Success - One's Biggest Downfall

Macaulay Culkin, Baja Men (Who Let the Dogs Out?), Jonathan Abrams, etc. To me these are examples of people who have found one success and have held so strongly to their one success that they have failed to be successful. Did we really need 3 Home Alone's? Perhaps Macaulay Culkin doing Home Alone and hanging out with Michael Jackson led to his inability to be cast in bigger and better roles that would have been able to push Culkin's career to unfathomable heights.

The corollary, Michael Jordan, Donald Trump, Michael Jackson (despite his weirdness). These are prime examples of people who were/are constantly find successes and people I would describe as grossly successful.

What differentiates these two groups? The successful people are consumed with being the best and brightest while the unsuccessful people were so struck to have a success that they failed to reach the next level. Any thoughts on how we keep from getting star-struck and become successful amidst our successes? A friend of mine is a great example to me of this.

BliggyBank

One of my close partners is starting a new company, BliggyBank.com. BliggyBank is supposed to be a blog service where you can donate, via paypal, to a blogger's account to incentivize them to post on your pitch/idea. I think this is a great idea and as a new blogger hoping to build a larger readership I think this is ingenious and as soon as it become available I'll be signing up to do some work with them.

The founder of BliggyBank is also the owner of ChristianDatesOnline.com. Drop me a line if any would like to get in touch with BliggyBank and I'd be happy to pass you along their contact info.
