Do
you have what it takes to be really successful?
Have you ever thought about what you
must be prepared to endure and do in order
to be successful in business or your career?
I think I have been asked at least 5,000
times what it really takes to be successful
in business, so I jotted down 10 questions
you can use to gauge whether you already
have what it takes, or if you need to
do a little "work" to get there.
Many years ago I heard Jim Rohn say that
you either pay the price of discipline
or the price of regret. Discipline weighs
ounces.regret weighs tons!
With that said, here are 10 questions
to ask yourself:
- Are you disciplined?
- Do you take rejection personally?
What about criticism?
- Do you bounce back quickly from making
errors or failing over and over again?
- Are you a planner or do you do things
by the seat of your pants?
- Are you prepared to take risks? Moderate
or Big?
- Do you stay focused on one thing and
one thing only until the result you
want is achieved?
- Do you have the stamina to keep going
long after everyone else is tired?
- Can you delegate well, or are you
the only one who can do things right?
- Do you wait for things to happen or
do you aggressively go after what you
want?
- Do you do whatever it takes to achieve
your goals or just what's convenient?
These questions are critical for you
to ask yourself in order to get a true
picture of your nature and behavior.
What I have found is that successful
people are aware of the consequences of
not being efficient in these areas, and
find other ways, resources or people to
manage for them.
Food for thought?
Remember to create a masterpiece!
