Prescription for Success in the Healthcare Industry
Sometimes it takes a personal experience to bring what should be an obvious problem into focus. For Rick Goodman, that came as he evaluated his wife’s experience navigating the complex world of cancer treatment and helping him develop a better understanding of how the people that surrounded her care made a difference in helping her get better.
In the video, “Prescription for Success in the Healthcare Industry, Dr. Rick focuses on the human side of healthcare and discusses how he challenges healthcare organizations to inspire and train their people. He strives to help leaders in healthcare organizations recognize that everyone in the organization, not just the clinical professionals, can contribute to the positive outcome of their patients.
According to Dr. Rick, all healthcare professionals “have the power to help the patient or the power to make the patient feel helpless”. Dr. Rick brings focused training programs targeted at the healthcare industry that help organizations create a strong patient-focused culture.

The Alex Project - Laws of Success "The Golden Rule"
In
his final lesson in Law
of Success, Napolean
Hill discusses “the Golden Rule”, and how he believes it to be the driving
force in gaining success. “The Golden Rule” is defined as “the guiding star
that will enable you to profitably and constructively use the knowledge
assembled in the previous lessons".
To
put it simply, following this law is the only way to apply the power that the
preceding lessons provide. The universal
definition of “The Golden Rule” is to do unto others as you would wish them to
do unto you if your positions were reversed. This must be taken very seriously,
as Hill stresses the fact that all of your actions and thoughts will come back
to you, for better or worse. It is not enough to merely believe in the philosophy
of the Golden Rule, but rather one must apply it.
The
primary key to this lesson is that the Golden Rule, when understood and
applied, makes dishonesty, selfishness, greed, envy, hatred and malice
impossible to maintain. One must be blatantly honest, and realize you are only
punishing yourself by every wrong you commit, and rewarding yourself by every
act of constructive conduct.

The Alex Project - Laws of Success "Tolerance"
Lesson
fifteen in Napolean Hill’s Law
of Success discusses
the idea of tolerance. The chapter describes the destructive effects of
intolerance, which according to Hill, clouds the mind of the individual and
stops his moral, mental and spiritual development. Intolerance is a form of
ignorance that must be mastered, and if not acknowledged, will surely prevent
one from achieving the successes that they desire. In this brief lesson, Hill
makes sure to emphasize that regardless of the business one is engaged in,
cooperation and tolerance can be of tremendous help in achieving one's definite
chief aim.

The Alex Project - Laws of Success "Profiting by Failure"
The
fourteenth lesson in Napolean Hill’s Law
of Success is titled
“Profiting by Failure.” In the lesson, Hill gives the reader a different view
of the meaning behind the word “failure”. Normally a negative word, Hill
distinguishes failure from temporary defeat, and temporary defeat can at times
be a blessing in disguise. He then states that he is thankful for experiencing
so much defeat, since it had the effect of giving him the courage to attempt
things he would not have tried if his early life would have been easier. The
lesson flips the idea behind failure so drastically that by the end of the
lesson it appears as though failure isn’t a bad thing at all. The message that
can be taken after concluding with the lesson is simple. Ultimately, there is
no failure. What appears to be failure is usually a minor setback in disguise,
and you must always refuse to accept it as being permanent.

The Alex Project - Laws of Success "Concentration"
Two important laws enter into this principal, including both the Law of Autosuggestion and The Law of Habit. Hill states that habit grows out of environment, and out of doing and thinking the same things the same way, over and over again. Therefore, Hill reminds us of the importance of selecting our environment with great care. The habits that we develop can be both good and bad, but know that bad habits can always be turned into good ones. Habits are created by repetition, and the best way to break old bad habits is to replace them by forming new good ones.
Concentration is a person's ability to keep their mind focused on one subject until they have mastered it. Also, both the ability to control your attention and the ability to throw off bad habits and attain self-mastery are also included in the definition of concentration. These abilities are helped by constantly keeping your "Definite Chief Aim" in mind. Hill concludes the lesson by stating that concentration is a characteristic obtainable by all. It is possible for anyone to develop the ability to "tune in" and understand the thoughts of others through what he refers to as "the universal mind."

The Alex Project - The Laws of Success "Accurate Thinking"
According to author Napoleon Hill, the eleventh lesson in his proclaimed Law of Success is the most important, most interesting, and unfortunately the most difficult lesson to present to the reader. Accurate Thinking involves two paired ideas.
The first idea is separating fact from information, and the second is separating this fact into two classes. These classes are important and unimportant facts, or relevant and irrelevant facts.
Hill emphasizes the great importance of being able to make this distinction, because the accurate thinker will not believe anything he or she hears. Instead, he or she will arrive at a conclusion only after careful and thoughtful analysis.
The key to accurate thinking, according to Hill, is what he calls "creative thought", which allows us to tap into "infinite intelligence." The major step towards creative thought is autosuggestion, otherwise known as suggestions you make to yourself. The subconscious mind records the suggestions we send it, and invoke the aid of infinite intelligence to turn these suggestions into action.
The lesson concludes by reminding us that the subconscious mind accepts any and all suggestions, both constructive or destructive, and cautions us to be careful what we suggest. You must only suggest facts and no slander, for slander is poisonous to the subconscious mind and ruins this creative thought.

The Alex Project - Laws of Success "A Pleasing Personality"
The
tenth lesson in Napolean Hill’s Law
of Success reading
course discusses the importance of having a “pleasing personality”. Hill
defines this as "a personality that attracts", and proceeds to
explore the causes of this attraction.
One
of the most crucial ways to initiate this attraction is by taking
a genuine interest in other people. This is not arguing that for an average
salesman, cheap flattery will serve as this genuine interest. Rather, by
forming a relationship with a potential customer prior to the sale, the
attraction is initiated and results in a more comfortable environment for both
the salesman and his possible customer.
Hill concludes this lesson by
discussing character, and ways to implement his formula that will result in
this character being built up. He suggests that first, imagine those people who
have the type of character you wish to possess, and then proceed to take on
those qualities through self-suggestion. Create in your imagination a meeting
with them, and then write out a detailed statement of the qualities you wish to
assume from them. It is important to note that it is vital to the process that
you actually see these figures seated around an imaginary table. Then, keep
your thoughts focused in a positive manner as you listen to their advice and
guidance, while keeping in mind the kind of person you would like to be. Also,
make it a point to never forget to give praise to the genuine good qualities
you see in others. Hill promises the reader that this will bring the law of
attraction into play almost magically.
