Years ago, I noted these six keys and am always glad to re-discover that scrap of a file folder with fading ink. Perhaps these words also influenced Tom and Kate Chappell, founders of Tom's of Maine (body care products), a company sold to Colgate for about $100 million. 

On Friday, I heard the Chappells list their own keys to success. The seven "Intentions" described in their book Managing Upside Down are:

• Connect to Goodness
• Know Yourself - search until you find your authentic self and the unique contribution that only you can gift the world
• Envision Your Destiny -match your special talent to a need of the world
• Seek Counsel - grow through perspectives from others who either know you well and/or who care about what you're doing
• Venture Out - discover yourself through something that you create
• Hold Yourself Accountable - allow opportunities to edit, change and improve
• Pass It On - share what you've learned; especially with the generation that follows 

Question: What must I do to succeed as a citizen of the world while building material success?

Affirmation: I radiate luck wherever I go. I create the door to miracles. Source:
