Growing up many friends, family and children played a gamed
called chutes and ladders. You may be familiar with it if not let me surmise
the goal: The one to reach the top of the ladder first wins. In other words,
the object of the game is to win.
As with most games reliant upon dice, this game of chance
depends upon which number you roll. If your pawn lands on a square with a
ladder – up you go with a higher success rate of winning. Land on a square with
a chute? It is bye-bye baby.
As an entrepreneur, we battle daily trying to decipher the
difference between it is all in the wrist (a roll of the dice) and balance that
with one of our favored words – it is all in the risk. (Another game – another
time.)
However, more importantly, we have to align our priorities
and follow the procedure to climb that ladder. We are not talking about the
corporate ladder; we are talking about the ladder of success. The way you spell success we leave to you,
however while success is subjective it is always an elevation of where we are,
to where we are going.
So here’s the steps we need to follow to free ourselves from
the chute and follow the ladder.
Who cares the number you roll. Shoot for the innumerable
stars – that is a risk we like talking about:
-Believe in Your Idea
-Dream About It
-Set a Goal:
A goal is a dream with a deadline. – Napolean Hill
-Be Disciplined:
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. – Jim Rohn
-Track Your Achievements & Take Time to Celebrate
As always believe in your dream, believe in it and always
have a goal in mind. Because if you are reaching for the stars, there are many
rings to your ladders and equal many amounts of chutes. Are you up to playing
the game?
It is your turn! Ready, set, roll.
