Players in the game of Careers earn salaries that increase and decrease depending on circumstances and education levels. They also draw Opportunity and Experience cards. They can end up in Hospital or Unemployed. They can retire to Paradise Island once they have completed an occupation 3 times (allowing them to pass the Payday square more rapidly and collect more salary). And they can declare Bankruptcy if they have to make a payment that they can’t afford to make.
Donald Trump has frequently used America’s laws to his advantage, putting several of his companies into bankruptcy over the years as a strategic business decision. Between 1991 and 2009, various casinos and hotels declared bankruptcy, although he himself has never been bankrupt.
Don’t be like Donald Trump. Please. Just don’t.
Can you apply these rules to real life? Of course you can.
Decide on your success formula. Set yourself a goal. Establish a timeframe. Work as hard as you can for as long as you have to.
Always keep in mind that, unlike the board game, you can reprioritize at any point. If your old success formula isn’t working for you, stop. Think. Think again. Then decide what you want, set the goal, establish a timeframe, and go after it.
But be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.
