THE SEVEN C's OF SUCCESS by Brian Tracy
 
1. Clarity. Eighty percent of success comes from being clear on who
you are, what you believe in.
 
2. Competence. You can't climb to the next rung on the ladder until
you are excellent at what you do now.
 
3. Constraints. Eighty percent of all obstacles to success come from
within. Find out what is constraining in you or your company and deal
with it.
 
4. Concentration. The ability to focus on one thing single-mindedly
and see it through until it's done takes more character than anything
else.
 
5. Creativity. Flood your life with ideas from many sources.
Creativity needs to be exercised; like a muscle, if you don't use it
you'll lose it.

6. Courage. Most in demand and least in supply, courage is the
willingness to do the things you know are right
 
7. Continuous learning. Read at the very least one book a week on
business to keep you miles ahead of the competition. And just as you
eat and bathe, organize your time so you spend 30 minutes a day
exploring e-mail, sending messages, going through the Web sites,
because It's like exercise, it's the only way you can keep on top of
technology. If you get away from it, you'll lose your edge.
