2. You need a certain financial intelligence which is not ordinarily acquired either by education or by emulating our elders and peers unless they happen to have mastered this particular skill set.
3. There are also five attributes that are necessary to navigate your way through the often treacherous waters of commerce, rewarded creativity, relationships, health and happiness.
4. A certain creative thinking that is a right hemisphere approach to solving the problems and challenges that life delivers.
5. A superior level of communication beyond that which most people have.
6. The power and skill to negotiate. This is not innate to everyone, namely we are not born with it; however as children we learn quite soon how to get what we want. This way of getting what we want as children often carries over into the real world which is counterproductive of course.
7. Marketing abilities. You do not need a marketing degree but you certainly need the requisite skills to move forward with your plans.
8. A grounded, centred or self aware approach to every single thing you do in your life; everywhere in your life.
9. The last attribute is the result for which you are aiming. Firstly you need to know what it is that you want and what the end result is; that is, you must start with the end in mind already. It is often easy enough to start with the end in mind, like Donald Trump did. He felt that it was as easy to go broke on a small deal as it was on a big deal so why not start with the big deal first.
10. Having also adopted this approach I would not advocate it unless you have nerves of steel, so please forget it. Once you have ascertained what it is that you want, what the result is, it is important to know WHY you are doing it. This is known as the Purpose and I would call it more specifically the Primary Purpose.
