FEATURE ARTICLE: Is Ego essential to Success?
=======================================
In researching successful people, one trait kept re-occurring: BIG EGO.
If you visit the website, you will see Mark Victor Hansen (co-author of
Chicken Soup for the Soul) standing next to me, Bart Baggett.
Mark’s handwriting is analyzed in this edition. Now, are these two men
‘bad’ for having the ego to write a book or two? I think Mark is a kind
appreciative man that knows his worth and has ‘no limits’ to his thinking.
In this case, his ego is a GREAT asset. See writing samples of

‘Bart reveals the prosperity secrets only a few really understand.
This is a powerful, accurate and comprehensive guide for building wealth
in your life. Read it. Live it.’

========= NBA STARS AND ENTREPRENEURS =========
Have you been told you have a large ego?
Did people try to convince you ego was bad?
You may be surprised by my conclusions about ego.
I recently gave a 45-minute lecture to the Dallas Chapter of YEO
(Young Entrepreneurs Organization.) YEO is one of the most selective and
prestigious clubs in the world. Each member must be a business owner, under
age 40, and their company must gross over 1 million per year to become a member.
So, in lecturing to this audience, I did some extra homework on ‘high achievers.’
In the audience, ‘all’ of the men had one thing in common: large first letters in their name
and most of their signatures were sloppy, illegible and written with great speed.
The women business owners actually had less predictable traits and a less obvious
‘ego-maniacal’ way about them. I suppose that is the beauty of being able to balance
one’s female and masculine energy in business. As part of my research, I discovered a
new employment screening technique called ‘Life-Themes’ which essentially looks for
significant ‘patterns’ in an applicant’s life. These patterns or ‘themes’ can be used to accurately
determine the probability of success. 85% of the draft level incoming NBA players who ranked
high in the BIG EGO and ‘Need to be Famous’ personality categories were still in the league
five years later. Only 5% of the players that did not have BIG EGO were in the league five years later. ‘
— Fast Company Magazine
This is no different that what a very talented professional handwriting analyst does on a regular basis.
Any trained monkey can spot individual traits in the handwriting (just given the Grapho-Deck Handwriting Flash Cards.) What separates an amateur from a $300 per hour professional is
The ability to see ‘patterns’ of behavior and in turn, apply those patterns of personality, beliefs,
fears, and values to the job in question. According to the above featured article, the basketball team,
‘Cleveland Cavaliers’ used ‘Life-Themes’ to improve their DRAFT choices in the early 1990’s.
The results were impressive.
The researchers determined there were 3 key ‘themes’ that a successful player
must have to succeed in the NBA.
1. ‘Court awareness’ – the ability to see where everyone is on the court and
intuitively knows where they are going.
2. ‘Ability to tolerate pain’ – Pain is part of the game. Can they play while hurt?
3. ‘Huge Ego’ – Yep, the successful players had a huge ego and a need to be famous
BEFORE arriving into the NBA. They didn’t get egomaniacal after becoming famous.
It was the BIG EGO that propelled them there!
So, from a handwriting analyst perspective, I could assist with spotting those with large egos.
But, I don’t know if there are predictable graphological patterns that would assist with criteria
#1 or #2. Many people perceive the word ‘EGO ‘ as negative or insulting. A healthy ego is an
important piece of a good self-esteem. You may find someone with t-bars at the top of the stem,
but if they have a tiny underdeveloped personal pronoun ‘I’ and a weak signature, the person
may be ambitious but lacks the ‘confidence and sense of certainty’ to really achieve. They may
achieve, but not to the level of a similar person with a healthy ‘I’ and large signature. Take a
look at these two best selling author’s signatures.

======= Back to Chicken Soup =========
Mark Victor Hansen is co-author of the best selling book series of the 1990’s – Chicken Soup
for the Soul. Robert Allen is also one of the most respected authors on real estate investment
and has a new book called ‘Multiple Streams of Income’. Both are very successful. When I told
them they were both big ‘ego-maniacs,’ they laughed… and agreed. It takes ego to put your name
on a book and sell 63 million copies. Both guys are great. In this case, the ego isn’t a bad thing.
It may be difficult to see how large Mark’s signature really is… but the writing is much larger than
a quarter in height. Remember – the ego, self-esteem, and pride are different personality traits that
all feed off of each other. Keep them separate in your mind and you will know why I believe ego is healthy, self-esteem is essential, and too much pride or vanity is a pain in the bum. (Ego) Size of the
first letter in the signature (Self-esteem) The location of the t-bar crossed on the lower case ‘t’ stem.
(Vanity) Extra tall and slender d or t stems 4 times the height of the middle zone. Oh, Mark Victor
Hansen recently endorsed my latest book. If he liked it, I think you will, too. ‘Success Secrets of the
Rich & Happy’ It hasn’t sold 63 million copies yet… but it has changed the life of many people already. See Mark and Robert’s handwriting samples here: http://myhandwriting.com/newsletters/egomvh.html
Don’t be afraid to sign your name with some ‘splash!’ One line under the signature is a tendency
for leadership and self-reliance. Two underlines is a need for recognition.
Keep it all in proportion.
