Don\u2019t let emotions push you past your goal. Stop, consolidate your gains, and prepare for new, different circumstances.

According to Law 47 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-are-the-48-laws-of-power\/\">48 Laws of Power<\/a>, the ability to resist the temptation, stop, and consolidate your gains distinguishes the powerful from the wannabes.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The danger inherent in victory is this: Up until the point of victory you\u2019ve relied on a strategy, which has given you the ability to control what comes next. However, <strong>victory and the elation it generates undermine your control<\/strong> for two reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>They motivate you to press forward beyond your strategy. This may no longer be the best direction for you because your success depended on a set of circumstances that won\u2019t be duplicated going forward.<\/li><li><strong>Success makes you emotional and you feel invincible<\/strong>. You\u2019re motivated to make reckless moves that undercut or erase your victory. A complicating factor is that people below you, feeling the same emotions, often press you to go beyond your mark and risk losing what you\u2019ve gained.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>While victory is intoxicating, you need to be guided by reason, not emotion<\/strong>. In victory, learn when to stop. Don\u2019t be deluded into believing your success was a result of your brilliance alone \u2014 luck and one-time circumstances played a role, and they\u2019re ever-changing.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your fortunes will turn \u2014 your victory is the point at which to open your eyes and begin preparing. You need a new strategy that keeps you in control.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Putting Law 47 to Work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example of how to apply Law 47 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-48-laws-of-power-about\/\">48 Laws of Power<\/a>: In France during the 1700s, being the king\u2019s mistress tended to be short-lived. As soon as she achieved the position, the mistress immediately began trying to extend her reign by escalating many of the tactics that got her there \u2014 for instance, ruthlessness toward potential challengers, vindictiveness, manipulation, and scheming. These tactics might work for a short time but they created an eventual backlash and her undoing.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Madame de Pompadour, King Louis XV\u2019s mistress, took a different approach. After achieving her goal with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/48-laws-of-power-law-29-plan-all-the-way-to-the-end\/\">long-planned<\/a> and methodically executed strategy, she stopped and employed a new strategy.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than pressing forward to attack and eliminate potential rivals, she consolidated her power base, won support and new allies (including the queen), and remained alert to changing circumstances and addressed them creatively.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Madame de Pompadour succeeded where others failed because she stopped when she achieved victory, and devised a new strategy for new circumstances. She remained mistress for an unprecedented twenty years because she followed Law 47 of the 48 Laws of Power: In Victory, Learn When to Stop.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exceptions to Law<\/strong> 47<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are there any exceptions to Law 47 of the 48 Laws of Power? Should you ever <em>not<\/em> learn when to stop? At the moment of victory, make sure you don\u2019t stop before you\u2019ve crushed your enemy. Once that\u2019s done, however, don\u2019t create more enemies by overreaching.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, don\u2019t be suckered into rash action by a belief in momentum, which is overrated. Fear of losing momentum is an emotional reaction, which could drive you to repeat tactics that won\u2019t work a second time rather than acting rationally and strategically. It&#8217;s best to follow Law 47 of the 48 Laws of Power: In Victory, Learn When to Stop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview of Law #47: In Victory, Learn When to Stop The moment of victory is a moment of danger because you\u2019re tempted to press your luck.
