SuccessNet - Michael Angier

Developing good judgment is worthy of our best efforts. Being able to consistently make informed and considered decisions enables us to achieve the results we desire.

But being judgmental isn't the same thing. Being judgmental--at least based upon my definition--is not about discernment. It's about judging the beliefs, actions, inactions and opinions of others.

I'm often asked what SuccessNet is all about. I've probably come up with a hundred different answers and have never been totally satisfied with any one of them.

There are a lot of ways to describe what we do, but the one I use most often is similar to our mission statement. It goes like this: "SuccessNet is designed to help people achieve their full and unique potential, to be their best--both personally and professionally."

Too Much Information

By Michael Angier

"In a world where there is a wealth of information, there is often a poverty of attention."

It's true. We're drowning in information. We live in a time of unprecedented access to a vast and rapidly expanding universe of knowledge.

Success is simple. Just be clear about what you want and go after it. That and a few million details and you've got it made.

Let's assume that you already know what you want in your life and what it would take to make you feel successful.

But how do you make that happen?

It takes a clear and impassioned focus on your dreams and constant and diligent attention to what you do, how you do it and ways in which you can do it better. Sounds simple, doesn't it?

Something happened to me recently that stood out as an uncommon event. And it shouldn't have.

It happened when I was greeting a friend as he brought his boat into our marina. As I was standing on the dock, he introduced me to 'Karen' and her son 'Hunter'. This seven-year-old bounded out of the boat and walked the length of the dock toward me. He extended his hand, looked me in the eye and said "How do you do?"
