Work Ethic
The most understood success principle and the least used principle of success!
Everyone knows you must work hard to succeed, but few are truly willing to put in the work.
Truly successful people have the ability to work hard and long toward the goal or task at hand. They also understand that just working hard is not the answer to success. They know they must work hard on the most important things that will have the greatest impact first. This is a parallel to one of my favorite quotes...
"Perfect practice makes perfect"
I believe successful individuals consciously apply a strong work ethic toward all of the AMP IT UP principles.
They continually work on improving their positive attitude.
They continually work on their mental state.
They work on their preparation both mentally and physically.
They posses intensity and tenacity and will work tirelessly to the end result.
They work on setting unyielding standards for themselves.
They work on following their passions.
The challenge to all is to keep our success principles ready for action each day.
What do you do to keep your success principles active?

Unyielding Standards
It is undoubtably true the most successful people hold themselves to a higher standard than most and they continually strive to achieve them.
One way to set your standard is to evaluate your current position relative to your current outcomes and the outcomes you envision for yourself. Do this in writing. Create a clairifying statement of your standard of performance, write it out and post it where you will see it dailiy.
Make sure your statements are inline with your overall goals.
Share your statements with others.
As an example: "I will always be on time for my appointments. If I will be delayed I will contact my appointment and give them the respect and courtesy of a phone call."
Please share your statements with us.

Tenacity
It is without a doubt successful people possess a single mindedness when working toward their outcomes. They seldom stray from their plan and they are convinced the path they are taking is the correct path toward the achievement of the goals they have set.
Successful people are able to “Keep their eye on the prize.”
Each of us has at one time or another demonstrated Tenacity in our lives. Some toward a sports goal, others a musical piece, and others in the home doing a project. After tenaciously working toward your goal and completeing it you will feel a sense of personal pride and accomplishment.
Take a moment and share a goal you have tenaciously worked for and accomplished.
