The Seven C's of Success
by Brian Tracy
After having studied top achievers and peak performers
over the past 25 years, I've concluded that these
unique men and women have, in most cases, mastered
what I call the Seven C's of Success.
Clarity - Eighty percent of success comes
from being clear on who you are, what you believe
in and what you want.
Competence - You can't climb to the next
rung on the ladder until you are excellent at
what you do now.
Constraints - Eighty percent of all obstacles
to success come from within. Find out what is
constraining in you or your company and deal with
it
Concentration - The ability to focus on
one thing single-mindedly and see it through until
it's done takes more character than anything else.
Creativity - Flood your life with ideas
from many sources. Creativity needs to be exercised
like a muscle, if you don't use it you'll lose
it.
Courage - Most in demand and least in
supply, courage is the willingness to do the things
you know are right
Continuous learning – Read, at the
very least, one book a week on business to keep
you miles ahead of the competition. And just as
you eat and bathe, organize your time so you spend
30 minutes a day exploring e-mail, sending messages,
going through web sites, because like exercise,
it's the only way you can keep on top of technology.
If you get away from it, you'll lose your edge.
