game and your surroundings. When at the dinner table enjoy the meal and
have good conversations with your spouse and/or family members and friends.
When on vacation, be there, not back at the office or thinking of things that
you possibly should be doing at home.
Habitual routines and multi-tasking may make you feel busy,
but they will not provide the structure both on and off the job that will make
you lead a balanced and successful life. Success in any area of your life
requires clarity, focus and execution. Success is all about doing the right
things, at the right time, in the right manner… and for the right reason.

Re: Drop out Billionaire
- I reveived Bill Bartmann's DVD "9 Steps To Achieve Any Goal" as part of my monthly pack from Success University a few months back.
It is a great presentation. I've watched it several times but not for a while so I'll view it again in the coming week.
He is one of the greats. Like the best success mentors, he speaks with authority because he has come through much tribulation.
His program sounds like a great bargain at $100 a year.

The 7 Greatest Truths about Successful Women
- Picked up a few books on my weekly trip to the library, thought I'd share their tables of contents.
The 7 Greatest Truths about Successful Women: How You Can Achieve Financial Independence, Professional Freedom, and Personal Joy, by Marion Luna Brem.
From the inside cover: In 1984, battling both cervical and breast cancer, and facing $500,000 in medical bills and a disintegrating marriage, Marion Luna Brem was desperate to find a way to support herself and her two young sons. With more than a few strikes against her, she started knocking on doors, looking for a job. Seventeen doors later, the blunt speaking manager of a car dealership in central TExas declared, "I've been thinking of hiring a broad." And with that invitation, Marion took her own first step on the road to financial independence, yada yada yada
Today, this "broad" owns two automobile dealerships, an advertising agency, and a stake in a local bank. She sits on the boards of several businesses, etc. etc.
1. Who Wants to be her own boss?
2. Ladies, Start your engines
3. Resiliency
4. Nurturing
5. Intuition
6. Creativity
7. Passion
8. Self-Value
9. Sensitivity
10. Leadership
11. Balance
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.
