Who Else Under The Age Of 100 Wants To Be An Online Success?

"Success Secrets", "The Secret of Success" and "The Secret Key to Success" - frequently seen headlines that continue to be a fascination for many. We're seemingly always on the lookout for success, believing there must be a secret to it. Yet this story shows it can be much more straightforward than that.

Clara Cannucciari, the sheroe of our story, is 94 years old. According to recent coverage by the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper, click here to see the article - she has a blog, a Facebook account and an online cooking show, "Great Depression Cooking With Clara" which has become a YouTube sensation, with nearly 2 million hits and counting.

Clara Cannucciari, her drive and success, and how she did it, surely can be inspirational to people of all ages, hence my blogging about it. She "simply" took a valuable lesson from the past - from the Great Depression 80 years ago - and shared it with the world - via nicely done YouTube videos - and abracadabra, success.

No secret needed. Just approach business as you would cooking. Take the right ingredients (required by your recipe), cook them in the right way and you will get a somewhat predictable outcome. Put differently, success is learned - and done - in the same way as cooking. You must have the right recipe, and the right ingredients, but that's as far as it goes. From there the rest of success follows, more or less naturally, very much predictably.

Clara's recipe features a cup of past (valuable lesson), a pound of present (sharing it with the world) and much help from your friends. I have a strong hunch that Carla knows the best vitamin for making friends is B1. Other ingredients probably also included perseverance, promotion and search engine optimization, but these are standard in every recipe for online success.

"I'm too old!" - it's one of the best liked excuses around the world. If nothing more, I hope Clara Cannucciari's story makes the "I'm too old" excuse a thing of the past, where it belongs.
