Methods of success
Best practices are not witchcraft. Success is when a goal is achieved through
thought and action. Anyone can learn how to do this.
„Methods of Success“ –
What are they good
for?
It is always about achieving more with less effort:
Rhetorical
skills, efficient organization, mental fitness,
stronger motivation and – most of all – to know exactly what needs to be done:
Many
successful people don’t owe their success to superior
intelligence or superhuman effort. The roots
of their success are their superior methods. Today,
despite the great diversity of such methods, many
of them are summarized in the term “Methods of Success”.
Simple example:
There is no witchcraft. Take a big, confusiong goal as an example: We tackle more
and achieve more just by outlining big, confusing goals into small and easy
steps:
That is simple and easy and it works. And there are many more easy improvements
like this in our daily work. Look at other easy and popular examples:
Methods of Thinking
These methods help us to make better use of some
features of our brain. Examples are memory tricks,
learning methods or methods for the use of the right
brain hemisphere. Frequently minor things make the
difference, properly illustrating a chain of
thoughts for example, never being dehydrated during work
or just always being mentally fit. Quite often the achievable
improvements in performance are downright
spectacular. The phenomenon Superprogramming for
example can lead to a tenfold increase in efficiency.
Strategy
Strategy
could also be regarded as a Method of Success. It
is amazing how easy it is sometimes to implement
new strategies in the fields of concentration or
positioning in business which both possess a nearly inexhaustible
potential.
A well-known, as well as spectacular, example
is the steep rise of Würth in Germany to a 10 billion
Euro company based on the common EKS-strategy. Another
prime example is the huge success of Southwest Airlines
which can be explained by a single strategic decision.
But also individual persons can benefit from leverage
of strategic decisions and their enormous
potential for success. "Blue ocean strategy" as an example has
become a popular idea all over the world.
Methods of Work
Fast reading techniques, time management, systematic
reduction of disorganization, but also organizational
methods like “1-click-filing” can all be seen as
Methods of Work which are considered the core of
Methods of Success. These methods have very different
backgrounds: Stronger motivation, clarity, smart
tricks and of course the interplay of several of
these factors.
The potential gains for the user are considerable: Fast reading skills as an
example can triple your performance.
Better time-management can lead to an increase of
efficiency from 10 up to more than 100 percent, depending
on the initial situation. In exceptional cases even
a multiple of these values is possible. It is therefore
highly profible to take a closer look to these different
methods. (For more information about Methods of Success,
