Defining Success through Positive Attitude

Home / attitude / business / planning / ya-ttitude / Ya-ttitude: Battle Lines are Drawn

Procrasti-NATION has held a stronghold over the United Attributes of Initiative for quite a long time; millennia perhaps.  But with success on the line; your very future at risk, and the dreams and desires we all hold close to our heart being threatened, those Attributes have taken hold and are making a major push to the enemy line.

Procrasti-NATION, a much larger land mass than any of those areas of individual enterprise is a scary foe; except when each of the 25 separate Attributes come together and form a more perfect union.

The United Attributes of Initiative; A collective of the greatest personality traits and skills joining forces for the common good.  A skill-set that has no match except the Omni-present - Procrasti-NATION.

Ladies and gentleman in this corner weighing in at just over two percent of the current population: Personal Initiative!

And in this corner - where 98 percent of the population is affected, where the wheels of business come to a grinding halt, an area of blank stares and nothingness, the place where dreams go to die and plans never happen and where the woes of the world are over looked for the joys of, of, nothing… Procrasti-NATION!

Before the details of the invasion are brought forth in the entire magnificent splendor that only Walt Disney could have dreamed, let me detail for you the members of the United Attributes of Initiative:

  1. Definite Aims and Goals
  2. Motivation and emotional Desire to achieving the goal
  3. A Master Mind/Think Tank of like and  complimentary minds
  4. Self Reliance
  5. Dependability
  6. Thoroughness over Speed
  7. Discipline
  8. Persistence
  9. Follow Through
  10. Applied Faith
  11. Positive Mental Attitude
  12. Compassion
  13. Patience
  14. The Will to Win
  15. Imagination/Creativity
  16. Quick and Definite Decision Making
  17. Willingness to go Extra Mile and then some
  18. Enthusiastic Persona/Aura
  19. Detail Orient
  20. Equal abilities to dish out as well as take
  21. Familiarity with Motivation techniques
  22. Ability to Focus
  23. Responsibility
  24. Accountability
  25. Willingness to share blame and glory

There is no doubt in my mind that all of you are familiar with a great deal of these attributes.  I am sure that all of you have some, a few, or most of these attributes.  Hey - it may even be one of those “Hmmm” moments where you sit back and say - “Damn - I have that skill!”  But having only one or some of these attributes will only serve you as a foundation to the creation of your most powerful ally and army - the one that takes down Procrasti-Nation!

The key to winning this war, this take over, this “future is so bright, I have to wear shades“, outlook is creating that plan that will carry through to working your definite aims and goals to your success (yes - this is where it all began a few posts ago when we discussed 4-Step Plan to Success). The purpose of the way this is written is to show you that you cannot achieve it all over night.

You need the early writings to develop a set of skills and goals to take you through each of the next steps.  So in my opinion it is a good time to go over the initial posts from the first to this current;  Jot down some of the Hmmm’s and Aha’s and email me with questions, comments, or as always feel free to post below.

    Hi Benny,
    I like the list of the attributes you listed. Anyone who follows through on atleast 10 of those would have success that would make friends and foes alike to spin their heads in wonder.

    Most importantly, of all the above qualities must be followed with consistent action to produce tangible results. Like you rightly said, run away from procrastination to achieve that dream. Embrace action.
