10 Universal Laws For Success


Last night I went to my son’s graduation ceremony. I was absolutely inspired by the speaker Seton Bailey – FILMSA – www.filmsa.co.za. Seton is very much part of the film industry of SA but also heads up the Non Profit organization F.I.L.M.

His speech was about the film industry and newcomers (like this young graduates) to the film industry but while he was talking I just saw all the faces of our young students before me. Students with dreams to become a Wedding Planner or an Events Planner.



Just like the film industry – the events/wedding industry is extremely competitive, and extremely difficult for a newcomer to make a success in. BUT – all things are possible for him who believes!

In the next few blogs I’m going to start going into more detail on each of the points that he gave us that evening. Seton called it:

10 Universal Laws you may choose to use – or lose – in the real world.

1.                  Flexibility and adaptability are absolutely key out there in the real world.
2.                  Work from the inside out
3.                  Take small achievable steps
4.                  Don’t reinvent the wheel
5.                  Look, Listen and Learn
6.                  Talk is cheap
7.                  The decisions and choices you make along the way will break or make your future and your product
8.                  Never, ever forget the foundation stones or if you like – the four pillars:
a.       Professionalism
b.      Attitude
c.       Creativity
d.      Entrepreneurial or business savvy
9                    Don’t give up… ever. Try and try again – nothing is impossible – impossible just takes longer to achieve
10                Believe in yourself and your vision and mission in life – if you don’t nobody else will.

SO WHAT’S STOPPING YOU? THERE’S NO PLACE FOR EXCUSES IN THE REAL WORLD. THEY JUST GET IN THE WAY OF ACTION!



JUST DO IT!

GO OUT THERE AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!
