My Observations On The Process of Winning...
Before I give you the PRINCIPLES, please take a moment to think about the above, together with my observations:
- Winners have a strong sense of purpose, mission and clarity of
VISION—with the ability to turn their dreams and goals into solid
EXPECTATIONS upon which they can take ACTION.
Winners know WHO they are... WHY they are here... and WHAT they are going DO with the only life they have to live.
They have given themselves PERMISSION to EXPECT success rather than to FEAR failure. They then PROMISE themselves to live up to those EXPECTATIONS.
- Winners are successful, because they are able to
transform their EXPECTATIONS into tangible RESULTS over Time. They LIVE
their vision rather than just DREAM about it.
- Winners produce better RESULTS, because they have the POWER to consistently Perform better. Consistency of performance is what leads to consistency of winning.
- Winners have more POWER, because
they have fewer NEGATIVES and more POSITIVES driving their performance
at any point in time. You can SEE it in their performance.
Winners are highly Energetic, Passionate, Enthusiastic, Self-directed, Focused, Supportive, Systematic, Organized and Action Oriented.
By contrast, how successful can you be if you are frequently Drained, Directionless, Pessimistic, Rash, Vague, Critical, Haphazard and Hesitant?
- Winners have more POSITIVES driving their performance, because each of the 10 COLORS in their Performance Spectrum is consistently burning brighter.
- Their COLORS burn brighter, because they have the SKILLS to transform Negatives holding them back into Positives that produce the Results they Expect.
- Winners Consistently produce superior Results over Time, because they consistently improve their Power of TQ over Time—which, of course, leads to bigger dreams, goals, visions and EXPECTATIONS.
Tomorrow, I will reduce this observation down to the bear essence... the 7 simple PRINCIPLES of WINNING the game of SUCCESS.
Until then, I want you to think about your WIN/LOSS record again. Not to dwell on your losses, but to discover issues in your performance that, when corrected, will allow you to WIN a great deal more frequently.

Time Horizon: Labor Day.
Look at your 3 goals. What will it take for you to WIN these by Labor Day, 2012?
Believe Emerson. Believe Larry Bird.
Believe Ali. Believe me.
No one is going to just hand you these 3 goals anymore than they will hand you a prize for just showing up.
The Bottom Line...
You can WIN a great deal more frequently. You can reach your aspirations.
Break free of your comfort zone... extend your grasp.
The best advice I can give you right now is this: Stop dabbling at it. Give it all you've got. -- E.R. Haas, CEO
