The M and M’s of Success: Part III

Guest Blog Post by Pat Riley, Allen Tate Company

In previous posts I introduced the first two “M”s of my 3-part equation. Mindset and Mechanics are essential parts of living a successful, fulfilled life and career. So what is the last piece to the puzzle you may be asking? Well, the bow around the package is Momentum. Anything in life that is worthwhile is often achieved when we combine passion with hard work.

As human beings success does breed success. When we see the fruit of our efforts it energizes us along the journey. Our success fuels and motivates us to keep going. It gives us the strength to push ourselves to work harder and reach for new goals. That motivation is heightened when we stop and take the time to celebrate and pat ourselves on the back for our success. We cannot forget to enjoy the journey.

In many incidences we also need to have an accountability partner, loved ones or someone who cares about cheering us on along the way.

All of these little things, passion, hard work, someone to motivate us along the way, help build Momentum. Like a ball rolling down the hill or that a heavy truck trying to stop on a dime; once in motion you and I have a much better chance of achieving the goal set after as well as pushing through it.

Momentum provides the energy we need when the going gets tough.

So now you have it. The 3 M’s that will help ensure you make goals and plans that come to fruition.

Mindset coupled with the Mechanics of doing the work passionately will bring Momentum and success to you!
