| 004: Where are you going? Imagine your future as you hope it'll be. Can you get there on a "do it yourself" basis? If not, your challenge is to get the aid and support you need from those who can contribute to your success. Your best strategy over the long-haul is to understand where they want to go and help them get there. You do this by talking with them about what aid and support they need from you and being sure they get it. It may seem more expedient to charge full-speed-ahead and others be dammed; but your success is better served by helping others succeed along the high road. |

![]() Simon On Success
Simon says, "Let's get a couple of things out in the open so you can get them behind you. Yes, it is possible to strike it rich, to have an inspiration for an invention making you famous while it makes your fortune, and maybe even to have a sudden insight leading you to the right end of the rainbow, pot of gold and all."
Sure, some lucky ducks were born with silver spoons in their mouths. In life's great poker game, some people get better cards than others. It is enough to make you just sit down and cry.
Before you drown in your tears, though, remember your good friend Simon did say instant success is possible, if all you want is money, status, or a free ride. The odds are not in your favor but it might happen. Hanging your future on it is a bit risky; but a possibility is still a possibility. If instead, you would rather hang your future on something a little more substantial, Simon has a suggestion for your thoughtful consideration:
•Cultivate your success.
"Give me more credit than that, Simon," you say. "Like you, I didn't just come into town on a load of logs. I've been there too. I know success isn't going to just drop into my lap out of the blue. I have to work for it and am certainly willing to do whatever it takes; but where do I start? How do I cultivate success?"
