“ 3 TIC to Success “ or “RAF route of Success “ by Rajesh Singh ( Curious Success Strategist )

How to become successful ? 

What are the ingredients to become a successful professional?

What should I do to become successful in this intense competitive market?

How can I Make this business grow ? 

The above mentioned are few of the many  curious queries  asked by various professionals/ organizations  who want to reach sky high within limited time frame. Ironically, everyone of us are aware of the solution too but we just want to hear a better , simpler version of it which makes it  easier to understand and  takes less efforts to implement it. In anticipation to the requirement , the market/ business experts has taken valuable measure to re-define better version   thereby satisfying the growing constant demand. To my thinking , as the market getting intensely competitive , the  required skill sets attributes to become successful  also keeps upgrading. That extra skill set required 10 year back  has become a almost basic now and in addition to it you need that Xtra factor , which can be the “X” factor too, which never stay constant.

Today, I would like to share my version of that “X” which is required to become the best in whatever you do . This factor revolves around the concept “ TIC” – , you just need this 3 TIC in you become the best in whatever you do ( Profession / Entrepreneur / Sportsmen etc ). Hence, I unveil you  the philosophy of “ 3 tic to Success “ ,  also known “ RAF “ route to success ,  mentioned below

1.       Realistic

2.       Analytic

3.       Futuristic

Confusing isn’t it ?

Let me explain the each of X factor one by one ,

Realistic     : “ look at the mirror and see the real you “ , I always end up advising  my team  to evaluate their current status regularly which includes their strength and  weakness, what are they capable of and what they can do. Being Realistic is the first step towards Success for any professional/ business house . This stage holds immense importance ,a slight mistake at this level will create bigger problems in near future . Let say an organization stays in an assumption that they are the best in the market  wherein realistically they are no where near to the best  in the current market standards. Now if this organization plans to maximise the market share , do you think they will ever achieve it ?........ NEVER ;  coz they will never work on their weakness and capitalise on their strength thereby failing to achieve the desired milestone. Let me give you one more example – we all know famous cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli, they were best friend since childhood and have played together, Vinod Kambli was way more talented than Sachin but he couldn’t become the best as  he was not realistic in his approach. He didn’t evaluate himself correctly wherein Sachin did, Sachin had worked on his weakness and capitalise his strength regularly.  As a consequence, we all know what followed  after , Sachin has become GOD of Game and Vinod Kambli stands no where in the statictics.  Therefore I suggest you to be Realistic first and them become Optimistic.

2. Analytic :  In this current competitive market one can start a  business  through Instinct but can only grow by measuring business portfolio through number and hence it is mandatory for us to be  Analytic.   Being analytic help us to define a strategy , design a roadmap, laydown the implementation process , allocate  resources , evaluate the outcome  and indicates  improvement areas.  I suggest if you to quantify the process to  maximise the outcome . 

3.Futuristic  :  The integration of first two  “ Tic” will make you capable of defining the third category “ Futuristic “ . If you know your current measurable status, you can easily define your destination. Have you ever walk down a road without knowing where you are going, sound foolish isn’t it ? likewise  if we don’t define our realistic professional/organizational,  milestone we could never attain the next level  and further levels. It is mandatory to draw a long term plan further segregated into multiple short term milestone which will make the journey easier and simpler.

To conclude it , if you stay Realistic and be Analytic , work Futuristic, destiny will touch your feet and success will follow you . The Choice is yours !!!
