The "7 C's": Formula for Sailing to Success
by Harvey Mackay
Success is a journey, not a destination, or so it's been said. You may take a few detours, hit roadblocks and arrive at a different place than you had planned. I'm still on my journey, and I'm offering you my map for smooth sailing while traveling the "Seven C's" of success .

Clarity -
80 percent of success comes from being clear about who you are, what you believe in and what you want. But you must remain committed to what you want and make sure those around you understand what you're hoping to accomplish.

Competence -
You can't climb to the next rung on the ladder until you are excellent at what you do now. Practice makes perfect... not true. Perfect practice makes perfect. Remember two things:
1) the person who knows "how" will always have a job; and
2) the person who knows "why" will always be the boss.

Constraints -
80 percent of all obstacles to success come from within. Find what is constraining in you or your company and deal with it.

Concentration -
The ability to focus on one thing single-mindedly and see it through until it's done is critical to success. Great athletes are famous for concentration and focus. Golf great Ben Hogan stood over a crucial putt. Suddenly, a loud train whistle blared. After he had sunk the putt, someone asked Hogan whether the train whistle had bothered him. "What whistle?" Hogan replied.

Creativity -
Be open to ideas from many sources. Surround yourself with creative people. Creativity needs to be exercised like a muscle: If you don't use it, you'll lose it. Statistics indicate that between the ages of 5 and 17, there is an extreme drop in the creative level in both male and female students. In fact, as you grow older, your creativity level decreases proportionally. The good news is that this trend is reversible as long as you keep challenging yourself. Ask Grandma Moses, who didn't start painting until age 80 and went on to produce more than 1,500 works of art.

Courage -
Most in demand and least in supply, courage is the willingness to do the things you know are right. At times we can all be like the lion in The Wizard of Oz, running a little low on courage. Courage, contrary to popular belief, is not the absence of fear. Courage is the heart to act in spite of fear. Deep down, the cowardly lion had it. You do, too. Don't be afraid to use it.

Continuous Learning -
Set aside time every day, every week and ever month to improve yourself. Read trade publications or books, or listen to audio tapes during your commute to and from work to keep you miles ahead of the competition. Go back to school and take additional classes or join groups or organizations, take lessons... whatever it may be, just, never stop learning. Don't blame other people for your problems that's how you give away control of your life.

[F]rom the emptiness comes forth your dream, through the power of clear intention, through the wisdom of equanimity and compassion, through right action that builds and brings things to clear conclusion. These three building fires exist within each of us, as spirals of energy ever moving, ever bringing forth the fruits of our intention and desire.
