Week 5

Success does not magically arrive. It is not handed to you but it is not impossible to have either. It requires work though, and perseverance. As the Hero's Journey points out, you cannot be good at everything. You have to specialize in something and focus on that. We need to use our gifts to help others. While we pursue things that we enjoy and we also need to look for ways to help others. The end doesn't justify the means though. We need to make sure we are holding onto to our values while we work towards our success. Success will mean nothing if we don't have the people we love and care about with us there. It will mean nothing if we know that we have lied and cheated our way there. Hard work matters. It teaches are patience and endurance. It helps us appreciate our success. 

One thing that is clear to me is that success doesn’t look the same for everyone. Success can look different for everyone. We will fail more times in business than we will succeed, that’s why character matters so much. It’s while when asked, an entrepreneur said that skill and luck are helpful, but character matters most.
