The formula for success and happiness

This has been a week of continues learning, and I want to share the most valuables learnings of this week.

I learned a formula for success and happiness proposed by Jim Ritchie, and this formula he learned from his mission president.

I want to share with you every point of his formula, and add my commentaries.

1. Get up early

It is funny that he mentioned this as the first point of the formula, but I had noted the difference between a day when I get earlier or not, and when I get early is because I have a propose for the day, and a plan to learn and success.

2. Work hard

Ezra Taft Benson said: “Work, work, work, there is no satisfactory substitute”. We cannot sit down and wait until success come to us. Work in a fundamental factor in the achievement of our goals.

3. Get your education

This is an elemental step to success. Sometimes argue that there are some examples of successful guys who never got his Bachelor Degree, but education is more than a Degree, education is a conscious analysis of the environment, and use this information count.

4. Find oil

5. Make your mark

I want to add in this point that the best way to make our own mark is through integrity. Everybody trust in an integrity business man, and this a reason because for them is easier to success.

6. Prepare to serve

The pathway to happiness is service. As Mother Teresa said: “Whoever does not live to serve, does not ‘serve’ to live”.

Continue your Journey

In the entrepreneurship journey, the most important to reach the goal is staying in the way. Most of entrepreneur don`t reach their goals because they abandon their purpose, or they don’t see a soon happy ending. Elder Holland teach us about blessings, and how sometimes blessings could delay, but for all whom are faithful, blessings will come. Sometimes projects are not following a good way because we are making any mistake. So, it is important during our journey make a step back, visualize the way, make pertinent adjustments, and start to walk to the main objective. Taylor Richards in a video that I was watching this week say that we are able of reach anything, we just need to start, and then during the work new ideas and solutions will come to our mind.

Become

This week, I had the opportunity to interview an entrepreneur who works in the tourism industry with a travel agency. This experience helped me to learn some basic and universal principles about what define an entrepreneur as successful. During the interview, I learned that he never focused in money or income as a goal, but he focused so much in the following aspects: 1. A happy family is the main goal of any project. 2. An important asset of an entrepreneur is his network. 3. You can measure how good are you manage your business when you are able to leave your business because you are sick or another event, and the business is still running. I learned about the behavior a good entrepreneur that an entrepreneur is always looking for new opportunities of business. A good entrepreneur is not just a people who know how manage effectively his resources, but he knows how raise resources when it is necessary. An entrepreneur is a creative person, a person who don’t fear to mak...

Happiness

Fulfilment, satisfaction, and happiness are reasons because we want to become entrepreneurs, spouses, parents, recognized, or whatever. President Thomas S. Monson shared a formula to success in our live. The 3 steps that he shares are: Fill our mind with truth Fill our live with service And, fill our heart with love I have proved that 3 steps work to have a happy life. Sometimes, entrepreneurs and people in general search for happiness in sensual pleasures (good food, drink, and sex), but at the end, they discover that these pleasures don’t fulfill them enough, and don’t give them the happiness than they are looking for. President Monson suggest “that when we search for truth, we search among those books and in those places where truth is most likely to be found.” The knowledge from good books help us to avoid bias in our path to the happiness. Service, it is one of the best ways to enrich our life of happiness. Implicit factors in service are to be grateful wi...
