My father is my hero.

He was born in 1933 in a tiny village in India at a time when the country was incredibly poor, with people dying of hunger every day. His mother died when he was 3, and his father passed away when he was 20.

Somehow, he managed to put himself through college. But even when Dad got a job in Bombay Indias biggest city he was still broke with a family to support.

So in 1974, he applied for a job in Dubai, a little-known place at the time.

Dont go! his siblings told him when he got the position. But while Indias prospects were horrible, Dubai had just found oil. He knew taking a chance on Dubai was a better bet a calculated risk.

I have nothing to lose, he told his family when he took the job.

In hindsight, going to Dubai was a no-brainer. The city grew spectacularly, and Dad made 100,000 times more money than if hed stayed in India.

My dad took a calculated risk when he took a chance on Dubai, and it paid off in spades.

Im my fathers son. Calculated risk-taking is my philosophy when it comes to investing and trading. Its how I made money for clients while on Wall Street. Its how I invest my own money now.

See, a calculated risk in the financial markets means you take opportunities when the odds are in your favor. That way, when you invest, you have a good chance of making money. You never get a guarantee, of course, but when I get good odds, I make the bet.

And looking back over my 25 years of investing, its worked out for me more often than not

I started my career on Wall Street in 1991 as a research assistant at Deutsche Bank, and I quickly advanced to prominent positions at Bankers Trust and ING, managing multimillion-dollar accounts. In 2006, I was recruited by the two owners of a $6 billion firm to be the key manager of their hedge fund.

Soon after I joined, the firms assets under management soared to $25 billion.

Everyone took notice.

Barrons named us one of the Worlds Best funds for averaging 43% returns during my tenure.

The Templeton Foundation even invited me to take part in a prestigious investment competition. They wanted to see what I could do with $50 million. Well, during a two-year period, I was able to make a 76% return. Not bad, considering I did this during the 2008 and 2009 economic crisis, and I did it without shorting stocks or making risky bets.

When I won the competition, I was thrust into the limelight. And Ive since appeared on CNBC, Fox Business News and Bloomberg TV but even when I was center stage, most people never knew about my personal gains, or the strategy Ive used to secure my wealth.

For instance, I uncovered a stock by the name of Sarepta Therapeutics when it was in the infancy stage of developing a drug to treat muscular dystrophy. I invested in the company and made a gain of 2,539%.

And while most people were skeptical of Netflix in 2008, I wasnt. Having insight on technological advancements, I knew the future of television was streaming online video. I invested and made gains of 634%.

I also saw a huge opportunity in Universal Display when they created organic LED technology. I discovered the opportunity very early on and pocketed gains of 293%.

I got in on the ground floor of Googles initial public offering (IPO), despite a huge amount of negative sentiment surrounding the stock and made more than double my investment. Since its IPO, Googles stock has shot up a whopping 2,234%!

After making all my gains, I retired at the age of 40 and moved into a country home located on the outskirts of Raleigh, North Carolina.

In this episode of the Warrior Mind Podcast Im going to go over your personal success path for peak performance.

In Stu McLarens TRIBE he has a concept of a Success Path. This is the process a member will go through a learn/training site.

I was so inspired by this I want to equate this to your life.

Stages These are the BIG steps or phases that your audience needs to take to get from where they are now to where they want to be. Typically, there will be from 3 (minimum) to 7 stages (maximum). Having more than 7 stages creates more overwhelm for your audience.

Characteristics These are the descriptions of somebody at that particular stage. What does someone at this stage think, feel, or do? These are the characteristics of a person who is at this stage. When describing these, start with the extremes, worst case scenario first (far left), then best case scenario (far right). This makes it a little easier to fill in the ones in between.

Please raise your hand if you have ever created a personal strategic plan.

Dont feel badly if your response is No. The reality is that few people begin their career with a personal strategic plan. And many do not have a career management plan either. In fact, William S. Burroughs once said, Only one in a million know what they want to do. Still fewer do it. It's doubtful that the quote is based on any research, but it is a powerful one anyway. The most successful companies have a strategic plan that they follow to guide their success in the industry in which they operate. They also have top strategic imperatives that are critical for smooth and continued operation. Likewise, it is important for individuals to have a personal strategic plan that will guide personal and career success.

Theres good news! Creating a personal strategic plan doesnt have to be a daunting task. With the right process, anyone can create a plan that includes all the drivers that are critical to your success. Outlined below is a four-step process to help you create your personal strategic plan.

