The world of man is a mechanism that functions on the basis of certain concepts and principles, which man has identified as the foundations of the pneumatological aspect of his nature, a mechanism that man has created and shaped over the centuries, in order to put himself in a position to procure ever more easily the things he needed to live well and prosper. This mechanism is the System.
The System is the basis of everything, just like nature.
Fewer than 1% of the world's population are the people who know the System, and these people are the only ones who can be considered successful, because they are the only ones who prosper in freedom, as sovereigns.
The System is the basis of everything, just like nature.
Think of the System as the conceptual core on which government and economic policies are developed, through which man's productive activities are regulated.
The System is that part which is common to all of man's productive activities. At the economic level, all economic sectors and all entrepreneurial activities are the consequence of the System.
Preparation on the System is key to success.
They call them Ultra High Net-Worth Individuals, and they are the individuals whose net worth exceeds thirty million dollars. They are less than 0.01% of the world population (Knight Frank, Altrata) and they are the minority that can be considered successful, truly successful, because they are the only ones who prosper in freedom.
Man is a soulful entity moved by the interest to prosper, that is, to continually improve the quality of his life. To this end, he creates conditions, systems, means and tools that allow him to procure ever more effectively and ever more efficiently what he needs to live well.
Among the many things man has created for this purpose, the most powerful of all is the System.
The System is the mechanism through which all of man's productive activities are regulated, wherever he is and wherever he goes, in the world.
Think of the System as that thing which explains why we do what we do and why we must do it.
Like all mechanisms, the System too is founded on concepts and principles, and those on which the System is founded are those on which the pneumatological (soul-spiritual) aspect of human nature is founded, an aspect of our nature that we have understood more and more as we live.
The System is the soul of all entrepreneurial activities. Every company, in whatever sector it operates, rests on it, whether it knows it or not. Those who do not know what lies at the center, that is, what the concepts and principles on which the System is founded are, not only do not grow, but sooner or later fail. Indeed, one of the main causes of the death of small and medium-sized enterprises is the lack of preparation on the System by those who lead them.
Imagine the levels of preparation on entrepreneurial activity as a series of concentric circles, each divided into sectors: the outermost is that of business sectors, then the economic sectors, and at the center the System.
Now take any one of these sectors, from the outer edge to the center, and position it with the vertex at the bottom. You get a triangle: the triangle of knowledge and preparation.
At the top, where the triangle is widest, there is the information on business sectors and economic sectors. There is a great deal of it, and it is this that is talked about in books and on the internet. The further down you go, the more the triangle narrows: the information decreases, but it becomes increasingly important. At the bottom, at the vertex, are the two aspects of the System, the scientific and the philosophical. Nobody talks about this.
And yet it is the part without which everything else is useless. The information at the top, on its own, gives you only the illusion of knowing, precisely because there is so much of it, and that illusion makes you fail.
