Roadway to GDSC- Session 1 Powerpoint Presentation
Success is a Pyramid Scheme
2. You know the people who are at the top.
The industry and thought leaders.
The successful entrepreneurs.
The famous executives.
3. You follow them in the news.
You read their LinkedIn articles.
Their stories inspire you.
4. By now you’ve probably decided you’ll never reach
their level of fame, fortune, or accomplishment.
Either through genius, or innovation, or
determination, or sheer luck – and most often a
combination of each – these individuals did the right
things to reach their stature.
5. They are at the top of the pyramid.
Them
But that idea, or inspiration, or whatever it was that propelled
them to that lofty height, was only the beginning.
6. For the seed of their success to reach fruition and to be
sustained, they needed and still need a base of support.
Them
Us
And that base is us. While they innovate and inspire, and the
best of them lead, they still depend on us to do the work.
7. So continue to admire them. And to learn from them.
And to take advantage of their success when you can.
Just remember: they may be smart and they may be clever,
but they’re also lucky to have us.
