10 + 1 Core Success Principles

The other day I decided to sit down and reflect on all of the knowledge I’ve gained through reading, personal mentors, seminars, and inner wisdom.  There are 10 Core Principles for Success that I’ve come up with for myself and I thought I’d share them because maybe it will resonate with you and inspire you to come up with your own principles for personal success.  These principles apply to every aspect of my life whether it’s relationships or business.  So here they are!

1)  Money is an idea and its creation is based on value added to others.

I recently learned this from Greg Habstritt’s “Engaged Entrepreneur” training and it’s added a completely different perspective on how money ACTUALLY works.  It’s essentially a flow of energy; something that is not tangible.  Currency is what you see and feel in your pocket as a form of exchange with value backing that currency but money itself takes on a whole different meaning.

2)  Passive income is not a reality, what wealthy people strive for is “Leveraged Income” and so will I.

Like it or not, there is some degree of management that needs to take place in order for money to keep rolling in.  Even if you are an investor like Robert Kiyosaki or Warren Buffett they still work at managing the funds they have and re-investing for more profit.  These mega wealthy guys aren’t just sitting on a beach drinking pina coladas for the rest of their days (not to mention that would be boring).  What they ARE doing though is leveraging their investments and cash flow with scalable systems to free up more time.

3)  Be real, be yourself, and don’t try to please everyone.

Not everyone will like me; not everyone will like what I have to say either but I’m not out there trying to please everyone because in the process I would lose myself and that’s a scary place to be.  Have an identity and don’t be afraid to be “different” because that’s what makes you shine!  If your 40 years old and you want to try snowboarding then go!  My point is, do what you love and enjoy who you are (your uniqueness) because no one else can do you better than you.

4)  Transparency is key. People trust others who can be vulnerable and open.

It amazes me when people can really open up about themselves and what makes their lives imperfect.  Sometimes not everything is as it seems; appearances are different than reality and people connect with reality.  The more you open up with people, the deeper of a connection that can be formed, and the more trust you create.

5)  Money creation is easy when you change your perception from struggling/ scarcity to abundance & acceptance.

Your relationship with money (and everything else) is a direct reflection of your inner beliefs and thoughts.  So, if you think that money is hard to come by or that you must struggle to make a lot of it, then that’s how money creation will play out for you.  Remember, money is an idea.  Do you truly believe that you can accept the lifestyle you dream of?  If not then it won’t come your way.

6)  If you’re not having fun and it doesn’t make you happy, don’t do it!

Because seriously, you CAN be happy and have fun if your doing what you love.  If you don’t know what you would love to do it’s time to have a candid reflection on who you are and what you really enjoy.  Money and real estate don’t make me happy, it’s the interaction with people, exchange of knowledge and ideas, building relationships, laughing, inspiring, and educating that really give me kicks.

7)  Know your passion because once you have more time on your hands you can either fill it with what you love or pile on more of what you don’t.

What are you on this Earth do do?  How can you make your life, your families life, and the community around you a better place?  How can your presence improve and construct a more harmonious society?

8)  Don’t listen to media and hype.  Do your diligence, get down to the facts, and educate yourself.

There is always a lot of speculation and persuasion in the media that can pollute your mind with mis-information.  Make sure that you have all sides of the story and accept alternative points of view without judgment before coming to a conclusion.  Basically, figure out what the facts are and then arrive at a conclusion rather than approaching a topic or situation with bias and pre-judgment.  That only creates separation between you and the best solution.

9)  Happiness comes from  the love and value you give to yourself and relationships.

For example, if you decide you want to buy a new truck or a new handbag but you’ll have to put it on your credit card therefore working longer hours just to pay for a “thing” then you miss out on the precious moments that could be shared with other people or with yourself.  If you spend all night watching TV or playing video games then ask yourself, “What am I avoiding by distracting myself with media?”

Simplicity is beautiful and the more enjoyment you get out of simple moments, the more happiness there is inside radiating out from a deep place of comfort.  Material things will NEVER fill that hole of emptiness inside, only love and respect for yourself and others will create inner peace and happiness.

10)  Know Thyself.

Know who you are, know where you come from, and know how powerful you are.  You are the captain of your life and everything in it is a direct reflection of your true thoughts and beliefs.  The way you treat yourself is how the world will treat you.  The more love, gratitude, and respect that you show yourself the more confident and radiant you will be.  Confidence is a magnet and will attract a lot of opportunities and people into your life to the degree you are confident.  Confidence will be your best asset.

BONUS:  Value yourself and your time. 

Know deep down that you are valuable; you don’t need to prove value to yourself.  It’s just there.
