This article is correct in thinking success breeds future success. Success doesn't happen by accident. Many things had to come together at once for there to be a winning recipe. When this happens it is important to document this process and try to duplicate it every time. The real trick is doing the same things to recreate success while staying fresh and being innovative. Master those things and you are well on your way!

Alt link 81: INSTANT MBA: Develop A Thick Skin And ‘Suck It Up’
Everyone is their own worst critic, but not everyone wants to see themselves how others see them. Often when we look in the mirror we don't like what we see, and often lash out at colleagues who are only trying to help us better ourselves. Keeping a thick skin helps a person take critisism in stride and develop themselves from it.

INSTANT MBA: Past Victories Don't Ensure Future Success
That is correct that past success will not ensure your future success. You have to be willing to be innovative, motivated and always ready for chances. I for one am trying to succeed with future endeavors that will help lead to success. In my last few jobs I have had much success with new ideas to enhance balance however I try not to use those past success as I shouldn't rely on them for the future.

INSTANT MBA: Past Victories Don't Ensure Future Success
If you spend too much time reveling in past success, you will miss the next opportunity to succeed. Although it is great to celebrate accomplishments, you have to constantly keep looking to the future. Just because you did great last quarter, that does not mean you have locked in success for next quarter. Instead, you must continue innovating, planning, and striving for your next great success. Companies must constantly keep looking to the future if they want to enjoy continuous success.

In order to maintain success, you must find the way to provide a service for the public that they need and desire while maintaining a successful business plan.

I agree with what the article is saying about how past success doesn't guarantee future success. What worked for a company in the past may not work for a company in the future. If your company keeps doing the same thing then your company will receive the same results. If you want to succeed in the future then you have to change what you are doing. Your company does not have to make drastic changes but they do have to make changes. Your company should always try to think of new ideas to make your company more successful.

INSTANT MBA: Past Victories Don't Ensure Future Success
While ideas that worked in the past can be beneficial, it is not always what will work today. Many businesses probably fall into this trap and unfortunately become obsolete. In order to stay successful today with our innovative society, business owners need to be thinking outside of the box daily on how to improve sales or draw in more customers.

I feel like I’ve read this article already………hmmmm. Anyway, it’s still a good article. I believe that just because something may have worked yesterday, doesn’t mean that it will work today. While it is good to celebrate and enjoy your victories, it’s also a healthy choice to understand that you still need to focus. Although this may be difficult for some, the sooner you learn this, the more successful you’ll be.

Every successful person can relate to this article. Although you may have become well off, as long as you still have the desire and the drive to make something more out of your business you will continue to be successful. There is never room to slack off when you are trying to make your dreams come true, just because you did well in one aspect of your business does not mean that you will continue to do well. Taking your victory and letting it fuel your desire to work harder is what should happen, by doing this you will continue to be successful.

This article reminds business leaders that you have to constantly scout ahead for future undertakings, ways to better your business, or innovate new products. Past success is not guaranteed to continue on into the future, there comes a point where that success runs out. If you don't want that to happen you must constantly look ahead a constantly seek out ways to make your business bigger and better than before.

I think it is important as a business owner to stay humble with your success. If you begin to take your success for granted you can lose the creative edge that created the success. Your past success is not always going to generate future success, so it important to have the hungry to build success in different ways.

INSTANT MBA: Past Victories Don't Ensure Future Success
In any venture you take on in life, whether it be opening a business, being a leader, or a simple hobby such as a sports team, you always have to remember that the past is the past and you can't let it effect the present or the future. If you've had many successes in the past, that doesn't always mean your luck will continue, and if you've had many failures, you have to pull yourself out of the weeds and work hard to make yourself successful. Being too successful in the past and thinking that it will continue can sometimes make you lazy and unmotivated, which in turn will eventually lead to failure. Moral of the story: leave your past in the past.

“We do not for one minute believe past success ensures future success.” This a great quote, to many rest on their laurels and don't strive to be their best when they are successful. You have to work harder when your at the top because everyone is aiming for you. You see Walmart going through these problems this year. In the first quarter their sales dropped 30 percent while Costco went up 40%. Walmart is spending so much to advertise and not paying employees a fair wage. This causes high employee turnover and empty shelves. Costco is doing the exact opposite wanting to pay employees more and actually in-favor of raising the minimum wage. They can keep their bottom line this way by having good employees.

This reminds me of what I have heard in so many organizations—“but we have always done it that way.” Just because something has worked well in the past, it does not mean it will continue to be successful. Growth of the business often requires innovation and change.

INSTANT MBA: Past Victories Don't Ensure Future Success
Just because a product or a business has had success in the past does not meant that it will have it in the future. An because of that reason it is important to be innovative. To be innovative you have to keep up with what is going on in the world. For example, in the past people may not have been focused on being healthy so eating fried chicken was not such a bad idea, but today people are more worried about their health so you might want to expand your menu to have grilled chicken on it. Innovation is success.
