(Personal Performance Success Patterns)
Why Use It
Every person has their own unique high
performance drivers and patterns of success. An effective way of maximizing
your future success is to employ the patterns of successful thinking and
behavior that you already have … and works for you.
How to Use It
To build future successes begin by
identifying your current personal pattern of success.
Step
|
Description |
|
1 |
Recall and list times when
something worked better than you expected.
Those ‘high performance’ experiences can be for anything: work,
family, relationships, social, sports, religious. |
|
2 |
Review the list and choose
the top 3-4 high performance experiences with each one from a different area
in your life, e.g. maybe one business, one sports, one family, one volunteer
work, etc. |
|
3 |
For each activity identify
those ‘actions’ you did to be successful. Don’t just look at the routine
obvious things but also the subtle things that you did differently. |
|
4 |
Find the common ‘actions’
for these experiences. Analyze them and determine your personal success
pattern. |
|
5 |
Always be aware: If you
are forced to use someone else’s’ success pattern or required to use a
standard pattern you might not be as successful. |
