Mauro Libi Crestani: The word success is there only in the dictionary?

A young reader of my blogs said that in his personal experience, he understood that success was only a word was in the dictionary, and apparently - according to their perception-had only a linguistic meaning. He also told me that he found it "interesting" that I considered my father as "a successful man".

Secret-of-success1
Certainly there are many people who have the same perception of the success that the young reader. For years they have perceived the victory as something that does not exist and have not received information about the true nature of success, as individuals, as entrepreneurs and as a society.

Since I'm not an expert in these matters, I just dedicate myself to write my opinion on such issues, I suggest you review the dictionary definition of success, exactly as the young man says. In the dictionary of the Spanish language it says that success is a word of Latin origin on exitus meaning ("Exit"), and the concept refers to the right effect or consequence of an action or of an enterprise. Its root is more or less obvious by the context in which we use this word as many times expressed "excel," "out above the competition" and "out of the darkness of anonymity".


He explains that success is a subjective and relative share, and is associated with the victory and gaining merit-based objectives.

How I personally interpret success is when we plan the goals we want in life, whether medium or large, and we succeeded. We accomplished our planned goal.

There are many who say that success is measured by the degree of satisfaction of having achieved a goal to my satisfaction. This is a feeling of success and accomplishment. It's a good internal feeling. This can only be described as a spiritual feeling.

Our commercial and materialistic society these days establishes a relationship between success and material wealth or fame and celebrity. This perception is distorted.  If you are not as famous as Justin Bieber or rich like Tiger Woods, then you feel unsuccessful.

Those who are not satisfied internally when they achieve a goal, however small, are likely to have problems in understanding how success works. Success leads to a state of satisfaction but does suggest greater responsibility, more organization, discipline and working  hard work without rest. Focus on the goal and the daily details and reinforce positive attitude.

I recommend to all those who do not believe in success, or who fear success defined targets. What do they want in their life ?, Where do they want to go once they know what they want. Face your obstacles to realizing those goals and overcome those obstacles. Work with determination on the rail leading to the conclusion of those goals.

Mauro Libi Crestani: Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations

By  Mauro Libi Crestani.  Business hire management teams to figure out new ways to solve customer problems, improve products, create new revenue streams, and reduce costs. This involves creating new ideas for change. Technology, innovation, products and the way of doing business means coming up with new ideas for staying competitive in today’s quick moving market. Every change starts with an idea—a vision of what could happen to create a tangible benefit for an organization. But ideas are not enough. Change initiatives are not just whole scale business transformations. These make-or-break moments can also be leadership changes, restructurings, culture changes, system implementations, operational excellence programs, workforce programs or new market expansions. This involves time and money. Given all the investment in change and its importance to a company’s future health it is important to take note that…..

Mauro Libi Crestani: Negative attitude can destroy your career and personal life

I once went into a car dealership for a car purchase. I was meet by a salesman who was dressed in a well ironed suit and he had the biggest smile. He introduced himself by name and he asked for my name. He offered me something to drink as we discussed my desires in a car.  Let me assure you, that you came to the right place. He had been with that dealership for years. His customers stayed with him each time they wanted a new car.  I was told that this car dealership was about positive attitude. The salespeople , the finance  department , the service department all had to be positive that their customers were treated with the best service and that all their needs and concerns were listened to and acted on. I felt so positive that this was the place for me.  I have a married friend  who in sales. He is always depressed and always quiet. He is my friend and I once went to him to purchase his product for my company. He was telling me how sales were down, that he was not sure that he w

How does technology help in business communication?

One of the elements which has undoubtedly worked to support our growth, expansion and excellence projects in the last years, has been technology applied to business communication. I still remember when everything was reduced to memos, billboards, advertisements, photos and one or another printed publication in order to communicate inside the company; at the same time absolutely massive Advertising in existing media was in charge to go to the great public which included our customers and prospects.  Today we can say that with the advance of humankind, communication needed is also appearing. And our times make use of digital communication to improve business processes with more efficient and functional ways which allow more interaction, and overall, business productivity. Technology in communication expressed in the use of Internet, and with it, the Web, social networks, e-mails, multimedia resources (videos, infographics, memes, podcast, live broadcast, etc.); joined wi
