10 Rules for Achieving Success

Change Is Inevitable – Growth Is Optional

Why Inspection Leads to Growth

"We get what we inspect, not just what we expect." Setting goals isn’t enough—you must track and evaluate progress. Without assessment, time is wasted on ineffective actions.

Key Takeaway: Be disciplined in evaluating goals and progress. True success requires continuous reflection and improvement.

The Power of Evaluating Your Actions

  • Are my actions aligned with my desired results?
  • What should I improve to achieve better outcomes?
  • Should I adjust my strategy or pursue a different goal?
You are both the architect and the auditor of your success. Decisions on whether to persist, pivot, or abandon a goal define your ultimate achievement.

Course Correction: The Key to Progress

Without checking your "road signs," you may be heading in the wrong direction. Regular self-assessments help ensure that you are moving towards success, not just moving forward.

Lesson: Learning from past experiences prevents wasted effort and maximizes efficiency.

Why Measuring Performance Matters

The purpose of tracking performance is to improve results. To succeed, you must:
  • Define key success factors.
  • Identify performance benchmarks.
  • Regularly compare results to expectations.

How to Establish Expectations for Success

Before taking action, set clear expectations. This helps you:
  • Mentally prepare for challenges.
  • Pace yourself for sustainable growth.
  • Structure your approach to achieving goals.

Inspections Reinforce Success Principles

Think of self-inspection as a personal audit of your progress. Revisiting, revising, and reinforcing performance standards keep you aligned with your goals.

Final Thought: Success is not a one-time event but a continuous process of evaluation and improvement. The better you inspect expectations, the faster you reach your goals.
