Success or Failure Sequence

FACT - Your success or failure in any endeavour is predictable

FACT - Self-Awareness holds the key to greater success

5 Steps That Control Your Success or Failure

1. BEHAVIOUR
• What will you do or not do?
• How effectively will you do it?
• How consistently will you do it?

2. FEELINGS
• How do your preferences affect your behaviour?
• How readily will you do something you don’t like or enjoy?
• What creates the feeling you have about anything?

3. ATTITUDES
• How do you view life?
• How does your attitude influence your behaviour?

4. BELIEFS
• What you believe will colour your attitudes, feelings and behaviour.
• Belief does not require something to be true, only that we believe it is.
• You will always act as if what you believe is true.

5. PROGRAMMING
• We believe what we are programmed (taught) to believe.
• Programming sets up a chain reaction that leads to success or failure.

The chain reaction looks like this:
A. Programming creates beliefs
B. Beliefs create attitudes
C. Attitude creates feelings
D. Feelings determine actions
E. Actions create results

This is how your mind works. If you want to create more success in your life you must manage your success or failure sequence. The foundations of your success lie in your programming, so it makes sense to look at your programming first.

FACT – The only person in your life that determines your success is

YOU

FACT – All successful people take charge of their thinking.


FACT – No-one gets successful alone.

Why A Project Fails? - Hello Everyone As the size and complexity of ones business grows, so does their need to effectively manage projects. I have been thinking about the major reasons why a project can go wrong and my limited experience comes up with the following. 1 Leadership: A project manager with leadership skills and not just management skills. 2 Failure to (Foresee and) Plan 3 Failure to Manage: Ineffective change management control methods. Unclear decision making guidelines. 4 Talent: Finding, allocating and developing people 5 Scope: Setting an overly ambitious or amibigious project scope 6 Alignment: When projects are not prioritized in alignment with the business strategy, or project members personal objectives are not in tandem with that of the project / company 7 Lack of Candor: Communication Breakdowns I would be interested in knowing everyone's thoughts on this, especially on ways to overcome the above mentioned obstacles. Cheers!

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!
