The Internet CEO - True Success Lies Within Us

The Fisherman And the American Story

Most people tend to see success through a paradigm. There was once a story of an American tourist who docked his boat in a tiny Mexican village. Impressed by the quality of the fish he caught, he asked a fisherman how long it took him to make his catch. "Not very long", answered the Mexican. "Why not stay out longer so that you can catch more" asked the American? The fisherman explained that he had already caught all he needed. "But what do you do with the rest of your time", asked the American? "I sleep late, play with my children, see my friends, drink coffee, play the guitar and sing a few songs." The American looked at him and said, "you will never be successful that way". The American said, you should start fishing longer every day and you can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the revenue, you can buy a bigger boat. With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and then a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of boats. Instead of selling your fish to a middleman retail, you can negotiate directly wholesale and open your own plant. After the business becomes successful, shares of stock can be sold and you can accumulate millions. Once millions have been generated, you can retire.

This is an example of what success meant to the American if he was the fisherman. The fisherman and the American thought totally different. They had different meanings of what success was to them and that was what defined who they both were.

MajorEnterprise has become a huge success due to the dedication of The Internet CEO himself, Carael Knight
