Attitudes to Success

Attitudes to Success.

For each of us, how successful we feel will depend upon our attitude toward success. Similarly, our motivation to achieve will be determined largely by our attitude. Equally the amount of success we achieve and the amount of success we do not achieve, will be determined in large parts by our attitude to success.

Our attitude to success is part of our Success Intelligence. Recognising our attitudes and changing them can often be a way of achieving greater success. Recognising and understanding our attitudes toward success is a way of improving our Success Intelligence. It is also a way of helping to overcome some of the 'blocks' that inhibit our path to success.

Your Attitude to Success

You selected;

Success always has its price. There is no such thing as a free lunch and success can only be achieved by successful negotiation or dealing.

This suggests that you believe you have to negotiate your way to success and that you are only able to achieve success if you can meet the price or negotiate a deal. If you cannot pay the price or you cannot negotiate a deal in your favour then you will not achieve the success you seek.

For you, success can mean 'getting one over' someone else or doing a deal that favours you without letting the other person realise he has been 'duped'.

You do not believe in 'gifts', favours or even in luck. Success always has a price, - a gift is something you have to pay back eventually, a favour means that you owe someone a favour in return, as for 'luck' well that usually runs out in the end.

I first came across the concept of Success Intelligence in the book of the same name by Robert Holden.

This is an easy to read book that outlines his concept of Success Intelligence and its various aspects.

If you are interested in this area or in success generally, then I can recommend you to read this book.
