Shane Radbone Shares His Secrets to Having a Winning Attitude

Success is something that Shane Radbone (CEO) is greatly acquainted with even in the earliest days of his career. In 1996, he received the Australia Day Business Award, and several years after he also received the Young Leader of the Year Award. 2006 also saw Shane Radbone (7-Eleven COO) receiving the prestigious KPMG Advise Bank National Award.

All these awards only prove one thing, and it's that Radbone knows how to succeed. This time, you have the opportunity to enjoy the same kind of success in your personal or career life as long as you take Radbone's advice below.

Always believe that you can do it.

Don't be the type of person who tries to drag everyone down with him with a pessimistic perspective. There is absolutely nothing to gain and a lot to lose by making everyone feel as miserable or as hopeless as you do. On the other hand, you could very well prove to be the key to achieving important company goals if you have a strong drive and a constantly positive view of things.

Believe in what you're doing

Of course, believing in yourself is just the start. If you want to succeed, then you must also believe in your work. You have to feel that your work matters and is able to contribute something important to the whole scheme of things. If it doesn't, then you have to take the initiative to make sure that it does. Don't wait for people to make things better for you. Do it yourself.

That his present success is due to his life experiences, both good and bad, is an important lesson for Shane Radbone. Allied Brands, Wendy's and VIP Home Services are some of the companies he was involved with in the past. He made good and bad moves for all those companies and he learned from both. Ultimately, that's another key factor for success: the willingness to learn and appreciate the good and bad things in your life.
