The Cult For Instant Success

In our Western society, where performance and easy and fast success are nearly a cult, we hear oversimplifications of reaching that success, which leaves driven leaders questioning their competencies, adaptability to our times, and willpower.

So let's explore here:

  • why is fast success so attractive in our society?
  • why are we attracted to it?
  • can you be driven and ambitious and take some time to enjoy life (and if so, how?)

Do you have thoughts, comments, or feedback? I'd love to hear from you! Email me at laurence@thegrowthfuel.com, and I'll reply.
