Three aspects for success
A definition…
The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted: attributed their success in business to hard work.
Being successful…
How can we ensure success for ourselves and those around us?
There are many aspects that contribute to success.
Three key areas to consider are the aspects around Skill, Attitude and Activity.
SKILLS – You need to gain a skill, develop your skills, continue to improve your skills and maintain your competency levels.
ATTITUDE – Is your glass half full or half empty? Are you positive that you will achieve your goals or are you expecting something bad to happen? Maintaining a positive mental attitude is fundamental to improving your performance. Motivating others will help them to improve their performance.
ACTIVITY – Are we really putting in the right level of effort? Are we busy fools? Do we spend our time wisely during the day – what more could we do?
For long term success you need to be working on all three of these activities.
If you are happy with sporting analogies, imagine the core skills a sportsmen or a woman is born with. These need ongoing development and improvement. Their attitude needs to be focused and positive and they need to put in the practice to ensure they can perform at the highest level when it matters.
As South African golfer, Gary Player (who won 9 major championships) famously said, “The harder you work, the luckier you get”.
Are you developing your skills, maintaining a positive attitude and really conducting the activity you need for your success?
