First become a Success, then Ditch it

How often I have seen this!

We have a deeply ambivalent attitude toward Success. We want it, but once we get it - we cannot stand it.

I will illustrate this with a true story, about Marielos, a women I lived with, for 5 years, when I first came to Costa Rica.

Her customers were women who would park their cars, in front of her house, come inside, and look at her large book of women's fashions. They would select a fashion that they liked, and Marielos would measure all their body dimensions. and then get her team, to sew a dress, just made for her!

She employed two women, full-time. And had a nice little business, that kept her busy.

Five years later, she had no business at all.