The key to having a happy, satisfied and fulfilled life is to accomplish the things that are most important to you, and this is much easier to do if you have a personal strategic plan to guide your career and life success.

Creating a Personal Strategic Plan for Personal Success ...

Success is what everyone college student dreams of. My Philosophy of Success, I believe that success is being able to wake up each morning, look in the mirror and be satisfied with your life. I believe successful people have learned to appreciate all the good things in their lives. If they have food, clothing and chance to learn, they are grateful to have these things because they are fortunate compared to about 80 percent of the rest of the world. Success does not mean being extremely wealthy. It means being able to enjoy the life you have now. It means having the love and support of your family and friends. I believe that learning is one road that leads to a successful life not because having an education means earning a bigger income, but having education provides us with knowledge and critically thinking skills and a chance to meet different people and communities, which help us to know the importance of taking personal responsibility for our lives.

The first success strategy I plan on using all the time is accepting personal responsibility. There will be time when I need to focus on school and worry less about my free time. For example, I have a test to do on Monday and I have to study in order to get an A and pass the course. The weekend comes around and all I do is procrastinating my studying. The smart thing to do about this situation would be to think wise and use my self-management strategy. Free time will always be available but a test that determines your grade will not. This helps me to be a creator about things and keeping up with the self-management strategy.

Personal Philosophy of Success Essay - 289 Words

All of us chase after success. For majority of us, success means achieving more in life. A better car, a bigger house, a promotion at job or a fancy watch. This particular definition of success pertains to what I call as professional success. Most of the stars, sports people, top shot CEOs and other celebrities that you know are at pinnacle of their professional success. They probably worked very hard to achieve what they have today and are also probably very proud of it. So far, so good.

But, there is another aspect of success. I call it personal success. If you compare two people: one movie star and another middle class office goer, do you really think movie star is more happy than the office goer? Deep inside they both have same happiness scale. In fact, for all the possessions and fame that a movie star has got, he may be actually not as happy as the regular office goer who gets to see his family every day and spend quality time with them. Regular Joe is happy as hell, why should he be ashamed of not being a movie star?

So, personal success is a different ball game altogether. It is completely independent of professional success you have got. In fact, I value personal success much more as compared to professional success. Reason for that is because personal success is much easily achievable. You all have a choice to spend quality time with your friends and family and live a rich and happy life. But, sadly, many of choose to chase professional success like mad people (rats). We work endlessly to achieve the elusive professional success, odds of achieving which is very less (just compare number of celebrities out there v/s total population on Earth).

So, given you can be happy with your personal life right now, why would you work non-stop and sacrifice personal life for some professional success. Why should it even matter that you could not become Sachin Tendulkar, Bill Gates, Lady Gaga or Tom Cruise? Just because they are at pinnacle of their professional careers, do you think they more happy than you? I doubt and I am pretty convinced.

Professional success and personal success: two independent ...

Ten-year goals a decade is a long time. In our fast-paced, modern world, things may be almost unrecognizable ten years out. Technology, politics and world events are sure to change the landscape. Yet, if we are going to have a say in our lives, we need to plan for this uncertain future. One thing about a ten-year time frame is the ability to master an area of our lives. If we play the guitar, for instance, we can become really good over a decade. We can master the craft. The same goes for our careers, our family life, and building a business.

Malcolm Gladwell in his book, Outliers, delivers the researched conclusion that mastering talent in our lives takes on average, 10,000 hours. Given a forty hour work week, this works out to 4.8years of dedicated practice, working full time. Ten years then, it would seem, would give us plenty of time to become proficient at our desired occupations and worthwhile ventures.

In our overall goal setting model, it makes sense to look at the big picture and see what areas we want to dedicateour hours of hard work and learning to as the years roll by. To give us a playing field, Ive taken four areas of life and enclosed them in a worksheet.

Lets take a look at the sheet and how we can use it as a guide.

As you can see we have divided up the sheeting into four broad categories across the top, with three horizontalstepsthat include our goal, our dedicated area of practice or learning, and the resulting modified plan. They are..

Lets take a look at each one and Ill include some examples from my own career.

Back in my early twenties, this would have been how my personal goals looked.

These are common goals for people in their twenties.Depending on your time of life, looking ten years out will be radically different based on your age.

