THE SECRETS OF SUCCESS

Dale Carnegie made this observation: "Most of the important
things in the world have been accomplished by people who have
kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all."
In the end, it's the persistent bulldog that will own the backyard.
Perhaps there's some hope for me, after all then!

It's in your moments of decision that your destiny is
shaped." -- Anthony Robbins

"If you've tried to do something and failed you are much better
off, than, if you tried to do nothing and succeeded."

I believe some essential qualities in achieving success in life are:

# DRIVE
# PASSION
# ENERGY
# SELF BELIEF and INNER CONFIDENCE
and most importantly
# HAVING A LIFE PURPOSE

HOW to do it?...Listen to that still inner voice deep within you -
your soul. Nurture your inner qualities of intuition. Focus on your
strengths and build on your weaknesses (but also build up your
strengths even more).

Develop strategic relationships, where you build teams with people
whose skills you lack. Build "win-win" relationships with your
complementary relationships, so you ALL win. It's the process of
synergy at work - that is, 1+1 =3 (or perhaps even 111)

To do this effectively,
you need to share a common vision of where you (and/or your
business) are headed.

To do this you need to be an effective communicator in communicating
your goals and vision to others.

NB: Have a positive outlook on life. ATTITUDE is the most important
ingredient in whether you will be successful. You can everything else,
but without the 'big A', it will be very hard.

Think differently to the masses and let your creative imagination work
for you. The human mind has amazing power. Let it find numerous
unique business ideas for you, if you only ASK it. Then sit back and
wait for the answer to come from the creative subconscious mind.

There are many lucrative undiscovered business and life opportunities
out there, just waiting for you to take ACTION.

Be a person of ACTION. Don't just talk your ideas away. Just be YOU.

THE FINAL WORD:

I truly believe that...
the key steps to achieving success in whatever endeavor you choose
in life are "the A,B,C,D,E" ,ie:

A. ATTITUDE
B. BELIEF
C. COMMITMENT
D. A DREAM (+ DETERMINATION + DISCIPLINE)
E. ENERGY
+ PASSION
+ PURPOSE

= SUCCESS!

Success is a process... as life is the journey,
not the destination. So take pleasure in it.

To YOUR success in 2002

Craig Lock

"You are not in this world to live up to anyone else's expectations
but your OWN."

Honesty, integrity, persistence and ingenuity are the keys to success.

"Success is your birthright. Loss is impossible. Do what you came
here to do. Be what you are."
- Alan Cohen

"Some people dream of success...while others wake up and work
hard at it."

"If you can believe it, you can achieve it. If you can visualize it,
you can realize it!"
