The Ladder of Success: One Powerful Idea That You Must Comprehend As An Entrepreneur

Here's an eye-opening truth about your success ladder that you're probably not fully conscious of... If you are like most entrepreneurs and success seekers in general, the drive and determination to become massively successful is abundantly overflowing.
Thank the heavens that we are now in the digital and information age where more resources on "how to" attain this, are being shared generously.
You've heard, seen and read the same scripted motivational lines of encouragement perhaps a million times by now and you've certainly invested in a good deal of systems, strategies and trainings on how to make this year your big success (assuming of course you are proactive with your wishes of becoming a big success).. These are all well and good, when placed in proper perspective because at the end of the day, manifesting success or the time and money freedom that you've set as goals for this year will require something more than strategy and extra hard work.
After all, if that's all it took - humanity should have already nailed the secrets to successful living.
Instead the opposite continues to permeate our world as we see more struggle, break-downs, burnouts and so on...
Therefore, - stop - blindly chasing after the desires you wish to realise in your life and business and start navigating your life on earth more deliberately and intelligently.
Hard work and effort may get you up the success ladder of the societal status quo but it will neither sustain you there indefinitely nor satisfy and fulfil the real hungers that posses your heart.
The success you're pursuing needs to be fulfilling the hunger in your heart as well as your head!
The best gift you will give yourself as an entrepreneur or success seeker of any kind is to realise that there is something bigger going here than just checking off goals on a list; there's something more impactful that you're moving toward as you grow your business and while it does include a happier wallet, more luxury and physical comforts - it is meant to accomplish a far greater and more impactful purpose than that.
What this means to an individual mind reading this now with an awakened perspective is that the ladder of success that you want to be aiming for needs to be: A ladder that you have created for yourself and one that requires much boldness, faith and integrity to climb.
Who's ladder of success are you climbing?
That kind of ladder will not be easily available to you in your outside world, and the collective consciousness will not seem too eager to help you build or climb that ladder - but that's the best part - and it's precisely what I desire you to take away from this page in contemplation!
I got to a point where I realised that since I didn't qualify for much of what society considers normal qualities of success, I knew the only way for me to climb out of the death-trap of victimhood was to make my own ladder of success.
To build and learn to climb my own ladder of success trusting that at the very least, I must have the right criteria for my own ladder of success. And that was the beginning of my freedom, passion, faith and fulfilment in life.
It would be many years before I connected the dots as Steve Jobs would say, and realised that every awesome individual who's worthy of praise and left an impact in some way in our world - was always an individual who was bold enough to build and climb a ladder of success that was up until then conspicuously absent!
So I don't know what you're plans are as an entrepreneur, I don't even know what kind of ladder you're trying to climb this year, but the one powerful idea I can share with you is that if you really do want time and money freedom to pour in and become sustainable, then I strongly encourage you to start being more bold with your dreams and desires.
Are you building and climbing your own ladder?
Build and climb your own ladder of success, not what you were told is right, not what's expected of you, not what experts suggest - what you've intelligently, individually and boldly chosen for yourself that you know is unique only to you..
It's not for everyone, I agree... But if you read this far, that tells us something already - wouldn't you agree?
With love..
Janette.
