The Formula for Success
The building blocks: Body, Mind and Soul
Hamilton: June 1, 2001: What is the formula for success? George Torok, keynote speaker for the Junior Achievement annual fund raiser, asked the governors of Junior Achievement about their formula for success and dissected those answers. He presented those answers and more importantly his analysis of what was in common.
Each was asked, “If success is a formula and that formula is A + B + C, what are the A, B and C?” Here are their answers.
“Innovation + Persistence + Execution”
Terry Cooke, Fluke Transportation
“Vision & Mission + Communication to engage people + Perseverance”
George Heisz, Bank of Montreal
“Vision & Planing + Fiscal Responsibility + Heart”
Craig Dowhaniuck, Morgan Firestone Foundation
“Thinking through to make good decisions + Working hard + An open mind”
Harold Embree, Embree Industries
“Have the best product + Execute with precision + Equip your people with the best communication skills”
Ron Foxcroft, Foxtron International
“Desire to succeed + Positive attitude + Respect for others”
Chester Waxman, I. Waxman & Sons
What is in common? The three building blocks that each formula demonstrated were, Body, Mind and Soul. Body is the physical – action. Mind is planning, thinking, creative thinking. And soul is about passion, feeling, emotion, belief and spirit.
