These Are The Keys To Success

<p>For nearly three decades, Tom Morris, one of the world&apos;s top public philosophers and pioneering business thinkers, has been on a mission to bring philosophy back to the center of daily life. Travelling the globe working with world-class business executives, athletes, coaches, administrators, and entrepreneurs, Tom realized that, regardless of the field or industry, everyone wanted the same thing: advice about excellence. So began his search to find the universal conditions for success and the skills or arts involved to achieve it. “My claim,” <a href='https://dailystoic.com/tom-morris-interview/'>Tom said in our interview with him for DailyStoic.com</a>, “is that for success in any challenge, the great practical philosophers have taught me that we need what I call The 7 Cs of Success”:</p><ol><li>A clear CONCEPTION of what we want, a vivid vision, a goal clearly imagined.</li><li>A strong CONFIDENCE that we can attain that goal.</li><li>A focused CONCENTRATION on what it takes to reach our goal.</li><li>A stubborn CONSISTENCY in pursuing our vision.</li><li>An emotional COMMITMENT to the importance of what we&apos;re doing.</li><li>A good CHARACTER to guide us and keep us on a proper course.</li><li>A CAPACITY TO ENJOY the process along the way</li></ol><p>“You can find all seven of these ideas in the writings of <a href='https://dailystoic.com/seneca/?utm_source=convertkit&amp;utm_medium=convertkit&amp;utm_campaign=keys-to-success'>Seneca</a> or <a href='https://dailystoic.com/marcus-aurelius/?utm_source=convertkit&amp;utm_medium=convertkit&amp;utm_campaign=keys-to-success'>Marcus Aurelius</a>,” Tom added. “The great thinkers understood greatness.” You’ll notice that all of Tom’s 7 Cs of Success fall under what the Stoics called the dichotomy of control. Basically, we can control some things and can’t control others—and we should focus on <a href='https://dailystoic.com/real-estate-actually-control/?utm_source=convertkit&amp;utm_medium=convertkit&amp;utm_campaign=keys-to-success'>what we can control</a>.
