The 5 A's to success

Every success story has a road map, which need to be followed to achieve the expected result.  Needless to say, the road travelled is a long one encompassing various stages of management, to achieve success and excellence. I would like to categorise the stages as “The 5 A’s to Success” viz. Analyze, Accept, Assist, Approach and Adopt.

I take this opportunity in explaining each stage to the best of my knowledge. It may help in creating some insight in the minds of aspiring individuals, who want to make a mark for themselves in today’s much competitive professional arena.

Analyze

Analyzing primarily is to specifically identify trends in the market place and deduce why one tend is workable and another failed.  Over a period of time, Analyzing will help us identify methods to measure our performance, where to scale up our resources, build a model prototype to utilize for the best quality end result at low cost. It also helps us define alternate methods to reach the same level of success. The more we Analyze, the more is the perfection of preparation to attain the desired result. Over time, it helps us look at situations from different perspectives and broadens our area of reasoning as to why the situation is dealt in various scenarios. 

Accept

The second aspect is to accept what we are and what our drawbacks are. Every person aspires to be the ruler of his domain. However, we need to always check for what difference we can bring to the world by being what we are because we tend to adopt few characteristics of successful people but cannot transform ourselves completely. Alternately we need to accept others as they are. It is always important to stop focusing on negatives, then alone can we start noticing anything and everything positive.

Assist

It is always nice being a boss of a firm with people always there to assist you. However to ensure that the firm grows, it is necessary for the boss to assist his employees from time to time. Being the boss, it is your duty to help your employees whenever and wherever they need it. This will help brush out all the impurities that might be there in your relationship with your employees.

Approach

Most of the times we come across situations where we do not achieve the goals as we expected. In such circumstances, we may need to revise our approach to ensure that we achieve the required goal. In the process of revising our approach, we may decide to sideline some preset goals for later and focus on the most important goal amongst the vast number of goals.

Adopt

The most important reason behind any successful person is their habits that they have created and maintained over a period of time. When we aspire to succeed, we need to inculcate some habits of successful people in our psyche.  Adoption of habits of successful people into our DNA is the first step in becoming one like the successful. These habits adopted and practiced over time helps us become better individuals both in professional and personal life.

For a aspiring individual wanting to carve a niche for himself or herself, these five "A's" may act as a booster for their dreams.
