The Templeton Plan: Step 9

The Templeton Plan is written for those who consider themselves students in the school of total success. It is suggested that you devote yourself to one step each day, over a period of three weeks, Each step should be studied carefully until the following questions can be answered in a satisfactory and thorough manner:
  1. What do these ideas really mean?
  2. How do they apply to my own life?
  3. How can I use their meaning in achieving success?

Step 9: Utilizing Two Principles of Success

  • Practice honesty and perseverance
  • Perseverance in all of your daily activities leads to the formation of an orderly mind instead of one that is full of loose ends. It leads to a mind that is purposeful and capable of planning ahead. It leads ultimately to success in life because the habit of sticking to a given task, having now taken an interior form, helps you convey facts more accurately and quickly.
  • Honesty is the way you interact with people around you and those you have close relations with. Through honest relationships, not promising too much or underutilizing your current ability, we can become honest to others on what our skill sets are that will contribute to the team, family, or company.

Points to Consider:

  1. Successful people finish what they begin. Be sure to think carefully before you take on a task, but, once you start it, complete it with thoroughness, energy, and resolve. 
  2. Handle all of your business relationships--and particularly other peoples money--as sacred trust.

Questions to Ask Yourself:

  1. When you are hired to do a job, do you give it your all?
  2. Do you avoid cutting corners and give as much as promised or even more?
  3. Do you accept each assignment as a fresh challenge and a chance to grow in your profession and as a person?

5 Dimensions of Win/Win

Key Points: It begins with character and moves toward relationships, out of which flow agreements. It is nurtured in an environment where structure and systems are based on Win/Win. And it involves process; we cannot achieve Win/Win ends with Win/Lose or Lose/Win means. Character There are three character traits essential to the Win/Win paradigm. Integrity, Maturity, Abundance Mentality.  Integrity is the values we place ourselves into. Maturity is the balance between courage and consideration.  Abundance Mentality is the paradigm that there is plenty out there for everybody. A character rich in integrity, maturity, and the Abundance Mentality has a genuineness that goes far beyond technique, or lack of it, in human interaction. If we search deeply enough within ourselves-beyond the scripting, beyond the learned attitudes and behaviors- the real validation of Win/Win, as well as every other correct principle, is in our lives.  Relationshi...

Are You A Gap Filler?

 What is Gap Filler You May Ask?  A gap filler is someone who has the ability and awareness to see opportunities and challenges around them, then fill them.  When there is a gap in communication, someone has to fill the void.  When there is a gap in leadership, someone has to fill the void.  When there is a gap in love, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in work, someone has to fill the void. It is self-explanatory to understand that a gap filler, fills gaps.  It is also very easy to misunderstand the importance and strength it takes to be a gap filler. Practically this looks like covering a shift of another co-worker, looks like overcommunicating to others that may bring conflict upon yourself, taking the burden of hurt from others and their trama, as well as taking the blame knowingly when another leader falls short. This is a heavy burden sometimes because you have to be the glue that holds seemingly everything together. But, take heart, b...

Step 16: Maximizing The Power Of Your Faith   Successful and happy people will try to express their empathy in all circumstances. This means putting yourself inside the minds and hearts of others and feeling the effect your words and attitudes will have on them.  It is wise to say, give me the courage to improve what I can improve, the patience to endure what I cannot improve, and the wisdom to tell the difference between the two.
