Multiple Levels of Success

At birth we have is the ability to gain graciousness from others. At most a parent or guardian places us in strollers so people acknowledge they are raising a baby. The boss understands a person raising a child needs job stability or a promotion.

Toddlers barely speak and walk, though lacking any functional behavior, proud of kids exhibiting intelligence or athleticism. Cheers turn to jeers when children appear to be developing slowly. Odd to think a four year old lost their job. Cunning parents shift to martyrdom winning kudos as they continue to help their child who will peak at minimum wage.

As early as five children begin to actively engage situations by doing bad things for attention; excelling through competition or acknowledging defeat. In a few short years they can directly contribute to the family in the form of labor.

Eight years old is a good time to start doing chores. Of course, spelling bee champions need time to review spelling lists and briefly escape chores while the other kids vacuum, dust or clean off kitchen counters.

Almost an adult at age twelve, with previous experience in safe chores it is time to broaden horizons to self-maintenance. This is mutually beneficial because they may learn life skills like changing the oil filter. Parents divide responsibilities amongst the kids. Now parents have free-time for other pursuits.

Teens are difficult to deal with because they begin figuring out they are working for someone else. Making dinner and doing odd jobs around the house benefit their parents. If they inherit, this is fine. If they will not gain anything from doing work, it is all helping someone else make money. Hopefully parents recognize the difference.

Preparing to live on their own teens consider their options. They might want a job from someone who pays with money. Plans to leave saves time related to friction when parents experience empty nest syndrome or realize the child is actually contributing a lot to the family. When children leave they have to take care of themselves again.

The transition from teen to adulthood is thorny. They must develop the means to pay for everything, including: food, housing and toilet paper. This is a massive job and often seems as though forces of nature are working against the person.

As an adult, it is impossible to blame the parent or guardian for personal issues. As a teen, it already became apparent as a different person with different values it is time to throw off the yolk. This involves blame. Adults blaming guardians look immature. If you don't like something, change it. They are no longer your keeper. The entirety of the concept is difficult to embrace. As an adult people must figure out how to take care of themselves, stabilize successes through experimentation and then take care of other people. How does this all happen?

Traditionally people find work, get paid, get married and start a family. People in business have a broader spectrum of responsibility to people. They need resources to sustain business activities. This site addresses several methods of obtaining a flourishing business.

I will develop a dreamlike scenario to explain various levels of success. A person identifies their goals. They spend endless hours working gaining interest from potential customers and allies. After gaining attention and consumers they research options.

Big breaks do not happen because of luck. Even the woman who became a celebrity from being discovered in an ice cream shop was in the ice cream shop next to a movie studio. She probably wore nice cloth, got her hair done and maintained her figure though the goal might have been a marriage.

With a goal in mind and working towards the goal, a person is ready to reap benefits of their work when an opportunity presents itself. This opportunity builds on past training, upkeep, development and friends. Some reach this point and the opportunity becomes a burden as they were not able to perform at an acceptable level. Never giving up, experience motivates or destroys the person.

Eventually they are successful. They have broken barriers, sold a million trinkets, secured a major contract or landed a leading role. This results in money to buy a home and pay off debt. They have surpassed peers and might not have to work. They buy commercial property for lease generating monthly cash flow to pay taxes and other amenities. A large sum of money is placed in an investment fund so their money makes money.

A person with vision is not content with the easy life. Now they must get another high paying job and buy another commercial property to lease. Even if still on mortgage it pays for itself. They increase the value of property with upgrades and when it is paid off they create a town in their own name by buying inexpensive development land. After selling off every condo and house they make a huge profit, yet fail to change the world.

Unfortunately, money is different than power; power is different than charisma; charisma is different than power, and power is different than money. That is why it is important to remember the goal. Luckily, this person made a lot of money so it is easier to give money to charities, help out friends, offer advice or opportunities and change the world.

Planning is always the first stage of any project because it saves time and money. Going back and having to do it all over again is a consuming process.
