The 7 Rules Of Success

The articles in this section are extracted from my Book “The 7 Rules of Success”

Fiona Harrold I have been thinking about success, about what it means and how you achieve it for the last three years.

In that time I’ve talked to the successful people whose stories are in this book about how they do what they do.

I wanted to take the mystery out of success, to lay bare the thinking behind great achievement and to expose the strategies and secrets of outstanding individuals. This is the core of The 7 Rules of Success.

I have been able to identify the 7 Rules that great modern achievers follow, the ones that you too can use to transform your life. All the achievers in this book follow all these rules, but I have selected four people for each rule who demonstrate it most forcefully.

Apply the thinking, follow the strategies, adopt the behaviour, and experience the results.

I believe that what you read here will prove invaluable to you in your journey through life, in your quest for success, whatever that means to you, whatever age you are.

Use this book as your success manual, your rulebook. All you need to get started is a notebook to jot down responses to the questions I’m going to be asking you to answer and an appetite for success.

7 Rules: Introduction

7 Rules: Introduction

Success is what you make it mean. It can also change over time. The trick is to figure out what success looks like to you and go after it.

Rule Number 1: Be Passionate

Passion is the driving force behind achievement. If it isn’t underpinned by passion you’re building your life on shaky foundations.

Rule Number 2: Practise Self-belief

Where you end up is where your self-belief takes you to. It’s down to you to create the self-belief you need to take you where you want to go.

Rule Number 3: Do More

Successful people do more than their less successful counterparts. You have to put the work in to get the results you want.

Rule Number 4: Take More Risks

How many great ideas are lying around, waiting for someone to take a risk with them? Don’t let fear of failure hold you back.

Rule Number 5: Inspire Others

Motivated colleagues and “fellow travellers” can help you achieve your vision, just as you in turn can inspire others on their journey.

Rule Number 6: Persevere

Tough times happen – difficulties, disappointments, disasters. Fiona talks about the value of persevering when the going is hard.

Rule Number 7: Be Generous

Fiona talks about the power – and importance – of generosity not just in your personal life but in your business life as well.
