SuccessPreneur’s Handbook
Where the Entrepreneur and Success Collide

I know exactly where you are right now.

I’ve been there.

The first reason I had trouble growing my business was I was not ready to learn this material - to understand how to build a success roadmap. When I was younger I purchased a number of course that “guaranteed” to work and make me money. I purchased and studied several of these programs and had little to no success. It was not until I encountered my defining moment that I realized the problem was mine. I was not ready to learn the material. I did not know how to make it mine. And the problem was their's as well. They did not position it in context of creating a my ideal life so I had an emotional connection with it. I had bellief systems about what I "Should" do and not what I wanted to do. That program is about creatiing a roadmap to success. 

What you’re about to read in the next few minutes can shave 10 years off your learning curve and quickly get you on the road to financially freedom and personal happiness while discovering the joys of business ownership.

The Fast Track To Success

I have interview hundreds of small business owners and written two books on what they are doing right. The first is called Celebrating Success! Fourteen Ways to Create a Successful Company and the other The Platinum Rule for Small Business Mastery and my definition of success is a little different than that of most people. In my definition, success is not about how much money you have, (though I want you to experience all the money you want) it’s about creating a satisfying and rewarding life in what ever way you choose to define it, including being with the people you love and the people that love you. Success simply means to follow through! Let me repeat that: Success simply means to follow through. You read the material but you don’t follow through. It is hard to follow through if you are not passionate about the subject or topic. You move from one trap to another.

Celebrating Success! Fourteen Ways to Create a Successful Company talks about what businesses do to be successful but not about how. It is filled with short and interesting case studies. The Platinum Rule for Small Business Mastery deals with people and the important roles they play in our businesses. No matter how you slice it and dice it, our success is directly related to how effective we are in dealing with people (suppliers, customers, employees, clients, etc) but neither book addresses the steps you take to go from an idea to a business or, if you have a small business, how you take your business to a new level. That is what this system is all about – taking your business to a whole new level.

I took the same programs that I put my clients through and I created this system for allowing you to understand what success means. You can do this at your own pace, in the privacy of your own home.

Everything Changes When You Say “Yes.”

It didn’t happen at first, but before I knew it was happening, I started to ‘get it’…

It all starts with attitude….

I had discovered that truly successful people do these seven things--and so can you…

•  Successful people are focused
•  Successful people are disciplined
•  Successful people are selfish
•  Successful people are persistent
•  Successful people take ownership
•  Successful people know other people are necessary for their success
•  Successful people focus on results

Let us talk about each of these key attitudes for becoming successful. When you implement these behaviors your will develop passion for your business and create some fun at the same time.

The key to taking control of your life lies in how well you create an “attitude of success” and link it to certain behavioral adjustments. My studies have shown that, combined with the correct attitude, there are seven behaviors that all successful people exhibit.

Selfishness

I define selfishness and intelligent self interest. Being selfish asks, “how do I protect my time, energy, and money so I am only spending them on those things that will take me closer to my goals?” Until you can define the type of life you want to create, it is very hard to be selfish. You can define this life you want through the creation of a personal vision and mission statements. After these--your guiding foundations--are complete, you can create well-defined goals. After you define your goals, you can go through a “barrier-busting” process that helps you understand how to achieve those goals. When you complete this step, you can start being selfish—in the positive form or the word. You have your personal goals defined, you know the kind of life you want, and you are ready to seek out and meet the people who can take you there. This system will show you how to do that provided you do the work.

Focus

It is very hard to be focused if you don’t know where you are going. Without a clear perspective, you cannot focus on the desired outcome. It is too easy to become distracted, unorganized, and inconsistent. When you understand what it is you need to be selfish about, you generate a clear focus—a sense of purpose: A clear path to success.

Discipline

Discipline is controlled behavior resulting from training and self-control. When you are effectively selfish and focused, you have a new weapon in your success arsenal. The powerful weapon of discipline. Your mind is made up. You have decided to achieve your goals.

Being disciplined means you will not abandon your goals. Since you are creating the life you want, discipline becomes another tool of your success. Discipline teaches you that life is not smooth and that there are rough spots. Experience teaches you that, by being disciplined, you can get through the tough spots. Your eye is on the target—your goal—your mission--and you have the discipline of a laser-guided missile; you seek out your objectives, and your focus never falters.

