D.D.R.S. - A Framework For Attaining Massive Success

BiggerPockets community, greetings!

Keeping with my earlier posts relating to frameworks, today I share a framework I give to my college students to up them see how they can grow way beyond their initial job, after graduating from college.

This simple framework is responsible for growing small Mom & Pop businesses into a mult-location business or small garage startup businesses into huge multi-national corporations. These four (4) little letters are only limited by the individuals implementing them.

To achieve success, the success itself and the processes needed to attain the success must be defined. When something is definable, it means it can be written down. When a goal to succeed is written down, the probability of the success goes up significantly. Also, when a process is written down, the efforts of many can be spread across all of the required tasks to reach a goal.

Simplicity out of complexity, an axiom held by Einstein. Albert Einstein, when asked how he simplified all of the complex math to produce such a simply formula for the theory of relativity, he would say just break things into understandable chunks  and fully understand them. You cannot just know something, you must have a deep understanding of that thing too. So, I submit to you that a deep understanding coupled with action has the potential of yielding massive benefits.

At this stage, the evidence of potential success starts to show itself. The aspect of repeatability suggest that an underlying system and/or process exists and can be used over and over again. The repeated use of a system helps to eliminate or significant minimize errors or missteps. This is important in a business environment, because an error prone environment or multiple missteps can seriously effect creditability and stymie your potential for success. A consistent output is more desirable than a lucky win.

This part of the framework is what dictates if the two or three location hamburger business run by two brothers or the Stanford University graduate students build an application to monetize the Internet into juggernaut multi-national corporations or stay small and possibly not even exist at all. Scalability implies you have mastered, defined, and implemented a process or procedure so well, others can replicate the things you have done numerous times, with success. Because of the multiple successes and having an easy to follow system, a business can plug others into the process that ultimately yields the desired results.

Success can be achieved by following what other successful people have done. Success is a decision away, coupled with consistent and purpose-driven actions.
