  • 111. 4 Key Ingredients to Your Recipe for Success

    What is your recipe for success?

    According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, there are four essential ingredients to success.

    "What is the recipe for successful achievement? To my mind there are just four essential ingredients: CHOOSE a career you love, GIVE it the best there is in you, SEIZE your opportunities, and BE a member of a team."   — Ralph Waldo Emerson

     

    Purpose of this Episode

     

    You can create an entree of success in your life and business by mixing four key ingredients into your recipe for success.

     

    Tips Shared in this Episode

     

    Let's break down each phrase of Emerson's statement to discover the exact ingredients in his recipe for success.

     

    (1) Choose a career you love. 

     

    • "Choose." This is an intentional, proactive word. It communicates both decision and ownership. It puts 100 percent of the responsibility for finding work you love on your shoulders.
    • "Love." This word communicates passion, intensity, yearning, appreciation, and commitment.

     

    (2) Give it the best there is in you.

     

    • "Give." Serve instead of taking. Overdeliver. Add value. A key ingredient in the recipe for success is to be altruistic, not self-serving.
    • "Best." Don't check out and whine; show up and shine!  Remember, average never impacts and normal people don't make history.
    • "In You." The ingredients for your success are inside of you, and they can only come out of you when you embrace your best self.

     

    (3) Seize your opportunities.

     

    • "Seize." This is another intentional, proactive word, and it's even more powerful than "choose." It communicates that you catch, grab, and aggressively take hold of something.
    • "Opportunities." Have you ever considered the problems you face are actually opportunities looking for solutions?

     

    (4) Be a member of a team.

     

    • "Be." This is an active word, even though on the surface, it might appear passive. Your doing is shaped by your being, so in order to "do" anything of significance on a consistent basis, you have to actively invest time and energy into personal development.
    • "Member." Again, on the surface, this word does not seem to be an active word either, but it's very active. You have to step forward to become a member.
    • "Team." The teams you choose in life and business shape you tremendously. As Jim Rohn said, "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."

     

    Call to Action

     

    Did you notice the first word of every ingredient in Emerson's recipe for success requires action?

     

    • Choose.
    • Give.
    • Seize.
    • Be.

     

    Bottom line, if you want an entree of success in your life and business, you must actively mix the four ingredients in this recipe of success — choose work you love, give your best, seize opportunities, and be a team member.

    The message of The Big Leap http://amzn.to/2jO1v7W, by Gay Hendricks, ties into the DREAM-to-DO message Kent shares on this podcast. That’s why we’ve created a 7-part series to talk about what it takes to make the “The Big Leap" in your life, relationships, and career.

    Kent started The Big Leap series in Episode 096 and 097 by defining the Upper Limit Problem and examining flawed foundation upon which it is built. Episode 098 was dedicated to discovering how to spot Upper Limit Behaviors in our lives and what steps to take to dissolve them.

    In this final episode of The Big Leap series, you will learn how to solve what Gay Hendricks describes as “the relationship problem.”

     

    Purpose of this Episode

    6 suggestions for solving THE relationship problem most successful people face.

     

    Review of previous Big Leap episodes:

    - Episode 096 — Defining the Upper Limit Problem and how it works

    - Episode 097 — Hidden barriers that hold you back and how to dissolve them

    - Episode 098 — How to spot Upper Limit Behavior in your daily life

    - Episode 099 — Confronting your fear with your Zone of Genius

    - Episode 101 — Living in your Zone of Genius

     

    Tips Shared in this Episode

    1) According to a study by John Cuber and Peggy Harroff, 80 percent of successful people have unsatisfying marriages and long-term relationships.

    • Devitalized Relationships — partners stay together despite having fallen out of love years ago.
    • Passive-Congenial Relationships — partners were never passionate about each other in the first place.
    • Conflict-Habituated Relationships — partners create a lifestyle based around constant conflict or bickering.

     

    2) Two main reasons successful people have dismal relationships:

    • They have to deal with the Upper Limit Problem to a more intense degree.  
    • They don’t know how the Upper Limit Problem works.

     

    3) Healthy relationships exists between two equals.

     

    4) To be successful in life, work, AND LOVE, follow these six suggestions: 

    • Take plenty of time for yourself in a space apart from your partner.
    • Put a priority on speaking the truth, especially about what is going on with your emotions.
    • When emotions are in the air, don’t try to talk yourself or your partner out of them.
    • Give your partner plenty of non-sexual touch.
    • After soaring to a new height of intimacy, bring yourself back to the ground in a positive way.
    • Cultivate at least 3 friends with whom you can form a “No Upper Limit" conspiracy.

     

    5) Final thought: “You can tell more about a person’s true spirituality from the way he or she treats his or her partners than you ever could from tallying that person’s church attendance.” — Gay Henricks (The Big Leap, http://amzn.to/2jO1v7W page 196)
