Three Momentum Drivers For Success

By Will Turner

Do you want to achieve more? Do you want to crank it up a notch? There are three easy steps to do just that.

1. Know More
2. Do More
3. Become More

Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it. While it may not be as simple as it sounds, there are some easy steps you can implement immediately by focusing on the right things. Let’s look at the three items more closely.

Know More - If you want to be more successful, you have to learn and grow. Things change so rapidly that you can’t stay still for long without being left behind or run over. So ask yourself, what do I need to learn to become an expert in my field? Then, do what you have to do to acquire the knowledge. Read, listen to tapes, go to seminars, attend classes, interview the experts; do whatever it takes to learn more.

Do More - Knowledge alone is not enough. You have to actually do something with the knowledge. You have to “do more.” How are you going to apply the knowledge and skills that you already have? What actions are you going to take? What goals are you going to achieve. You have to become the valuable resource that you are capable of becoming. Remember knowledge is not power; APPLIED knowledge is power.

Become More - To become more, you have to be more. You may have heard that people are paid what they are worth. If you want to be paid more, you have to be worth more. You have to bring more value to the table. What are you doing to bring more value? How do you bring more value to your employer? How do you bring more value to your clients? How do you bring more value to your suppliers?

To get on the right path, ask yourself each day, “What am I going to do today to know more, do more and become more?” Then, work on your goals to make it a reality. Incremental steps every day will yield big results. If you’re like most people, you will read this and say, “Yeah, I should do that.” But the reality is not many of us actually will.

So, here’s a simple plan to start small. Go to the library, bookstore or internet today and get a book that will be helpful to you in your business or professional growth. You may even have one on your bookshelf now that you just haven’t gotten around to reading. If you spend a lot of time in your car, you may want to get an audiocassette or CD instead. Then set a goal to read at least 10 pages a day or listen for 20 minutes. Sounds easy, right? After you have completed each reading or listening session, write out a goal that you would like to implement based on ideas generated from the information. Be consistent, and do this every day. Before long, you will start to see real progress and growth.
