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.

1. Clarity - Eighty percent of success comes from being
clear on who you are, what you believe in and what you
want.

2. Competence - You can't climb to the next rung on the
ladder until you are excellent at what you do now.

3. Constraints - Eighty percent of all obstacles to
success come from within. Find out what is constraining
you or your company and deal with it.

4. Concentration - The ability to focus on one thing
single-mindedly and see it through until it's done
takes character and determination.

5. 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.

6. Courage - Most in demand and least in supply, courage
is the willingness to do the things you know are right.

7. 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 websites, 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.

Until next time - Be the Best!
