Podcast: A Formula for Success

EPISODE 211

I was watching the TV show, FBI International, Season 4, Episode 14, and I heard one of the characters, said this with respect to sniper training and shooting at someone at about timestamp 5:30 into the episode:

“Patience + Persistence + Timing + Opportunity = Then and only then do you fire.” – Cameron Vo – Fictional Character – FBI International TV Show

Even though you are not a sniper, you and are not going to shoot someone, can this formula be adapted for you to use to take a “shot” a something in your own life?

Can you use this formula taking a “shot” at success in your own life?

Or is it just part of a script on a TV show?

We all want success. Whether it’s in our careers, relationships, or personal goals, we’re constantly searching for that magic formula that gets us from where we are to where we want to be.

Consider this modified formula for achieving success in your own life:

“Patience + Persistence + Timing + Opportunity = Success”

Even if math is not your thing, you can use this equation to achieve success in your life.

Let’s examine each part of this success equation in detail.

So if you’re working toward something big right now, remember this formula.

Stay patient, stay persistent, watch for timing, and be ready when opportunity knocks so you can create a positive impact element of success in your own life.
