Unveiling Already Emerging as a “Success Story”

Success Has Leading Indicators

After yesterday’s absolutely magnificent digital video shoot for Unveiling: An Inner Journey(beautifully done by videographer kirene from Aurora Vision Quest), I’ve been basking the warm, soft afterglow of success — a feeling that might last another few hours. It will last until the next big challenge pulls me from the warm, soft post-glorious production of yesterday in to the compelling “to-do’s” and “must-do’s” of today and this coming week.

Yet I have to say – and absolutely must share – that yesterday’s experience was a high point.

What I realized this morning is not only the old saying, “Success breeds success,” but also something even more germane: “Success has leading indicators.” Those of us who know what a successful venture is like – whether it’s a company or a product – know to look for certain “early warning signs” that the new venture or product will be successful.

There are certain “key early success indicators”:

• A clear guiding and unifying vision.
• A clear “go-forward” plan, with well-defined target outcomes and well-defined process steps.
• A great team, where everyone knows both their roles and their strengths, knows the objective of any given task, and stays mission-focused througout.

We have this on tbe overall for Unveiling: An Inner Journey, the book itself. We also had these same factors in play yesterday, as we pulled off an excellent video shoot of four different scenes (different stage set, lighting and costumes) within four hours. We knew our vision: We were going to create the raw video footage that would express the four core Unveiling “archetypes.”
