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.
