Let's be honest...people aren't driven towards this sort of fame and this manner of success without huge gobs of ego...

Since when was ego ever your most trusted advisor?

It ain't...

So you have to be some kind of VSP to handle the dichotomy of normalcy and fame. How many "stars" live up? Very few...

VSP= very special person
VIP=very important person

One smacks of ego and is, not coincidentally, the overused title in celebrity-ville.

Started well, then kind of drifted away from what I asked, since what I asked was more about, uhh, "super-achieving users of (e.g.) visualisation" rather than "celebrities". I mean, Katia Ivanova (forex) is a "celebrity" but not outstandingly good at anything AFAIK.

No harm done tho', I'll just restate.

Maybe some success techniques are ... dangerous in a a double-edged sword way. What do other others think? (as the owner might say )
