Your supposition is that you have difficulty finding opportunities for service to others, whether it be because a lack of personal power or a lack of resources, therefore it is best to focus on acquiring these.
The error I detect is that this achievement, acquisition of more personal power and resources, means that one is on the Service-to-Self path. That is not neccesarily the case, because serving self is serving all.
Instead, achieve, just try not to do harm, and keep focused on your ultimate goals. Elon Musk has done great service by founding SpaceX (The commercial Space Flight Company), Tesla Motors, and Solar City. But first he needed get funds from founding PayPal, not as obviously STO, but clearly non-harmful. In fact outside of a few industries such as banking, arms, or some in politics, I think it's a mistake to say that a majority of the successful are STS.
It is not necessary to be harmful and unethical in order to achieve, and in doing so you will face considerable difficulty in unlearning those lessons if you want to serve others.
