1. The One-Minute TIP
Successful individuals, business leaders and artists have
fundamentals that guide them because success is a set of skills
you can learn, apply and use. "If you do what successful
people have done, you will get the results successful people
have gotten." The New Science of Success is about showing
you how to achieve more, live better and struggle less.
============================================
2. Welcome Notes
Our trees have leaves! Or, well, sort of. The buds have
burst and our trees have the little beginnings of leaves
sprouting all over. This is good! Today, Tucker and I walked
in the sunshine and I was actually warm in a golf shirt.
This is a good thing! Tonight the rain will return, but
there is no denying the hope of spring. I like it!
On a more serious and wondrous note, someone has said that
"serendipity is when preparation meets opportunity." For
weeks I've sensed that the "next big thing" was just around
the corner, but I couldn't see it. Then, this week, a
comment by a participant in the Git 'er Done program ignited
fireworks in my brain. The "New Science of Success" seemed
to emerge full-blown and "ready." I think you'll like how
this plays out in the coming weeks. Watch for more on this!
And, a reminder that the Freebie of the Month, "Family
Wealth Made Simple" has received a tremendous response.
Folks seem to like it. It works, it makes sense and it
"feels right." I hope you'll grab your copy, and of course,
I hope you'll encourage at least five friends to get their
own copy. Just drop them a short email and send them to:

Finally, we had three more registrations for our World Class
Life Conference this week and space is going quickly. We
have folks from Germany, Canada and all over the U.S. I hope
you'll join us! Time's passing quickly and you don't want to
miss this powerful opportunity to invest in yourself, your
future and your skills for success! This thing changes
lives...and it's fun! Join us by registering at:

3: The New Science of Success
Last week on our Git 'er Done in 2010 call, I casually
referred to (and probably mangled) Jim Rohn's observation
that, "Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is
the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic
fundamentals." During the Q&A at the end of the call,
Jenny from New York mentioned that she had never thought
about success as a skill-driven, predictable process.
Something clicked in my brain. I've always thought of
success--in any area of life--as a set of skills that can be
mastered and applied to achieve anything we truly want.
Success is the predictable result of doing the things that
others have done to create or achieve the results we want in
our lives. As Tony Robbins has said, "success is the logical
result of doing the things winners have done."
I spent the rest of the evening contemplating Jenny's words
and my belief in the "learn-ability" of success. Before bed
I reserved a couple new domain names and sent an email to my
MasterMind partners. I think this new Science of Success
is important and could lead to big things.
Success and achievement in life--from parenting to fitness
to money or time management, to wealth, fame, power or
athletic prowess--is the result of mastering the
fundamentals. It's about approaching the task as a problem
to be solved, as a set of skills to be learned and applied.
In that sense, as long as we live in a predictable, orderly
universe, success is basically an engineering problem. What
a concept!
I anticipate expanding on this in many ways, for a long time
to come. I don't know where it will lead but here are some
of my initial thoughts on the Who, What, Why and How of
success:
1. Success comes to those who are prepared. Success comes
to some people more readily than others, but the difference
has nothing (nothing!) to do with luck or genetic talent or
family background. It comes to people who are balanced,
healthy, and structured. It is not attracted to scenes of
chaos, drama, confusion or impulsivity. Success in the outer
world is built on mastering one's own inner world. Get good
at living on purpose, with balance, enthusiasm, focus and
energy.
2. Success comes to those who know what it is. Success
comes to those who have defined their outcomes in advance,
who know their purpose and are committed to their goals.
Success is not about "a little of this and some of that."
It's not about starting over or giving up when things get
hard. Success is about defining what you want, knowing where
you're going, and pursuing your goals with creative,
persistent determination.
3. Success comes to those who know why they want it.
Success comes from purpose and passion, from having powerful
reasons for success. Successful people are described as
"driven" by a dream or "pulled" by their sense of mission.
They are rarely distracted, seldom confused and they never
give up. It's often impossible to tell whether they have a
dream or the dream has them. They stay the course because
it's important. They have their reasons.
4. Success comes to those who know how. Success requires
effective strategies, solid plans, a budget, a schedule and
talented partners, coaches and teammates. Success is not
random! We live in a orderly, predictable world and
successful people often spend more time developing their
"blueprint" or "path" than it takes to achieve their goals
once they get into action. Eager, impulsive failures tend to
launch before they are ready. Winners focus on the plan.
They know how their plan is going to work, and they work
their plan.
Happily married couples do certain things over the years.
Successful parents use specific skills, behaviors and
attitudes to help their children grow and develop.
Successful athletes, business leaders and artists have
fundamentals that guide them because success is a set of
skills that you can learn, apply and use. "If you do what
successful people have done, you will get the results
successful people have gotten."
Two final notes: More than most weeks, I would like your
comments and feedback on this article. What do you think? Is
it helpful? How will you apply these ideas? Let me know!
Send email to: Coach@philiphumbert.com
Second, while many things (the basics) remain the same from
year to year at our World Class Life Conference, every year
I develop a specific new packet just for that group. This
year I am leaning toward an extended unit on the "The New
Science of Success." Success and achievement are the
logical, predictable result of applying the fundamental
skills. If you would like to know more and master these
skills, join us! Register at: http://MyWorldClassLife.com

