What to Read for Inspiration (Everything)
Here’s a million dollars worth of advice: Read. Read anything and everything.
The Fred Flintstone-Ralph Cramden School Of Success
Success is an odd thing. Almost everyone knows how to be successful but almost no one chooses to work at it.
Are You Open to Being Inspired?
Do you allow yourself to be inspired? Or are you too cynical for that?
Consistency and Reproducibility
Why does McDonald’s restaurant succeed? When one-of-a-kind restaurants come and go all the time, why does a chain like Red Robin or Chevy’s or IHOP survive? Because they have consistency and reproducibility. You need this too.
Everything You Need To Be Successful
Do you make excuses about why you “can’t” be successful in some area of your life? What’s the excuse? I’m not good at that? I don’t have that talent? Other people are smarter?
Focus on Success
In the most basic sense, to focus means to put your attention on something. But focus is not a simple thing.
The Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living
I’m sure you’ve read this quote before: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates said that at his trial for heresy. He was on trial for encouraging his students to challenge the accepted beliefs of the time and think for themselves.
Clearing Up the Question of Relaxation
Perhaps the area of greatest confusion regarding the philosophy of “Relax Focus Succeed” is the Relax part. After all, we live in a society that does everything but relax.
Assigning Priorities
If the problem is that we don’t have a system to assign priorities to tasks, you might think the answer is to develop such a system. Unfortunately, that’s not the answer. Simply imposing a system of priorities might do some good, especially if you can get others to go along.
Take Advice!
Take my advice: Take other people’s advice.
