100 Ways to Succeed #69:

Do Unto Others ...

The goal of every action, every meeting, every project:

MAKE OTHERS SUCCESSFUL!

Can you honestly say that the questions you asked at the very last meeting you attended were ... directly & unequivocally ... about making others successful? (As opposed, say, to protecting your department's turf ... or your own turf.) Considering your next meeting, work assiduously on others' successes. Evaluate each comment-suggestion you make in that direct light.

Consider this advice in the exact terms it is stated (and see above, Never Eat Alone): I EXIST TO MAKE OTHERS SUCCESSFUL ... AND THIS IDEA ANIMATES MY EVERY WEE & GRAND ACTIVITY.

Reminds me of a quote from Mark Twain

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great"

It's the key to sales success too. Stay focused on the success of your customer and you're sure to benefit many times over.

And it reminds me of a quote I try to keep in the front of my mind:

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."

Yes, it's St. Paul. Philippians 2:3-4. And people say that the Bible is obsolete and Christians are out of touch . . . or is that just old media who assumes that?
