  APPROACH TO SUCCESS  
     
 

....If there were one approach it would be to always see the larger picture while at the same time adding persistence, a thirst for learning, unbridled passion, hand to hand combat and the ability to focus on a goal until it is yours. Almost every morning I read a goals book I've created that has affirmations and goals with a ton of score cards. Each one representing goals that I wish to achieve during my lifetime. Some are economic, some health related and other personal including time with my wife and children. I have bar charts and pie charts, grids and check lists. Some cover gross sales and retirement funding, others for number of articles published, media interviews and even books read during the year. Some are surprised that I even have outlined the number of books I will read, art projects to be completed and dinners out with friends. Surprisingly none of this gives me apprehension or the dreaded stress. It actually revitalizes me and focuses me on enjoying life so that it does not pass me by. Hence, I even have a success chart to record what I've done well at during the year to celebrate the lost and often forgotten moments. Even the goal to spend time with my wife is one I cherish just as much as the other goals on the list. It's like and athlete focused on a medal. You realize you must practice everyday and the coach keeps you on target, In life we tend to be our own coach most of the time.
