Topic: Action networks = success
We all crave success. But how do we design it, set up for it, and ultimately measure it? Those who have the most success in life rely on luck in all three aspects of its realisation. Is there a better way?
Most people do not need a better way because they are happy to have the type of success that their peers enjoy. They copy, comply, and fit in so that their successes are noted but are not out of the normal order of things. "Keeping up with the Joneses" describes what I think most people accept as success.
Success on our own terms is for most of us an anti-social act. It is therefore not going to be as common as we would like it to be. Everyone craves it but few understand that to gain it in their own right they have to become 'outsiders' to the world that gives them comfort.
For most people success is limited by their social relationships. It is determined by the mob they hang with. This is probably true for most individuals, countries, communities, companies, and governments.
