SIGNPOSTS TO SUCCESS
John Fitzgerald wrote Untold Wealth: Success
from Scratch some years ago to answer some
of the questions asked by readers of book Seven Steps
to Wealth. It covered the 'Big Picture' of goals and
values, motivation and personality, strategies and skills
- as well as working systematically through the nuts
and bolts of wealth building through property investment
in Australia.
Again, many people wrote to say that the workbook had
successfully kick-started a programme of capital-growth-focused
investment. But others wrote, or emailed, or called,
to talk about this strange thing called 'success' itself.
Do you know what the most common question was?
How can we set goals, when we don't really
know what we want?
Signposts to Success is designed to sharpen your sense
of direction. To get you past wishing and into focused
action. To get you through barriers: the ones the world
throws at you - and the ones you build yourself. To
set you up for success - whatever that means for you.
Signposts to Success doesn't focus on any particular
investment vehicle or business model. Its focus is on
the personal and interpersonal skills and strategies
that underpin any successful performance. Maybe you're
looking to start an investment programme, or your own
business. Maybe you're already in the thick of it -
and struggling to keep your head above water. Maybe
you're not doing anything right now... Signposts to
Success may be for you.
What is success?
Money, power, fame... These things can represent the
rewards of successful people's achievements –
but if you asked them, they'd say that it's actually
the achieving that defines them – and defines
their success.
We often confuse 'success' with its rewards. But that's
confusing the process with the product, or the journey
with the destination.
Different people, in different places and ages, have
attached different meanings to the concept of 'success',
but one of the key ones must be: being happy. What's
the point of 'being successful' or 'gaining success'
– if it doesn't make you happy?
'Success' can't just be a one-off destination. It can't
just be about the rewards. Otherwise, we'd never have
it, or be sure we had it, or hold on to it for long...
