Bangalore: What is success is defined by people in different ways. It depends on one’s experience.There is no hot selling recipes for success. All that one has to practice is focus, discipline and follow up. These are a few fundamental points that one has keep in mind during his journey towards success.

Michael Feuer, CEO of OfficeMax has launched a number of successful business ventures, the author of the new book ‘The Benevolent Dictator: Empower Your Employees, Build Your Business, and Outwit the Competition’ says there is not a simple magic bullet that will propel someone straight to the top. He said, “Success in any endeavor, especially business, really comes down to specific character traits and habits. If you have those qualities, you’ll excel. And if you don’t, you probably won’t.”

Here are some qualities that Feuer proposes that anyone can practice and can make them work to get
success.

Take good notes

 
Taking notes in business is just as important as it was in your class in college. Your brain is not always as powerful as you think it is, and having a written record of your boss?s project analysis or your colleague’s sales strategy can save you from having freak out moments, and can set you apart from the pack and put you on a straighter path to success.

It’s better to dictate the notes from a meeting the second you walk out or appoint someone to act as a scribe beforehand. One should keep all of his past notes in a folder on his computer, and also always make sure to jot down next steps. These habits ensure that nothing falls off the radar unintentionally, and that always have a good idea of what needs to happen next.
