How to Create Success in “JUST 10″

Posted by Ann Evanston in Featured Articles, Mental Mind Shifts on April 6, 2010 | View Comments

This morning I was thinking about success and wanted to share with you. Thank you Candace Davenport for sharing Jeff Olsons book: “The Slight Edge” with me!

What does success mean to you? How do you practice “continuous movement”? If you had to recommend a book or CD what would it be and why?

I love the definition of success, that it's a process over time. I love your assessment that 10% of our learning needs to come from a coach... right now, that, for me, is my literary publicist. She is my "touch bases with" person right now and it's phenomenal the way in which my OTJ has improved and become more focused, more professional, more direct. I love the "just 10" suggestion and plan to try it. Have agreat day yourself. :)

Thanks, Ann, for the great tip about spending 10 minutes a day working on your goals/development. I often forget to spend that focused time in the midst of "getting things done". Better to be proactive and focused than just reactive. The success as a process quote is great. My own personal motto: Success is a thousand tiny steps.

I really resonated with the definition of success as a process, particularly where the work is done by the time you get the feedback. I find that if I stay focused solely on the future I miss celebrating the successes I have already achieved. Without others looking on (mentors, coaches, friends) to point out how far I've come I often only see how far I have to go.

Part of success to me is remembering that it's the journey that we need to enjoy and celebrate. By the time we approach the intended destination, we will be on another journey.

As I read your comment Kerry I thought about Stephen Covey - he says highly successful people celebrate success along the way. Unsuccessful people focus on what they are not achieving!

Success to me is something that happens over time as you said in the video. It's fine tuning your goals and strategies to achieve the "big rocks" in your life. It's an evolution, and for me it's been the process of moving more and more towards only focusing on my passion and not what others have told me my whole life I'm supposed to do. It's also doing the best you can do at the moment, and letting go what you couldn't get done. There's always tomorrow. Thanks Ann!
