There is nothing like an old fashioned scavenger hunt.  I remember a couple of years ago I was in San Jose, California working with a group of college students for the Monster Diversity Leadership Program and we participated in a scavenger hunt through the hills of UC-Berkeley’s campus.

            As a child, scavenger hunts were always exciting- especially the Easter Egg Hunt.  At my childhood church, we often had one white egg and that was the one that won the finder some cash!  Oh, how I use to search for that white egg.

            Fast forward a few years and I have learned that life is a scavenger hunt.  There a lots of things to search out and find… new restaurants, new careers, new places of worship, new hobbies, and even a new YOU.

            I have often heard the phrase, “Success Leaves Clues.”  I am not sure who originally said it as some sources attribute it to Jim Rohn and others Tony Robbins.  Regardless of the originator, the phrase is a very powerful statement on how to advance our lives in many areas.

            For example, if you want to establish a successful restaurant, it makes sense to find a successful restaurant and model their steps- not steal their ideas or their unique brand.  (That’s the topic of a whole different blog!)

            To build a successful business, no matter the industry, watching, learning, modeling, and synthesizing strategies and approaches so that they work for YOU is key.

            This also applies to any area of your life.

            If success truly does leave clues, what have you found?  What are you overlooking?  And are you even in the game?  How many pieces of the puzzle will it take to build your version of success for you?
