Success has requirements.
All models of success that can be
replicated and are not just one off events, or luck, have
tacit, as well as explicit success requirements.
There requirements can be drawings,
patents, lists of actions, processes, the way to make a great
hamburger and shake, a la the MacDonald Brothers, or the
recipie for grandma's favorite pie-->although she may not have
written it down.
It dawned on me a number of years
ago, that any model of success had very specific steps and
requirements, for quantity and quality, as well as a customer
who wanted to purchase whatever it was at a price that
generated enough money to keep the system going, and often
created a profit with which to reward the proprietor.
Not all success models are
businesses.
Almost anything that is part of a
necessary process has requirements.
Reconciling your checkbook,
brushing your teeth and even... Washing your hands.
The key is NOT to confuse a set of
success requirements with a happiness model. In almost all
cases, happiness and success requirements differ, in all but
the few, those 1-5%, who have happiness and success are
natural attributes, or the way they are is the way they need
to be.
Once you realize that Happiness
Is Natural, and success requirements exist, and
there will be a design gap or space between them
producing tension, you can begin to scaffold that space
and those differences, and make, live, work, and relationships
fun, and full of FLOW.
