The Three A’s of Success: Availability, Articulance, and Adaptability (stay on the right road with AAA.)

Let’s talk about success. Not the vague, motivational-poster kind where someone is standing on top of a mountain looking inspirationally into the distance, but the kind that actually gets you results. And just like when you need a tow truck at 2 AM, success comes down to three A’s: Availability, Articulance, Adaptability. 

Availability: Be There or Be Nowhere

Ever tried calling a tow truck in the middle of nowhere, only to get voicemail? Frustrating, right? Well, success works the same way. If you’re not showing up—whether it’s for your clients, your team, or your own goals—you’re basically leaving your success stranded on the side of the road.

Example: Let’s say you want to start a side hustle. You can’t just dream about it and hope a business magically appears. You’ve got to be available—put in the hours, take the meetings, and actually do the work. Be the tow truck that actually shows up when needed.

Articulance: Speak Like You Mean It

Yes, articulance is a word. (Okay, maybe not, but it should be.) Success isn’t just about having great ideas—it’s about being able to communicate them. Whether you’re pitching investors, leading a team, or trying to convince your friend that pineapple does belong on pizza, your ability to articulate your thoughts can make or break the outcome.

Example: Imagine you’re at a networking event. Someone asks what you do, and you mumble something about “business stuff.” That’s a one-way ticket to Forgettable-ville. Now, imagine confidently explaining how your business helps people and why it’s valuable. Boom—connections, opportunities, and a higher chance of success.

Adaptability: Roll with the Punches

Success isn’t just about showing up; it’s about adjusting to the curves in the road. If you can’t pivot when challenges arise, you’ll find yourself stuck in a ditch. Being adaptable means embracing change, learning new skills, and staying ahead of the competition.. Too many people show up strong but disappear faster than free snacks at a conference. Consistency is the key to staying on the road to success.

Example: Remember Blockbuster? Neither do your kids. Meanwhile, Netflix adapted, evolved, and became a streaming powerhouse. Success favors those who can shift gears and navigate change without slamming on the brakes.. They didn’t just pop up once and disappear—they kept showing up, engaging, and delivering value. If you want to be successful, you have to do the same. You can’t just drop in when it’s convenient—you have to be available day in, day out.

The Road to Success (Without the Flat Tires)

So, what’s the lesson here? Success isn’t a one-time event—it’s a road trip. And if you want to reach your destination, you need:

• Availability (Show up.)

• Articulance (Speak up.)

• Adaptability (Pivot when needed.)

Put these into practice, and you’ll find yourself cruising toward success with the confidence of someone who definitely renewed their roadside assistance.

Now, buckle up and get going. Success is waiting.
