Let me introduce what I call the G.U.P., my unofficial secret formula for success. G.U.P. consists of three sets of variables that all of us must discover and use in order to obtain the successful status that represents a successful life - by one's own definition. That includes building a successful business and completing a successful exit from your business to realize your dream. This is the full cycle an entrepreneur goes through. G.U.P. helps you use your internal North Star or road map to get there. Read on to learn how to be successful and realize your dream of financial independence. For centuries, the Chinese have believed that success hinges on three variables. All three variables must line up, just like a slot machine at a casino. When that happens, you've hit the jackpot and, in layman's terms, you're successful. This could be in any profession, any career, or anything in general that people describe as success. That is, you have to be in the right place at the right time, with the right people
