Formula for Success


“Don’t bother just to be
better than your
contemporaries or predecessors.
Try to be better than yourself.”
William Faulkner, author


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Formula for success

To become a truly effective business professional we have to focus on becoming the best at what we do.

We often look at our contemporaries as our competition and strive to become better than they are which is a step in the success journey, but not the only step.

Unfortunately we’re not able to control our contemporaries, their level of expertise, or their business.

The great news is that we can control our level of expertise, our business and our success.

To reach our full potential the key is continuous personal improvement and to concentrate on our priorities to achieve our desired outcomes.

Recognize that we have to get better than the competition but what is critical is for us to continuously become better at what we do.
