"It is wise to keep in mind that no success or failure is necessarily final."

I observe that more appear to believe that true about failure than do about success, particularly in the US.
"If at first you don't succeed . . .", "Never give up" and all that, tends to make us a nation of risk takers.
When it comes to business, we understand the inherently high failure rate, but keep trying nonetheless.
But success?
Far more seem to think that once you've "made it" you always will.
Do you?

I've never "made it" if by that you mean FU money but since you ask, I assume that if I did I would be able to keep it.
ReplyDeleteOk, well what about success in your business whether or not you own it?
ReplyDeleteIs success today, a guarantee you will be successful tomorrow?
No it's not a guarantee. There are too many rags to riches to rags stories out there for it it be true.
ReplyDeleteIn many respects, staying successful is more difficult than becoming successful and that is certainly the case in business. Individual wealth can be preserved by investing conservatively but in of itself, being conservative in business decisions does not always work.
