What is success? It is where you have achieved your goals. Hence a success formula will embrace the principles that will get you to where you endeavor to be.

In my earlier bloc "Interpreting the Facts: Critical to Financial Management", I said that "Financial management objectives are achieved when a businessman applies the relevant facts to his situations... Facts, however, may not be the truth." If we are not able to get the facts right, we are doom to fail, 

In our exploration of the truth, we will encounter many issues and many of them will occur over and over again in our lives if we are yet to resolve them. Some issues may be quick to be resolved, some are resolvable but have to take some time and much effort on our part, and a significant portion of them appear insurmountable at first sight.

By ourselves we will not be able to resolve all the problems. The pain of disappointments and the shame of being disapproved and rejected would have saved us from failure if we take the opportunities to reflect on them and persevere.

In my other bloc "Losing is to succeed, I said, "Trying is better than succumbing to fate... Absence of humbling experiences in our lives will make us more vulnerable in the long run!" To get around our weaknesses, it is therefore good to work with people who are strong where you are weak and choose the right people who love you and want you to be successful in life.

To succeed, we should be open-minded and be assertive at the same time. We shall work out our relationship especially with trustworthy people who disagree with you. Yet we own the outcomes.

Similarly, if we want success in business, it is important to collaborate with people who are sincere and dare to confront you to your face. Just have the wisdom to avoid those who pretend to operate in your interest while seeking their own.

Form your goal, work on it and be successful!