4. Quotes of the Week
“Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue
over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small
hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone
else's hands, but not you.”
-- Jim Rohn
Persistent people begin their success where others end in
failure."
-- Edward Eggleston
“The best career advice to give the young is, find out what
you like doing best and get someone else to pay you for
doing it.”
-- Katherine Whilehaen
“People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well,
neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily.”
-- Zig Ziglar

5. Strictly Business: Your Key Results
I had a particularly important conversation with a client
this week. He has built a wonderful business that is
approaching $2 million in annual sales, and he realized that
while he works hard every day, he is unclear about what his
MOST IMPORTANT results or outcomes need to be.
Should he focus on sales or leadership? Is he supposed to be
the visionary, or is his most important job to track the
numbers and keep everything under control?
Every task has one or two KEY outcomes and it is absolutely
vital that you know what they are.
In sales, your key outcome is almost certainly the volume of
sales you make during each reporting period. But to make
that number, you have to know what the key factors are!
Over time, do you get more and better results from making
cold calls or from servicing past clients? Are you more
productive when you attend networking functions, or when you
spend time with your biggest customer? Does advertising
work, or are your sales built through long-lasting
relationships?
The answer will vary by industry, by company, and according
to your own skills, personality and interests, but it is
absolutely essential that you KNOW what your key results
are, and the BEST way to achieve them.
Keep records, talk with colleagues, read, listen to audio
programs and take classes, and most important of all, take
time to analyze what works best for you!
Everyone gets more and better results with a coach. Too
often it's true that "you can't see the forest for the
trees." Get and use a skilled personal coach! The results
will astonish you! Contact me at: Coach@philiphumbert.com

6. Resources and Tools for YOUR Success!
#1 The 15th Annual World Class Life Conference
May 20-22nd in Beautiful Wisconsin!
If not now, when?
If not you, who?
www.MyWorldClassLife.com
The most successful people in the world know who they are
and where they are going. Living well can be defined as
living a life of one's own. Too many of us spend our lives
working hard, racing from here to there and chasing other
people's goals! Don't let that happen to you! You DESERVE
time to focus on yourself! You deserve time to clarify your
major purpose and highest aspirations in life! You deserve
practical, powerful strategies to make your dreams come
true!
Of course you do! And the winners in life TAKE the time.
They INVEST in themselves, their skills and their goals.
They network with the best people they can find. They attend
the seminars. They plot strategy and make sure they are on
course and focused on their most important priorities.
A great life does not happen by accident or by working
harder and hoping for the best. Success in life -- total,
balanced, fulfilling success -- is the logical result of
doing the right things, in the right order, at the right
time. The WCL has been the turning point for many, many
people over the years. It gives you the tools and the time,
the space and permission to focus on what you truly want for
this one and only life. It gives you strategies that work,
and the inspiration to work them. This May, make the
commitment to create and live the life you truly want!

#2 Use a MasterMind Alliance to Achieve Your Goals
Get the Support, Advice & Encouragement You Need
We All Need a Little Help from Our Friends
http://TheNewMasterMind.com
Every winning athlete, and successful business person has a
team of experts behind them. How would you like a team of
hand-picked advisors committed to your personal success?
What could you do with expert advice, wise counsel, and a
network of successful people at your finger-tips?
Back in 1935, Napoleon Hill wrote that a MasterMind group
was the one essential behind every successful person he
interviewed! And yet very few people create a Mastermind
team to help them achieve their most important goals in
life! Now you can! Most people don’t know how or they fear
they wouldn’t know who to ask. Now, I’ve written the manual!
I’ve create a recipe so you can create your own MasterMind
whenever you wish! I’ve included suggestions for where, when
and how often to meet. I’ve even included simple scripts to
get you started. Check it out!
If success is important to you, you deserve a MasterMind
group to help you get there. Click for more info.

#3 Make Your Website Work BETTER!
Earn Passive Income!
http://philiphumbert.com/go/1A.htm
Over the years, I've paid lots of money for shopping carts,
autoresponders and systems that were supposed to help me
serve my subscribers and make money from my website. They
all worked (sort of), but they were complex, confusing and
didn't work very well. Then I discovered Don Schnure and the
amazing programs he's put together. They work! They are
powerful, EASY to use, and they let me automate my
newsletter, my affiliate programs and my shopping cart, with
no hassle! I love this! And, you can use it for 30 days to
check it out. Highly recommended! (Full disclosure -- I earn
a commission if you sign up for 1Automation, but I've used
it for years and recommend it because it's worked really,
really well for me.) http://philiphumbert.com/go/1A.htm
