Everything has a reason and a season.
You are here because of your natural desire to develop into one of those amazing beings on this earth.
Our paths have crossed because I believe there is so much we can learn from each other.
Let me share with you some learning I've got from one of my mentors.
These are simple yet powerful beliefs I've learned.
And this is all about success...
Most of us have one way or the other watched an NBA Championship series.
You would agree with me that it's always exciting - from the start of the series until the end.
Every game is fought hard by the competing teams.
Each individual player is doing their best to contribute to their teams in order to win the series.
If you'd also notice, seldom does a winning team win the series by a sweep.
It's always a neck-to-neck battle.
Each team not giving up, always fighting hard.
The team that plays the hardest & the most consistent is always successful in the end.
One success lesson we can learn about the above-mentioned example is that "Success is playing to the level of your competition...
" You can achieve success only if you play to the level of your competition.
You must strive to always focus on improving your skill - developing yourself to becoming greater than your competitor, dominating all areas of the game.
Success is not achieved only by focusing on yourself alone; it is also achieved by surrounding yourself with people greater and more successful than you.
"Success is who you're playing with.
" As Michael Jordan said during his time with the Chicago Bulls - "I am the best player because I play with the best players in the world.
" So go ahead and ask yourself the following questions.
· Who am I surrounding myself with? · Who am I listening to and watching as I build and develop myself and my business? Your answers to these questions will determine how well you fare in the business, in success and in life.
Here are some tips which can be useful to all of us: 1.
Always surround yourself with people who are more successful than you.
Look at the people you always hang out with.
Look at their achievements, their outlook, and their lives.
If the 10 closest people you hang out with are "losers", it's just a matter of time before you become #11.
By hanging out with these people, you tend to adopt their ways, their thinking, and their beliefs.
2.
Look for a success model you can connect with.
Communicate with him/ her regularly.
Let him guide you to success.
By doing so, you shorten your learning curves and you avoid some mistakes.
This is the fastest way you can achieve success.
3.
Surround yourself with a group of "like-minded" people.
Have this as your "Mastermind" group.
Be accountable for each others' success.
Share ideas.
Give and receive feedback.
This way, you can leverage on each others' talents and experiences.
You can play to the level of your competition.
With your mastermind group, you have a better chance of success.
Always remember, the higher you'll climb the ladder of success, the more you need to surround yourself with successful people - those who have gone ahead of you - so you can learn from them.
So get to it! Start making new friends.
Build alliances with people who are destined for greatness.
Your Net-work will determine your Net-Worth...
Always remember, "Employees get paid by trading time; Entrepreneurs get paid by the value they provide to the community.
" Shine forth and be a rich blessing to others.
To God Be The Glory, Neo C.
