Integrity is a crucial principle to have
in all aspects of life. We must create ethical guardrails and clear goals and
plans in order to achieve success.
Integrity must be present at all times in order to reach these goals.
Lessons Learned:
The Ministry of Business has yet again
provided great insight into how to live a happy and successful life. Chapter four is titled The Formula and
Happiness. We learn that private
victories come before public victories.
And the formula for success both a basic approach and an expanded
approach. The” guaranteed six step
formula for happiness” is:
1. Get up early
Starting the
day off right is important to personal and business success.
2. Work hard
Every successful
person out there has worked extremely hard, you are no exception.
3. Get your education
We must be
properly trained and continue learning throughout our lives and career. Develop
a love for life-long learning.
4. Find your oil
Find out what
you are great at and pursue this.
Provide better service or better products.
5. Make your mark
Make a
difference in every community and every career opportunity we are given. Make a positive mark on this world.
6. Get prepared to be of service
This is what
sets this formula apart. The secret to
eternal success is service and giving back, giving us the truest possible happiness.
Chapter five is called the value of strong mentors. Having mentors in your life is important to
help you succeed. They will make you
stronger, build you up, push your limits and guide you the right way. They are truly invested in your success and
happiness. Chapter six is called
financial fitness. There are three
accounts that you should have for financial freedom: independent account,
budget account and savings account.
Financial freedom is having the means to survive plus a little bit more.
Lessons Not Yet Learned:
I have not yet learned what I am the best
at. I think I have the potential to be a
great leader as in a healthcare manager or administrator, however I still have
more to learn. I am currently applying
for a new health clinic supervisor position to prove my leading and training
skills. I want to continue to grow,
learn and improve myself.
A Reference and Categorization Method:
PRIVATE VS PUBLIC VICTORIES (The Ministry
of Business pages 90-91)
Private Victory:
1. Be proactive (granddaddy of all habits)
2. Begin with the end in mind (those who win
private victories see where they want to end up)
3. First things first (have a plan, then
execute the plan)
Public Victory
1. Think win/win (versus win/lose)
2. First seek to understand, then seek to be
understood (empathetic listening)
3. Create singer (1+1 = anything greater than
2)
