Fred asked: What is the most important attributes of a successful person?
Kim Mecklenburg Coach, consultant, speaker, author, USMC vet, mom, believer answered just now: Oddly enough, the abuse I suffered as a child until I was able to “escape” at 14 is mostly responsible. It caused me to shut down emotionally and that made getting ahead in business very easy. Granted, that was in the 2000’s when corporate greed and getting ahead at all costs was actually lauded so I was primed for the times.
I want to note two things here:
First, abuse is horrible, but if you’ve gone through it, there are preternatural gifts that you gain that other people don’t and if you can identify them and use them, you’ll be several steps ahead. For example, when you are abused, you gain the ability to read people and often know what they truly want before they do which is helpful in life.
Second, if that’s the path you’re on, the big challenge is surfacing who you really are. There’s a loneliness that comes with it as well but with work, it can be rectified. That’s a promise because I’ve studied and applied most every method known for healing and succeeding in life and I’ve helped so many people that the evidence is there for me.
