[Daily Impact] Your Success “Hinges” Upon These 5 Principles...
Success — however one defines it and in whatever context — is always an inside job. Indeed, it would seem very accurate to say that... Key Point: While success *manifests* outwardly, it *begins* in the head and in the heart. It begins with the decision to be the kind of person worthy of success and being willing to take the actions necessary to bring it about. Then it is a matter of discovering the how-tos. Good News: There are lots of principles and strategies one can learn, tap into, and apply to create success, both personally and professionally. Many of these date back to antiquity and are derived from a number of different traditions and philosophies. They are all very valuable and worthy of continuous study. There are also books written by current authors who generously share their wisdom with us. While there’s “nothing new under the sun,” it’s wonderful how they apply universal principles of success to our modern times. Two dear, long-time friends of mine — serial (and immensely successful) entrepreneurs Frank and Theresa AuCoin — wrote a book on financial success titled Ten Legacy Lessons of Wealth: What the Wealthy Teach Their Children That the Masses Don’t Know. While filled with wisdom throughout, the couple highlights five principles that, in my opinion, ensure success for anyone who follows them faithfully.
