What is the secret of success?

Why is it that one child grows up to become just an ordinary, ho-hum, middle-of-the-pack, blah of a person such as — no offense — you; while another child grows up to become a Theodore Roosevelt, a Mother Teresa, a Donald Trump, an Attila the Hun

Is it luck? Is it genes? Is it upbringing? Did Mr. and Mrs. Hun teach young Attila some secret lesson that put him on the path to becoming No. 1?

Or is success something that any of us can achieve, even later in life, if we’re willing to work hard, use our imaginations, learn from our mistakes, keep a positive mental attitude and — above all — pay money for a seminar?

That’s what I decided to find out after seeing a full-page ad in The Miami Herald announcing Peter Lowe’s SUCCESS 1997, an all-day event that, according to the ad, would reveal “the latest strategies for business and personal success” not to mention “fuel your life to new highs.” There were testimonials from satisfied seminar-goers, including one who said: “You get a whole new fervor for doing business and networking with clients.”

This struck a chord in me, because I have never had any level of fervor for doing business or networking with clients. When I was a boy, my parents had to buy all my Little League candy from me, because I was too shy to sell it door-to-door. As an adult, the only networking I ever do is when somebody at The Miami Herald tells me a joke; I immediately get on the phone and relay it to my friend Gene Weingarten at The Washington Post, who then tells me that he already heard it.

So I figured Peter Lowe’s SUCCESS 1997 might do me some good. The ad said:

“Winners concentrate on winning. Losers concentrate on getting by. You may be able to get by if you don’t come to Peter Lowe’s SUCCESS 1997, but don’t you want to be there with the winners?”

Personal life growth is a process of the life growth of others and individual life growth. As an individual, the focus is on personal goals, plans and actions aimed at these objectives:

• Establishing clear identity and discovering potential

• Discovering strengths and talents and developing them

• Establishing goals related to life growth plans and executing them

• Establishing vocation and market desirability

• Improving quality of life and desired lifestyle

• Fulfilling life purpose and personal desires

No man or woman is an island and our personal success in life is directly tied to our involvement in the life growth of other’s. Here on Life Growth Strategies we focus on both aspects – individual life growth or development and also the life growth and development of others.
