Success is one thing that
virtually every human person happens to be very familiar with. However, this familiarity is not
actually based on people's personal experience of success or their relationship with it but
on their academical and/or intellectual knowledge of success.
A whole lot
of people desire so much to be successful in life; they hope for their ventures to always succeed but unfortunately for many of us, this just happens to end up as desires, #not reality#
A good and true entrepreneur's life is not supposed to be like that. An entrepreneur is supposed to have a personal relationship with success - He must know what success is; how success operates; what success likes or dislikes; what environments success survive in and don't survive in.
This is what this article hopes to help us achieve.
What really is Success?
According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, success refers to reception of the
correct or desired result of an attempt. It is also used to refer to the fact
of getting or achieve wealth, respect, or fame. A lot of books and articles in
journals, newsletters or magazines have been written on success and each of
them presents in their own way what success could mean and how to achieve it.
Information, an Elemental Driver of Success
Now, when we say that information is an elemental driver of success, what does it mean? When you read books or articles that tell you about success, what
you are doing is gathering information about success. What you receive in
return is knowledge - Knowledge about Success. The amount information you gather about success and how to apply your acquired knowledge, determines how your relationship with success is going to be and eventually whether or not your ventures will be successful. Information boosts your relationship with success in following ways:
i. By giving you knowledge about things that are likely to happen in the
near future so that you can prepare yourself for the opportunities that they
will create. With this you can plan yourself awaiting that day when you will
just explode into success.
ii.
By giving you the knowledge of how to manage issues, situations, people
and solve problems easily such that would get people attracted to you who would
not want to lose you and in fact desire to pay for you services.
iii.
By opening the eyes of your mind to opportunities right under your nose
which seemed invisible but were not actually just that in ignorance, you never
took notice of them.
iv.
By helping you go into yourself in successive exploration to see your
God-given strengths and talents leading to a discovery of yourself and your
purpose in life. In the end be able to generate ideas and extraordinarily
creative concepts.
v.
By helping you to operate at the level of precision and accuracy and
away from guesswork which is an instant killer of success.
vi.
By changing your attitude towards issues and situations in order to
reorganize your perception of success and failure.

Enoch Onuoha says, “To succeed in this day and age, all you need to be ahead of
the pack is to be informed, and turn the information into transformation for
your betterment and that of others”.

Maraboli says, “Stop allowing your outdated ideas to hinder your progress. How
would your life be different if you become open to new information that can
refine, improve, enhance your way of thinking, and empower your way of living”.

Ayivor says, “Information had become a critical tool that you can use to raise
your bar across every barrier towards excellence. Deny this fact and maintain
your bar wherever it was without even a millimeter lift”.
At this point, you can clearly see that it is not everyone who desires to succeed that actually succeeds; you must be
ready to pay the price for it and that is, "To gather as much information you can about success". But more than that, "You must most importantly learn how to apply your acquired knowledge about information so that you can be not just familiar with success but be really successful. The world’s
greatest number of failures were and still are as a result of lack of adequate and or proper
information about success, this is simply why a lot of people fail.
In our next article, we are going to look more deeply at the "Power of Information" and "How it can not just boost our knowledge about success but make us really succeed in our endeavors". And What it really means to be Successful.
