Recipes for Success

Those B School recipes for success need an update. Why?

First of all - we're moving too fast to follow any set recipe. What was true last month may be old news today. Even as our value slides from 'Oh Wow' to 'Ho Hum' in a matter of months, our markets spin in new directions. Buyers change, fads change, the economy changes. Market ingredients will change, so wed better be ready to improvise quickly. Following that recipe just may end up cooking our goose!

Secondly - no two companies can follow the same recipe and be successful. The patterned recipe for cooking up business success doesn't work in today's dynamic markets. Every business situation is unique. That means every business has to create its success based on their specific situational ingredients at a given point in time, evolving their recipe in real-time as their markets change.

The Bottom Line? We have to think for ourselves.

We say we've always thought for ourselves- but have we really? We've sliced the pie, jumped across the big chasm, dived into the bright blue ocean or followed that popular strategic recipe for years. That's not a bad thing - it's just not the best way to be different - and successful.

Situational thinking is today's recipe for success.

To thrive in today's markets, I think we all have to throw out our old and tired recipe books and start thinking differently. We get the chance to improvise, to create value and distinction in a world of limitless possibilities.We get to spin on a dime, evolve in real-time and cook up compelling new value combinations and go-to-market strategies to power our success.

I think that's exciting. Tomorrow, I'll share a bit about how I'm changing my own recipe... In the meantime, what do you think about all these tried and true recipes for success? Are you already thinking differently?

I've been an executive consultant for over 20 years now.  I work with boards of directors, executive teams, sales, marketing and product management to create business and go-to-market strategies that drive profitable growth. My clients hire me for my expertise in business strategy, corporate and product market positioning and high momentum market launches. I also assist with fund raising and M&A strategies. 

My best selling market strategy book - Defy Gravity - shares the lessons I've learned in my client engagements. I'm thrilled to be able to share these experiences with business leaders in a variety of markets. We all have Gravity - myself included! When we shift from gravity thinking - high velocity growth is ours for the taking!

I'm honored to have been featured in media including Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc, Business Insider, Startup Nation, First Business TV, ChangeThis.com, 800CEORead, Exceptional People and more. I'm a frequent radio show guest - sharing tips 'n tricks to help all business leaders excel. I'm also an executive speaker for companies, associations, events and audiences who are ready to Shift - from Gravity to High Velocity Growth.

Re: THE SECRET TO SUCCESS IS ALL IN YOUR HEAD...RIGHT NOW!!! Re: THE SECRET TO SUCCESS IS ALL IN YOUR HEAD...RIGHT NOW!!! - Success = Thinking (Head) + Heart (Feeling / Interest) + Hand (doing/ action). Success - H3 Robert
Re: 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 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. My Success Acronyn in Success Breakthroughs(c) is: S pecific & self-directed U nlimited opportunities & possibilities C reate powerful outcomes C onsistent measureable results E xperience pwoerful transformation S olution and action-oriented S uccessful habits and outcomes Break Through to Powerful LIfestyle & Performance Choices Moira
