The Seven Cs of Success


Get ready to sail the Seven C's - the Seven C's of Success that is. Get onboard and ride this ship to your destiny! There are Seven C's you must sailif you want to be a total success. Here they are, in alphabetical order:

1. Caring - I believe that to be a true success in this world we must have abigger vision than simply accomplishing a goal for ourselves or simplylining our own pockets. I believe that successful people have a deep carefor others. Yes, they are aggressive, but they are not aggressive to thepoint that they run roughshod over others.

Question: What is your care factor? Have you placed people in their properplace, as people worthy of dignity, respect, and proper treatment? Or haveyou begun to treat others as a means to an end for yourself?

2. Character - Becoming a success is more than increasing the digits in yourbank account. In fact, I believe ANYONE can increase his or her bank accountwith a simple plan. Financial development is the easy part. Characterdevelopment is the hard part, letting each and every experience shape andmold us as we experience them, always moving toward our goal and neverallowing negative circumstances to destroy us but make us better people.This is what true success is about!

Question: How is your character? Are you becoming a better person with eachpassing experience? Are you becoming a rock of wisdom and experience,deepening your foundation of character?

3. Choice - Eisenhower reminded us that our histories are written by choice,not by chance. Every movement you make toward your ultimate success anddestiny will be because you choose to move toward it. The actions that youchoose, each and every day will add up, over the long-term, to your finaldestination. The power we have as humans to choose is one of the greatestgifts known to mankind.

Question: Do you choose success with each and every choice you make? Eachchoice you make either moves you toward your goal or away from it. Which doyou choose?

4. Concentration - Often those who fail do so because they lose theirconcentration. Something else comes along and becomes their newfound fancy.They move from whim to whim, tossed to and fro by the strong blowing winds.The successful person however, stands firm, with their eyes transfixed onthe goal. One of my favorite posters as a boy was of George Brett of theKansas City Royals Baseball Team. They picture was taken just as the bat washitting the ball. Where were George's eyes? Straight down the barrel of thebat, looking at the point where the ball and bat came together. Now that isconcentration!

Question: How is your concentration? Do you stick to your goal and focusfirmly on it, or do you let your mind and heart wander from whim to whim?

5. Confidence - Success comes to those who have the confidence to try, andmore than that, the confidence to win. Confidence is something that you cangrow in your mind and heart. Each passing victory that you achieve buildsmore and more confidence in you to draw from the next time you go to fightanother battle on your journey to success. Do what you can to buildconfidence inside of yourself so you will be able to dip deeply into thatwell when you need it!

Question: How is your confidence? Do you believe that you can achieve whatyou conceive? Are you winning victories that you can then draw on later?

6. Consistency - People who become a success realize that to a great degree,success is a formula. At the very least it is sticking to doing the rightthings for a long enough period of time for them to create their destiny.This is consistency. They consistently do the things that will bring themtheir success. Tiger Woods hits hundreds of practice balls each and everyday. He doesn't do 100 one day, then two days off, then 500 balls, then aday off, then 300 balls, then three days off. No, he knows the power ofconsistency and has achieved a level of success that that consistencyformulated for him.

Question: How is your consistency? Are you consistent? Are you doing thethings you need to do each and every day that will bring your goal to you?

7. Courage - Successful people are brave people. They know that even successhas its challenges, yet they face them head on and move forward anyway. Nomountain is too high, nor river too wide, nor foe too large for the personwho will choose to live out their dreams! They are courageous people whocontinue on even when others have quit. And for that they receive theirreward!

Question: How about you? Are you courageous? Are you willing to face theobstacles and move forward in spite of the fear that may try to well upwithin you? Be courageous and you will succeed!

There they are, the Seven C's of Success. Set sail today!
