How To Be A Successful Person

Book Cover & Preview Text
What is your attitude about work?
How do you view your family? What do you think of yourself? The above example
about poor service through a restaurant’s drive-thru falls into this category
of attitude. Some of the employees working inside have a, I don’t care
attitude. They are completely content doing the bare minimum to get by.
They don’t see a problem with a customer driving ten miles back to the
restaurant to get his order corrected. In their way of thinking, correcting the
order a second time is acceptable because the customer eventually got what he
wanted.
What the employees don’t realize
is that in reality they didn’t do their job correctly the first time, their
attitude about it speaks of their character, and they will carry this attitude
into other parts of their lives. Is this you?
As a manager, I have heard many
employees say, “This job is just a stepping stone. I plan on doing something
else.” Or “This isn’t my permanent job.” I didn’t realize there were so many
people who could read into the future; that know ahead of time which job will
be their final job as they ride off into the retirement sunset.
I also never realized that if you
did know that a particular job was not your final job, somehow that gave
you permission to work less then a pace of one hundred percent. How great it
must be for the employers at the end of the line, knowing that they will
be getting your all. That they gained something that all of your previous
employers never had, you working at a one hundred percent level.
To make this whole process easier
for you and employers, I think employers should run classified ads asking only
for those employees who have chosen their company as a final job before
retirement. That way, everyone is working where they want to be and working at a
level of one hundred percent.
Are you starting to see the
problem with this way of thinking? It is impossible for you to know which job
will be your final career. Even if you are a relative working in a family
business, will it still be there when you are ready to retire? Probably not if you are not giving one hundred percent. Here
is a revelation. Do you like your company? Want to retire from that job? Give
one hundred percent to ensure their success.
Do you see the correlation to marriage? People enter marriage thinking that if it doesn’t work out, they can always divorce. Therefore, they may not work as hard at solving problems as they would if divorce didn’t exist. Think about it. If divorce weren’t an option, then they wouldn’t throw the switch to the “off” position. When someone says, “I fell out of love” all he did was switch to “off.” If divorce weren’t on the table, then he would be forced to switch to “on” and continue working within the relationship. Like success on the job, if he wants his marriage to succeed, he has to give one hundred percent ...as does his partner. Are you working as hard as you could be at your marriage?

About the Book
The S-factor is different from other self-help books. Although there are many good sources of information, too many of them speak generally and don’t offer specific help. The S-factor speaks to you personally, helping you build a list of traits that need changing. Like dredging a river, The S-factor will help you dig up and discard those character traits that are blocking your personal and professional success.
You will learn how your mind stores memories from your past in mental bags, how the mnemonic processor accesses those bags, and how your mental tape player is fed negative messages to play over and over. You will explore your self-fulfilling prophecies and learn how to change the negative, success-blocking traits into positive ones.
After going through the steps of The S-factor, you will feel a surge of positive energy, as you become a more successful person in your relationships at home and at work. For the first time, you will have a personal plan to implement and refer to for long-term success. You will be able to update your plan as you grow and change, making The S-factor the only self-help guide you’ll ever need.
