No One Really Wants to Tell You How to Be Successful

I’ve caught on to the number of generalized articles floating around that explain “the keys” to success.

You’ve seen them.

Those articles guiding readers through a step-by-step process on how to make it big. They pander:

Do as I say and you, too, can relish in the appurtenances of success!

Now, I like the idea of bringing others up. I welcome the thought of sharing those precious keys.

However, this exchange is highly deceptive.

I’d say 90% of the “how-to-success-it-up” articles are complete bullshit. Especially the ones offering overhead success — as in no relation to a specific skill or industry.

They serve as nothing but wishful thinking for readers and a false sense of authority for those writing. It’s a meaningless swap of information.

Hold on there, cowboy

At this point, you’re probably in demand of an explaination. Maybe you’ve written a success article. Maybe you recently read one.

I get it, I’ve made you feel mislead.

These writings are not complete wastes of time and energy. I admit, some of them aren’t total shit. There are benefits to sharing experiences and relaying learning…