Persistence

Persistence can be defined as the continuance of an effect after the cause is removed. The defining moment that caused you to create your ideal life is behind you. Your goals are clear; you are focused, disciplined, and selfish. You encounter unplanned obstacles. Your persistence allows you to see these obstacles--not as problems--but as opportunities. After all, if it was easy, anyone could accomplish what you are accomplishing. But not everyone is on the field of battle with you. They see obstacles and stop. You see obstacles and those obstacles magically become opportunities to succeed.

You keep your eyes clearly fixed on your objectives; you try different things to overcome these obstacles. You know where you are going. You know you can’t be stopped. You know that your persistence is what drives you forward toward your own goals. You will find a way through, or around, any obstacle in your path.

Ownership

Ownership is the state of being an owner. It is taking the legal right to the possession of a thing. These are your dreams, your goals, and your life. If you do not take ownership for achieving your dreams, who will? You are ready for what life throws at you. You have to be, because you have consciously chosen to become successful. Taking ownership is about change—enabling change so you can move forward, changing behaviors that are not working.

With ownership you know that, should you not get your desired results, you can take action and change the outcome. Ownership is so very empowering. You know that if you do not have the skills, you can learn or hire someone to teach you or guide you to your own success.

Orientation toward Results

Results are achieved by guiding your path to end in a particular way. You defined your goals—the specific outcomes that you want to achieve. You defined how you want things to end, and because you took ownership, you established the power to create your desired outcomes. You have a clear path to creating your results.

You either get the job done, or you don’t. If you don’t, because of your ownership, you know that you can go back and try something different. For you, there are no excuses. No remorse. Only results. You understand, as Yoda once said, that “there is no trying, only doing.”

Focus on People

Every successful person understands that their success comes with and through other people. A successful person will recognize the “right” individuals and appreciate them for their contribution to the desired results. The successful person will also assume complete responsibility for things that may not be working. This is an absolute must—there is no other course of action when you are the owner and have taken serious ownership.

The system that I am providing you will teach you how to implement these behaviors in your business as well as in your life.

I’m not saying it’s a ‘walk in the park’ or that you’ll make a million dollars tomorrow, but once you start using this system, things will happen fast.

Here’s How You Can Create The Life You Really Want

Listen closely here.

Last year, after using this system in my individual and professional coaching programs, my clients achieved unprecedented results.

Here was some of their feedback:

“For starters, I so appreciated your comments about “Don’t move away from what I don’t want” but Move “Forward” to what I do want”. Putting the mind in the positive mindset is the right thing to do – always . As an accountant, we are trained to find the problem and fix it. The result is often a negative feedback. I have heard it said, “CPAs cause trouble because you guys always find the negative.” “CPA stands for Certified Pain the in Ass”. – That was a quote given in humor this week. But this has me thinking not only about me moving forward to what I want - but to focus more on the forward move of my client and the solution .”

“Our company recently went through a rather substantial reorganization following the resignation of some key resources. As part of this reorganization, I was given a much larger role in the company. It would have taken 6 to 12 months to become effective but by having Ron Finklestein here for coaching sessions and best practices advice, I’ve collapsed that learning curve to just a few months. He has been a great resource for bouncing ideas off of and getting objective feedback on the progress of my department.”

"If I had built a professional relationship with Ron Finklestein in 2002 - when he and I first encountered one another - I would not have lost my company in 2004. In March, 2005, I came on board with AKRIS and Ron has been indispensable in helping me develop and grow my latest venture. Lesson learned."

“Among all the consultants my firms has employed in the past, AKRIS has provided my firm the best value, the best return on investment, the best attention we have experienced!. He saved my company $100K.”

In the chart below, the question arises:

“Ron served as a personal coach and mentor for nearly a year where our focus was on Strategic Plan implementation, process improvement, public relations, personnel and communications for Chapel Hill Christian Schools.

I feel the Ron's objectivity and frank honesty provided a much needed "outside" voice for my personal and professional development. I always found Ron to be well prepared and actively engaged in my personal success and that of our school.”
