    Study Notes

    Defining Success

    • Success is multifaceted, encompassing various areas like love, sports, and horse training, as well as financial achievement.
    • This discussion focuses on financial success in business, career, and investments.

    Economic Classes

    • Economic classes are categorized into seven groups: lower, lower middle, middle middle, upper middle, affluent, wealthy, and super wealthy.
    • Historically, prior to the 1800s, most people belonged to the lower class (poor).
    • Middle-class status is attainable today for most individuals. Achieving middle-middle class often involves a high school diploma, a good job, hard work, and honesty.

    Aspirational Goals

    • The goal is to achieve upper middle class status or affluence, – not necessitating mansion or private jet — focusing on having enough financial resources for personal needs.
    • These needs are exemplified by vacations abroad, a comfortable home, vehicles, medical care, education for children, and a comfortable retirement.

    Balancing Success with Well-being

    • While financial resources are important, physical, emotional, and spiritual health, as well as loving relationships, are of greater importance than wealth.

    • However, a substantial income can create opportunities for positive outcomes in these life areas.

    • Helping others, which is a significant source of personal satisfaction, is often made easier with financial resources.
