Success seems to be one of the words in business that never goes out of style. It permeates every culture, every language, and every business segment, regardless of the type of work that you do.
Success is talked about in workshops and conferences as if every person will get there. “Just try harder, or do this new fangled approach” is disseminated frequently to all who are willing to listen.
Success is even talked about at the water cooler and coffee machines at work. Success is researched in university business schools and laboratories, but there never seems to be a concrete answer or algorithm that is the perfect answer for achieving it.
Success is well documented and published. According to Google there are 168,000,000 “success authors.” Additionally, as I type in the word “Success,” 334,000,000 results show up in 0.24 seconds. Why is It success always appears to be right around the corner, just far enough away to tease us into thinking we are close, yet in reality, could be light years away or never get there at all?
As I read blog posts, social media threads, magazine articles and features on businesses, success almost always seems to be the underlying message that wants to come out, regardless of the storyline. In some ways it seduces us all to think that we all deserve it and should get it.
Success is such a powerful and all encompassing word it can stand alone without any qualifiers,and everyone that hears it, fully understands it, however, they just aren’t quite sure now to get it.
