Brains
In order to succeed...whether in life or in business...some reasonable level of intelligence is required.This level of intelligence is not a specific IQ...nor is it specific score on a psychological assessment.

Motivation
Motivation is that internal force that drives or pushes us to achieve specific results and desirable outcomes.
Our desired results and outcomes are reflected in our goals, which in turn are shaped by our personal core values and our business core values.
In practice, the more closely our goals reflect our values, the more meaningful our goals will be.
We are more motivated to achieve goals that are meaningful to us...than we are to achieve less meaningful goals.
Setting smart goals is the key to setting meaningful goals...and highly motivational goals.
With smart goals, you will have the second of the two elements of this formula for success: Motivation.

Applying The Formula
In addition to reflecting our values, our goals also clarify our desired results and outcomes.
In clarifying the results that we would like to achieve, we also define what success means to us.

Even with the required brains and motivation, success is not guaranteed.
No goals are self-achieving.
To ensure that this or any version of a simple formula for success helps you achieve your goals, it is necessary to take action.
For business purposes, the actions to be taken are set out in your personal marketing plan.
Similarly, when a simple formula for success is about achieving life or personal goals, your personal growth plan details the actions to be taken.
As simple as this version of a simple formula for success appears to be, its effectiveness in achieving your desired results depends largely upon the actions you take to apply the formula.
Obviously, effective implementation of your plans is key.
