When you climb the ladder of success be sure it is leaning against the right building or against something at least.

Good options would be: building blocks for success, strong values, effective processes, people, mentors, customer relationships and past successes but place your ladder something solid, like a wall.

One of the common denominators to achieving success is discipline. Self-discipline is like a muscle. The more you train it, the stronger you become.

To reach the top of the ladder we will need to discipline our thoughts, conquer our emotions and train our mind to stay focused.