By taking each of the primary goals and looking at areas of learning and practice, its easy to figure out some mastery areas. Looking back at my life, I wish I would have taken the time and spent the money to do more of these the first time around.

In my early twenties, this was my job-based reality and how I saw my career progressing

I went to college anddid a professional certificate program in Auto Repair. This is how my mastery list would have looked

Back in the day, auto repair was a great business. In my college program, I learned how cars worked and how to fix them. I also took classes in sales and management. Thankfully, I talked with a business coach and decided against opening my own shop. But I did get certifications from an industry professional group, which led to higher pay and a management position.

As a trade, working on high-end European cars paid well and allowed my to buy a house after a few years on the job. Unfortunately, auto repair itself took its toll on my body after a while. Thankfully, I was able to eventually move into sales and management which saved my back.

Health and fitness goals are important to consider, depending on your age and occupation. In my case, working in auto repair in my twenties, I had the following goals

I knew that I needed more arm strength for lifting heavy items like transmissions and other large metal parts. Since I was planning on marriage, I had heard that you gain at least 10 to 15 pounds once you tie the knot. Given the solvents used in cleaning parts, I knew I wanted to stay away from too much contact. Here is how my health list would have looked after a few years on the job.

After messing up my lower and upper back a few times, I decided that I would pursue a management track, which would take me out of the repair stall and into the front office. Once I got married, the 10+ pounds magically appeared, and a change in eating habits was necessary. I invested in a pair of chemical-resistant gloves which helped save my hands.

Financial goals are crucial to consider, both on the saving and spending sides. Here are some of my financial goals when I was twenty.

I had three really big goals when I was in my early twenties. After finishing college, I needed a good job. Unfortunately, I didnt have any experience in my field.

To master my financial situation, I found that going backto school and getting industry certifications was a big help. Repair shops and dealerships were looking for people who had the latest certs so they would be qualified to do more technical work. Within a year, I was making good money on my first job. Once I started getting a paycheck, I started saving money for a house and getting married. Since I still lived at home with my parents, this was easier than if I had gone out on my own. I started having regular amounts taken from each paycheck, which made the process much easier.

Once I had saved for a couple of years, my girlfriend and I started looking in the local housing market. We found that we would need to move to the suburbs and combine both of our incomes to qualify. We found a house, decided to get married and used our savings to get started.

By investing in something, we could afford and setting up an automatic savings program helped. We soon had a rainy day fund set up.

By using the worksheet above its easy to see your goals, add in the areas to need to master, and then write out a plan to achieve them. Here is how the last row might have looked in my twenties.

Looking out ten years can be a little daunting at first, but talking with others, getting counseling, and working with a mentor can help. I wish I would have had this worksheet and a little foresight when I was in my twenties. It would have saved me a lot of mistakes and helped me be more diligent about what was vital.

Download the worksheet below and take some time filling out the goal section at the top. Then write in the middle section with areas that youll need to master and milestones youll need to reach to make your ten year dreams a reality. Once you are done, create a simple written plan to achieve them. Use our examples above as a guide.

10 Year Goal Worksheet

In our next step, well take a look at five-year goals and see how we can have foresight into the future, and set significant milestonesthat wont disappoint.

Hi Bedros-

My name is Adriel Yapana, and I'm an independent personal trainer.

As soon as I got your "Close Clients" video, I watched everything from beginning to end, absorbed the recommended strategies and took plenty of notes. I especially liked the included diagrams and the mentoring group brainstorm segment which was most helpful for me in formulating my own sales communication, I realized where I needed to work on myself, both verbal and written, and also the best use of my time with the prospect.

I like to choose the right tools to get the job done right and in this product, I've learned the right closing tools and how to use them. It's a must for every trainer.

To make a long story short, I recently got back in an environment where I have to close my own personal training packages. Unlike before where I was sent clients sold on a training package already and all I had to do was train them. I had to teach myself how to create my own leads and close my own clients.

Let me tell you, I studied and honed my skills the first week and the second week, I applied the strategies to my prospects.

Well, I revived my business the moment I used my new closing skills... I closed 2 big package programs: one a 12-month commitment of 5 sessions a week and the other, a 6-months package of multiple sessions a week. The skills I've learned from this product made an impact on my income instantly and I'm loving it!

As fitness professionals, we all get trained with these educational, sometimes mandatory fitness certifications to change bodies. This video should be a must for everyone who wants to get certified in "closing bodies," that is, your prospects!

Thanks again Bedros!
