CYBLN 006: Why It’s Important To Position Yourself For Success

Summary:

Being in the right position at the right time is something that most people agree is helpful for success or progress. You can miss out on something very important to you by being in the wrong position.

Position plays a key role in aligning yourself for what’s ahead.

In this show-notes, you will find the three reasons given as to why you need to pursue success and to do so by being in position for it to happen. So many people are trying to make this happen rather than make it happen to them by being in position. Athletes who play some form of team sports understand this fully well. Being out of position can cost them the game.

Here are the three reasons why you need to be positioned for success:

1. Your future depends on it
   1. Reducing or eliminating the regret component
   2. Keep on doing the same thing you will get the same result
2. Others will benefit from it
   1. You will show that it is possible; be that model; become that reference point
   2. You will be able to help others; mentor them; 
3. Satisfaction is derived from it
   1. You are making a difference
   2. sense of accomplishment
   3. you are in your sweet spot
