Maybe we haven't been properly educated in the game of success. And the truth about high achievement and success is that it occurs on purpose, by design, through the tremendous commitment and persistence of individuals who have chosen the harder path.

Posted by: Tony | January 18, 2011 at 07:24 PM Chris, What a great post. I had a successful return rate about 20 to 30% higher than everyone else's, and when the boss ran the numbers and finally figured it out, I was asked in a staff meeting to explain my techniques. I love this. Work hard, play hard. There is the fun.

Leadership success is largely dependent upon the leader's ability to think through situations and arrive at root causes. But we must develop the belief that problems can be solved. It is not enough to be "doing something," we must learn to do the correct things. In short, the best leaders identify problems, then solve them.

Learning what those are is a big key to your success. It's what we know that just isn't so that holds us back the most. Deliberate practice over time is what separates the great performers from the great pretenders. Don't forget that adversity is not your enemy. You don't need to do everything well - just certain things.

We'd been in business with people and developed friendships, celebrating their successes and having them celebrate ours. Before, celebrating success on a team meant if someone on our team, or related to our team, won. We were just as thrilled and delighted for the successes of other leaders of other teams as we were for our own.

You see, I contend that part of what was amiss with Steve Jobs in his first run-up to success was that he didn't understand the nature of his own genius. But along the way he did a few things correctly, which morphed into his eventual success and return to the top. I had a mac plus in the 80's, now I have a mac book pro.

Fear of success or failure. Procrastination is not an excuse, it is an action taken because of your excuse. Although some people may avoid their destiny be "getting to it later", I feel that it can be fear holding them back. What if our calling is not a popular one?
