Success Patterns

October 21, 2006

orange.jpgIf you were my child, and you are not because my kids don’t read my stuff, you would frequently hear me talk about patterns.  I tell them the world is a group of patterns and you cannot control them all because you are a small fish in a big pond.

There are a group of patterns you do have some control over, and that is you.  Who you are.  What you do.  - And the first pattern you need to control is one that recognizes you as a group of patterns and enables you to shape yourself into the most powerful and successful matrix you can be.

That means that you do influence the world around you, although you recognize you cannot absolutely control it. 

The point?  Like it or not, you are a series of patterns.  You do have control over these patterns.  You can pick and choose which patterns to follow every day.  Or you can just stay on auto-pilot.  If you are highly successful already, maybe auto-pilot is a good thing.  You already have those success patterns in place.  But could you be more successful in less time?  Maybe if you get off of auto-pilot and start redefining you.

Word of Mouth/Buzz is a series of patterns.  It is crafting a product or story that triggers enough interest in people to make them pay attention and repeat it to others.

Being successful with WOM or buzz is not difficult.  Learn more ways to communicate with people and make buzz a part of your every day set of patterns.  I strive to spend at least a half hour of buzz every day.  Usually at night or early in the morning.  It is not something I do, it is part of who I am.

Whether you are in sales and marketing or not, make buzz a part of who you are and you will have an important piece of the success pattern puzzle.
