DNA Test

DNA is the term used to describe your genetic foundation.  It is often used to verify family relationships or as evidence in trials.  Think about how the same concept can be used as the basis for your success.  Success means different things to different people.  Only you can define what your finish line looks like.  However, there are some common traits (DNA) that can help you create a plan to reach it.  Take a DNA test to determine if you have the right combination to be the best you.  These are 3 tests to consider.

• Decision, Networking, Accountability - Make decisions with consideration, confidence, and commitment.  Know that there will be consequences, good and bad.  Build an effective network of support to help you recognize the risks and benefits of your decisions.  Rarely will you be the first person to ever encounter a situation.  Someone has usually been there before you.  Your network should function like a library.  They are a resource for you.  They will also hold you accountable for your action and reactions, your means and ends, and your outlook and outcome. While the beginning and end are important to your network, they are also interested in the middle.  Decisions facilitate networking.  Networking establishes accountability.  Accountability influences decisions. 

• Development, Negotiation, Attitude - Develop your skills to meet your vision.  You are equipped to handle where you are right now.  You will need new tools to be effective at your next level.  Continuous learning leads to continuous progress.  Be an active participant in what happens to you.  You get what you request.  Negotiate the terms, circumstances, and expectations that are most beneficial for you.  Others will be more willing to compromise with you when you approach them respectfully and honestly.  Your attitude speaks louder than any words that you say.  When people hear your name, you want them to anticipate collaboration not dread combativeness.    

• Drive, Navigation, Awareness - Your inner drive is the trigger for your intensity, focus, and consistency.  If you don't have the ambition to pursue what you want despite obstacles and challenges, then it won't happen.  What you have on the inside determines what happens on the outside.  You always have options when things go differently than planned.  How you navigate your way through trouble and disappointment will make an impression on others.  Be aware of the message that you are sending.  Know that there are connections and relationships that are not obvious to you.  Read, listen, and comprehend between the lines.
