Success and the Superhero
| Guest post by: Traci Hayner Vanover |
Article Overview: Superheroes, like business owners, have to take action. They aren't content to sit on the sidelines, and they don't stand idly by waiting to see if someone else will swoop in and save the day. Both the business owner, and the superhero know that the time for action is now.

Success and the Superhero
As a kid, I was never really into superheroes. I
suppose I had a vague knowledge of the "major players" like Batman and
Superman - but, beyond that, I was pretty much in the dark. These days,
you'd have to be bunking with Bin Laden in a cave somewhere to be
oblivious to superheroes. They're everywhere.
Good grief - they've even developed a reality show (complete with Stan Lee, no less) in search of folks who want to be superheroes. And, if that weren't enough, NBC went out and created a whole new set of Heroes that are poised to take on the evildoers of the world.
By now you are no doubt asking yourself - "so, what does this have to do with business?" In a word, everything. Being a success in business is a lot like being a superhero. Superheroes, like business owners, have to take action. They aren't content to sit on the sidelines, and they don't stand idly by waiting to see if someone else will swoop in and save the day. Both the business owner, and the superhero know that the time for action is now.
Action wins wars, sells products, and gets the girl. It's as simple as that. How many times have you read the success stories of bootstrap entrepreneurs that have gone on to create empires from nothing? And, how many times have you asked yourself afterward, "what does he have that I don't?"
Action can be the most important gadget in the superhero arsenal. And, it can be your most trusted tool as a business owner. Fortune favors the bold. That doesn't mean you should be reckless, mind you. It only means that there is a time to plan, and a time to prepare.
There is also a time to fling off the Clark Kent glasses, rip open your shirt and display that Superman suit underneath. Grab your courage, your cape, and go for it. You may not be a success the first time out of the phone booth. But you'll never know unless you try.

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.
My Success Acronyn in Success Breakthroughs(c) is:
