Success is a combination of many factors that have to fall into place in perfect timing for them to work at their maximum potential; we were all created to succede if we pursue our given paths. Several key factors are, your starting point, your personality, your education, your work ethic, your “demographic”, and your location. If you get the perfect combination of factors then you will find some degree of success, but it is not all up to chance. The degree of success you achieve will depend on how the factors line up and how hard you are willing to work on lining them up.
These factors can be grouped into two main categories; static, and dynamic. Static factors cannot be changed but can be overcome and they set the foundation for building on the dynamic factors. Static factors include your starting point and your demographic; they can also include other physical or social factors that play into success. Dynamic factors are the building blocks that form success after the foundation is set; they can make or break any idea no matter ho perfect it may be. No matter where a person starts with their static factors, they have the ability and calling to succeed.
STATIC FACTORS:
Many people across the globe find that the most difficult hurdle to jump is the first one; the one that you find in front of you before you begin a single task. We live in a time of political correctness and race equality, however there is still prejudice in every around every corner The color of your skin or your sex is not the only factor that may have an impact on your future success. Studies suggest that tall people are more successful than their shorter counterparts; if you are missing a limb or a digit, that could be a factor that changes your starting point. Unfortunately the world does not judge us equally and we have to overcome our social status by working through the factors that we can change; our dynamic factors.
Demographic means: “a specific segment of a population having shared characteristics” (demographic ) Most of us were not born wealthy or into a family that was part of the most accepted religion, race or economic status, but we were raised in a place where we where accepted. Even though a person might be accepted in their micro environment, they might not be acceptable to the business community. There was a time that being born female meant that your path was already carved out for you; there were social expectations that limited the path to success. The color of your skin might help you in one community or career path, but my hinder you in another. Your Static position is the type of variable that can be best utilized by focusing on acceptability and balancing the amount of effort needed to elevate dynamic factors in your life to achieve you success goals.
Sometimes your path is defined by physical differences, injuries or imperfections. Each society has a picture of success and those following that patth find much less resistance if they match the social image expectation. (http://www.businessinsider.com/tall-people-are-richer-and-successful-2015-9 ) I am sad to say (because I am a 5′ 7″ male) that tall people are more successful than short people, and this is not the only trait that predicts your static foundation to success. Many people have missing limbs or deformities that make it very hard to get the right kind of attention. Even though we all start at a different place, there is still very good news for everyone; you can overcome your static dispensation, and you do not have to abandon it.
DYNAMIC FACTORS: (The great equalizer)
There is hope regardless of your starting place; the great equalizing factors are the dynamic factors and how willing you are to utilize the part of the equation that you have control over.
“The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.”
– Thomas A. Edison
Your personality, your education, and your work ethic may have the greatest impact on your path to success. Your personality can be broken down into many facets starting with first impressions. You must perspire confidence and cloak it in humility. This is a natural thing but can be learned; most commonly it comes with your upbringing. Many people can be off putting if they are overly eager or if they hide in the corner away from attention. Finding the perfect balance of communicating and leaving a lasting impression that gives just enough intrigue to hold a place in a persons mind without overwhelming them is an art and talent. If you are not engaging, be knowledgeable and humble; if the personalty sparks don’t fly, just be the wisest person in the room, even if that means being quiet.
Along with your first impression, you need to have common sense. While education can open doors and give you knowledge, you need to posses the special gift of problem solving. Some people are given the gift of knowledge but cannot solve a common problem; other people find themselves mediocre in education but can solve complicated real word problems through experience. The key is knowing who you are and focusing on your strengths. Many entrepreneurs are problem solvers who hire intelligent people to work out the details; they could never succeed in a field that requires higher knowledge and focus. Set your strategy of success on the right path based on your personality and back that up with the right kind of education and experience.
Education has many purposes and can serve to prepare you for your career or catapult you into fellowship with the peers that will help open the doors to your future. Many paths to success require specific knowledge that a person can only get through higher education; those people who are inclined to lust after that knowledge should take the path to higher learning, however that is not the only path to success. Completing a degree of higher education is a type of accomplishment that shows the ability to stick with a commitment and see it to completion. If your path does not require higher education, then this alone is not a stumbling block to success, but may be something that will limit the height of success down the line.
Most importantly, you must be willing to work hard! If all of the other factors align and you are not willing to work for what you want you will fall far short of your path to success. Just remember that there are things that you cannot control, and there are things that you can; do not waste time on trying to change the static factors in your life; work on the dynamic factors that can boost your path to success.
Just remember that you are an unique individual that was created for a purpose; don’t wast time on pursuing something that doesn’t fit your unique path to success and do not get caught up in others visions of success. You were created to succeed in your personal path. Keep focused on what you can do to make real change that keeps you on track, and don’t let the static factors detour your progress. We all have a purpose that leads to our personal success – go out there and find yours!
