The Pyramid of Success
Summary
- I learned about the pyramid of success from a well-known coach. It has two cornerstones: industriousness and enthusiasm. These are essential for being a successful teammate or CEO.
- As a CEO, it's important to work hard and focus on the right tasks. This helps companies grow and succeed.
- Enthusiasm is just as important as hard work. Showing up with a smile each day can make a big difference.
- When we invest in companies, I look for leaders who embody these qualities. They are likely to lead their teams to success.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing the concepts of industriousness and enthusiasm in everyday activities. First, focus on industriousness by prioritizing tasks that matter. Create a list of tasks each day, and choose the ones that have the biggest impact on your goals. This helps ensure you’re working smart, not just hard.
Next, integrate enthusiasm into your routine. Start each day by listing things you're grateful for or excited about. Even just smiling at the beginning of your workday can transform your mindset and set a positive tone. Share this energy with your team or clients—it’s contagious and can lead to better collaboration and relationships.
As a small business owner or entrepreneur, these qualities are crucial. You lead by example, and when you work hard and show enthusiasm, you inspire your team to do the same. This doesn't require money or much time, but the return is significant.
Keep an eye out for team members or partners who also showcase industriousness and enthusiasm. They are likely to drive the team forward and contribute to the business's success, similar to what I look for in leaders when investing in companies.
These small shifts in focus and attitude can make all the difference in personal growth and business success.
