Here's a great quote. "Your successful past will block your visions of the future." --Joel A. Barker
My father has said many times while talking about his friends' business mistakes. "They thought everything they touched turned into gold." A newer version of this expression would be "they're drinking their own Kool-Aid". Its easy when you are successful to get into a rut. Its easy to stop learning and stop pushing yourself to grow. Once you find a successful pattern its hard to change. Drinking your own Kool-Aid will paralize your forward thinking and it will numb your creativity. A taste of success is no time to relax.

This post was very good. It spoke to me because it hit me right at home. Work, Work, and keep working. Oh, wait I am dead. Keep working.
You have to remember to relax sometimes though (if you’re over 25)!
