What Leads to Success?

I had the joy of attending a fantastic Elton John concert recently and Sir Elton's energy & stamina (delivering two hours virtually non-stop while his band took two breaks!!) reminded me of the great new word - workafrolic! - coined by Richard St John. 

Here's Richard sharing his insights on what it takes to become successful.

In summary, if you want to succeed:

1. Be Passionate
   
2. Work
   
3. Focus 
   
4. Push yourself through (or get a mum! that)
   
5. Serve others something of value
   
6. Ideas – cultivate them! 
7. Persist through failure and despite

• Criticism
  
• Rejection
  
• A**holes
  
• Pressure
