Govindh Jayaraman is an entrepreneur, successful businessman, and the author of the Paper Napkin Wisdom, leading to many individuals calling him the Napoleon Hill of our time.

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward. you can only connect them looking back, so you just have to trust that somehow the dot will connect in the future”~Steve Jobs

Key Points

1. The Five Guidelines 

1. To Do Amazing Things You Have to Have Laser Focus and Discipline

What Govindh discovered after interviewing hundreds of successful entrepreneurs, is that one of their greatest assets is that they were highly focused and disciplined.

They weren’t off multitasking and trying to accomplish a million things at once or trying to watch TV while they wrote their product’s copy, they were focused solely on the task at hand and disciplined in working until it was accomplished.

2. There is no Such Thing as Priorities just a Priority 

The second of the five guidelines that Govindh discovered is that highly successful individuals, always had one priority. They didn’t use pareto’s 80/20 principle, they used the 99/1 principle.

They found the one thing that was the most vital to their business and worked tirelessly until it was accomplished it, and then they moved on.

3. When you Change the Way you Look at the World the World you Look at Changes 

The third discovery Govindh made is that all successful people invested heavily in changing their mindset and the way they looked at the world until they saw a world that was full of abundance and opportunity instead of a world full of challenge or a world that was too difficult to succeed within.

4. Simplify

The fourth principle Govindh discovered is that all great businesses understand the importance of simplicity. They do not needlessly complicate their operations or their mission.

While there may be aspects of the business that are complicated, the overall mission was simple and straightforward, normally to solve a certain problem in the most efficient way possible.

5. The Pen is Mightier than the Sword but Accountability is Mightier than All 

The final principle that Govindh discovered is that all great achievers had a high level of accountability with other high achievers.

They volunteered themselves to stay accountable to people whom they respected and didn’t want to disappoint. By doing this they almost guaranteed that their levels of success would be multiplied instantaneously.

2. You Have to Design Your Path 

After you have mastered the 5 principles, it is time to design your path, to gain absolute clarity on who you are and where you want your life to end up.

You have to create a road map that you can come back to when you think you are getting lost or when you feel your momentum slipping. Having absolute clarity on where you are headed will allow you to take control of your life in a way few other things will.

3. Create a Playbook

Once you have your vision designed, it is time to create your playbook, or your how for accomplishment.

What do you need to do, who do you need to connect with, what steps must be taken to achieve your goals? Develop a very intentional action plan that will allow you to understand exactly how to get from where you are to where you want to be.

4. Get Your Key Players

Once you have your principles mastered, clarity on your vision, and an action plan, it is time to surround yourself with other high achievers who can help you to achieve your goals with ease.

Find people that you respect who are on a higher level than you that will benefit you as a man and your business. While it may be difficult to find and attract these people, by being on purpose and on fire for your passion these individuals will start coming into your life naturally.

5. Be the Heart of the Team

The final step to ultimate success is to become the heart of the team, be on fire, be passionate about what you are doing and understand that once you make a definite decision to do anything, your one “yes” will be accompanied by a thousand “nos”

If you decide to get healthy, you will have to say no to junk food, laziness, lack luster sleep, cigarettes, and excessive alcohol.

If you decide to get rich you will have to say no to procrastination, lack of productivity, and bad work habits.

You have to lead others and be the heart of the team, and this starts by learning to say no.
