The Success Formula - Right Place - Part 1

(c) 2008 All rights reserved.


I've mentioned that success has a formula. I'm convinced of that. I also mentioned that I'm exploring each element of The Success Formula individually and revealing each element of success individually to you as I study them.

So now the time has come: The first success step in the Success Formula is the right place. We've all heard the old saying that you've got to be in the right place at the right time. But what does that really mean? Where exactly is the right place?

When I thought about what the right place is and where the right place is, I realized that there are several different perspectives on those two questions. My first set of posts will be dedicated to exploring those different perspectives so stay tuned.

The Right Place - Perspective #7

Here is perspective # 7 on being at the right place.



Some people believe that the right place is where there is lack or where things could be. That might seem weird but where others see only lack, these individuals see plenty regardless - so even if they live in place where there is little, they see that lack as opportunity. They believe that because there aren't a lot of things in a given location, they can bring those things to that place and then build prosperity, wealth and success. They know the principles of supply and demand. So they supply the needs of the people who have been living in the place of lack. I will call those people opportunists.

The Success Formula - The Elements - Part 2

I mentioned previously that The Success Formula has different elements. I believe that I was inspired to come up with each different element. So here's the first secret to The Success Formula:


Just like Steven Covey's book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, The Success Formula I am exploring has seven elements. There is not just one thing that will cause success in your life. Instead, it is a combination of things that cause people to be successful. Though I think I've always believed that there was just this one thing that causes success. I also thought that only certain people had that "one thing" and that I didn't have the one thing. I also thought that this one thing was immutable, meaning you are born with it. Thus, you either have that one thing or you don't.



What I learned is that those beliefs are false: there is not this one element that causes success. Certain people do do and have certain elements that cause them to be successful but it's not just one element. It's a combination of elements just as 1 + 1 = 2. I also discovered that I learned the individual elements that cause success. Yes, I learned them. Because I learned what those elements were, those elements were not immutable. Those things could instead be instilled, taught, learned, and will eventually be inherent with practice.



I think that these seven elements, when combined, will cause success and prosperity. Now just as 1 + 1 = 2, I believe The Success Formula will cause success in my life. I'm really looking forward to implementing this formula in my life and seeing its results. I hope you are too.

The Success Formula - Elements - Part 1

In my first blog, I introduced The Success Formula and explained what prompted me to start this blog. Since I am still exploring whether The Success Formula is working in my life, I won't disclose the whole Success Formula yet. The first thing I will tell you though is that The Success Formula has different elements. Every formula has different elements as in 1 + 1 = 2. So I was inspired to come up with these different elements to The Success Formula. These elements, when combined, I believe will lead to the same result. For me, the result I'm looking for is success. So I want to add elements, remove elements, and perfect the elements to get the right combination. But my posts will eventually reveal The Success Formula I'm exploring so keep reading.

The Success Formula Introduction

(c) 2008 All rights reserved

I got the idea for The Success Formula Blog when I was sending out promotional material on MySpace.com. This formula came to mind after realizing for example the power of networking. I gave people the formula to admonish people in the music business that there is a formula for success. I personally don't believe there is one formula; I believe there are formulae. The key is finding the formula or formulae that work for you. Yet no matter what formula you choose, I believe there are certain rules, principles, laws, or fundamentals of success. It is these rules, principles, laws and/or fundamentals of success that I intend to study and share as I embark on my own personal success journey.

Mind you, I am successful now. But like all first born, overachievers, I want to obtain more success in my life. I have hit a certain plateau in my life and now I want to achieve, accomplish, and have more than I do right now. I believe that is is possible. I believe it is obtainable. So I embark. I'm embarking first by using my own formula that I will mention and see how this formula works in my life. Join me if you will (:-)
