Successful
entrepreneurs develop Self-Mastery. Self-Mastery is the first and deepest
laid foundational building block for your business success. It is taking
complete responsibility for your own behavior and deciding to control your own
reactions to outside pressures. This means that you will not blame others for your
past mistakes and your present circumstances. You will use your own self-awareness,
self-knowledge, imagination, conscience and will-power to be self-determining
and proactive. Self-Mastery says, “My
success depends on me.”
Successful
entrepreneurs seek Interdependence. Interdependence
is the second layer of foundational building block after obtaining Self-Mastery. Interdependence teaches you to develop strategic relationships with
key people and to understand that you need them to help you create successful
business outcomes. Once you have achieved Self-Mastery,
you will realize that you cannot attain maximum effectiveness by your own thinking
and behaving alone. You learn that by working in concert with others while being
personally responsible for your own actions, a team mentality develops. The
team mentality allows you and every member of the team to contribute to the
effort at maximum levels and to experience maximum satisfaction from the
process of working together.
Successful
entrepreneurs use Reflection to
improve business outcomes. Reflection
is the “beyond myself, my family, my community and my organization” third
course of foundational building block that requires interdependent
organizational strategic partners to function as a “think-tank.” The goal of
this Reflection is to think and plan
together in new ways, using new approaches to create new products, services and
solutions that meet needs and effectively address common problems. At this
foundational level, there is a collective focus on working together to leverage
the strengths of each group involved to maximize their collective profitability
in their particular sphere of influence.
