Welcome to Day 39 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom.

The Secret Sauce of Success – Part 2

Thank you for joining us for our 7 day a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 39 of our Trek. Yesterday and today we are looking at the 20 ingredients that make up the secret sauce that will make you successful.  Just like secret sauces being applied to a good BBQ or steak, the ingredients that make up the Wisdom-Trek Secret Sauce should be applied to both our personal and business lives to help make us successful. We need these ingredients to permeate our very essences so that it brings out the best in everything that we do.

If you missed yesterday’s podcast or journal, make sure you listen to it or read the journal so you will learn what the first 10 ingredients are.  As mentioned yesterday, apply these ingredients and then be authentic, be transparent, and be the person that you would like to see in others.

Today we are recording our podcast from our studio at Home2 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The workload continues to be very brisk as we are helping to ramp up a new construction project in Mesa, Arizona, along with a heavy workload with our other clients.  Life is never boring, and daily we must remind ourselves to enjoy every step of the journey.  That is what makes life worth living.

After mixing the first 10 ingredients into our secret sauce yesterday, today we will finish by adding the remaining 10 ingredients. The sauce is already starting to taste really awesome, and if we apply this sauce to our lives when we are finished, we will radiate success in every area.

Well, it’s time to break camp and look for the remaining 10 ingredients as we head on out on our Trek for today. The core ingredients we are using were adapted from ideas shared by Dan Walschmidt, author of the book Edgy Conversations.  I have modified this list and added my own years of experience and wisdom to these items.  Today we will mix in the remaining 10 ingredients that make our Secret Sauce for Success.
