12 Protean Success Principles For Unlimited Achievement

  1. Establish high standards of personal responsibility
  • Recognize the significant role of your own personal ambition
  • Remember: “If it’s going to be… it’s entirely up to me”
  • Increase your awareness on a continual basis; awareness is power
  • Make good decisions based on an ever-evolving level of awareness
  • Eliminate excuses and blame; focus on what you can control
  • Identify, clarify and adhere to your core values; pursue your passions (self actualization)
  • Accept defeat and failure with the same dignity you accept victory and success
  1. Anticipate change and consistently look for opportunities
  • Pay attention; remain observant and alert at all times; “what you don’t see won’t help”
  • Ask high quality questions as they will lead to high quality answers/breakthroughs
  • Be a life-long learner; think, assess, research, and analyze on a regular basis
  • Create a long-term vision to guide your short-term decision-making
  • Anticipate and prepare for unexpected change that will constantly take place
  • Respect and “learn from the past” in preparing for the future; don’t judge the past
  • Ask yourself if you could see the future, what would it look like, and what would you do differently today?
