You are, or become, what you think!
On the 12th August I published a Post about the Law of Attraction.
Let me turn to succeeding – from a entrepreneurial point of view, but equally applicable for whatever is important to you.
In business, simply knowing about the basics in a little detail is not enough to achieve any degree of success.
Actually you need to have a deep understanding of what you are about to embark upon to ensure that you place yourself correctly in the market and sell to people who actually want your product.
The success therefore is in the detail. As is said, the devil is in the detail.
It will take you time to gain this understanding and, in most instances, will cost you money, but if you lack the belief that you will achieve your goals, you will not have the enthusiasm to learn and we learn most from our mistakes. To use a cliché again, you can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs.
Perversely, if you have a very positive attitude without any desire to learn, you have even less chance of success.
The answer therefore has to be somewhere in-between. It’s a fine balance and reaching it can be a challenge in itself.
It would be safe to say that most don’t ever achieve it.
A clear goal is critical in the process. Having a clear goal helps you plan what you need to do to achieve that goal and lets you know when you have achieved it!
As is said, the only benefit of not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise!
Success therefore is a Mindset, but what exactly should your Mindset be?

As the planetary biosphere and climate croaks under the weight of 7 billion people, including one billion who lead the high life, and a few millions rendered hysterically greedy by nihilistic hubris, the question is: WHAT OUGHT SUCCESS TO BE?

Ah, easier to ask the question than to answer it!
The entrepreneur in me would be tempted to say, whatever the market wants. But, perhaps, the ‘system’ that is life on this planet is a self-healing one. In the end ‘success’ will be what it will be. Planet Earth will go on orbiting around the Sun for a very long time.
I grew up reading the books of Arthur Ransome, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swallows_and_Amazons_(series)
In one of them, the first I think, there is a piece about duffers (fools) that goes something like, “If duffers don’t learn, then duffers drown and we are all better off without duffers.”
