The Dangers of Success (Or How to Pick the Right Opportunities) November 2, 2018 || Early to Rise By Mark Ford If you’re smart, hardworking and persistent, you’ve got what it takes to be successful at any career you choose. But as you climb the ladder, you’re likely to face a problem they don’t talk about in business schools: too many attractive opportunities. For 90+% of the population, this is a problem that will never arise. But you… you are in the top 10%. And the farther you travel down the road of success, the more opportunities will come your way. I’ve heard this complaint from good people I’ve mentored for years. Just recently, GR, an up-and-coming copywriter, put it this way: "As one becomes successful, it seems more and more opportunities present themselves. It’s tempting to want to go after every single one of them." So how do you spot the opportunities that are right for you? How do you decide which ones to say “no” to and which ones to place your bets on? How can you determine, definitively what opportunities are the BEST choice for your life right now? Well... That's exactly what my mentor Mark Ford decided to answer in today's essay. Check it out and let me know what you think! To Your Success, Craig |
