What does it take for your success?

 

What do you believe? Success is deeply affected by what we believe about ourselves, our abilities and our opportunities to engage, grow and succeed.  Have you been in an environment where the morale is low? Where no one seems to believe that anything will succeed, change, or flourish? What about your favorite restaurant? What is different about that experience? What ambiance, service, or experience brings a pleasant thought to your mind? Time is the most valuable commodity in each of our lives. Are you spending your time with people who encourage you? Are you working in an environment where excellence is appreciated? Effort’s reward a daily experience? Do you believe that you are valuable? Do you find worth in your own needs being met? Do you reward yourself for work accomplished?

“What we think about we bring about” as Zig Ziglar shared so many times. The thought of that is often “Oh I need to think about being wealthy or successful” but too often the thoughts we think are more negatively grounded, more in tune with “this isn’t working…or I”ll never get this handled” which can truly stymie your daily experience. Are your goals set? Do you know the steps it takes to accomplish the desires you dream of? Are there people in your organization to support, teach, share, and mentor you? Do you see yourself in the vision you dream of, plan for, and identify as what “success” is for you?

One of the benefits of able strategic partners in your business and in your life is the environment and culture that focused entrepreneurs bring to the daily experience. My business partners are leading the pack in our area of business. They not only are building our company strong, but its clear that they want each of our businesses to flourish. The business plan and products are focused to support each of us gaining ground on the future we want tomorrow happening today.They seek to enlarge individuals skills as each of us approach tomorrow with understanding of the stages of  success required.  Are you in a tribe that seeks to be their best? Does your company include individuals who recognize excellence, celebrate achievements and seek to be consistent yet also expect to grow and excel in all areas of their success? Do you have leaders on your team who are focused on supporting your business and personal growth?

What do you need to be your best you? What encourages you? What transforms your daily “to do” list to one that you wake up ready to engage? What makes success worth the effort for you? How do you reward yourself and how do you prefer to be rewarded? Important questions to consider. We know that ultimate wealth is building a life you not only desire to embrace, but to also achieve the life vision you have for yourself? What does yours look like? We’re about to enter the fourth quarter of the physical business year, but more importantly, we’re entering a new season of this year.  Are you ready to find a future you want to live today? I’ve made a transition, I’ve worked through what the above questions look like for me, I’d like to hear how they look for you.

Winning in Life…Live your future today

Recently I was in Texas for a national meeting and celebration of accomplishments. It’s always exciting to see the achievements of individuals who have made a decision to learn the skills to live their future today. It’s a different kind of success when you know you’ve personally engaged the skills and created your success. Of course it doesn’t hurt one bit that the founders of our products simply put excellence first.

What are you excited about in life? What do you work for? Personally I work for the freedom to choose the hours I work. To work with people I appreciate and to have a lifestyle that I enjoy.  Owning my own business has required me to learn to be a leader who encourages. To lead myself as well as to lead others.  Are you encouraged where you work? Do people get on their feet and give others standing ovations for accomplishments?  I saw a good deal of that at our meeting. I saw people being celebrated for earning cars top leaders being recognized.  I saw tears of happiness and acclaims of “wow, look at them go.”  You see success isn’t about one person creating a life that is better for them alone, it’s about having a repeatable, sustainable process that is a win/win for our clients, our team members, as well as ourselves.  Isn’t that the American dream?

Win/Win/Win situations. How rare those are in companies today, but I believe it is the only way to work.  Are you ready? I’ll be happy to share with you what has made such a difference in my life, and it will do the same for yours if you’re willing to learn! What is the future you’d like to live today?

 

Prospects of Success

From Me to You: One of the reasons I own my own business is because there is no glass ceiling.  In roles and jobs I see in our town and in other areas our teams are present, their “jobs” are just that, a limited opportunity.  There is usually a “per hour” limit, a “monthly limit” and a long set of expectations.  One of the many advantages of why I chose to own my independent businesses in life was because I didn’t want to face a “glass ceiling” on how much income I could earn in a hour, day, week, or even year.  I didn’t enjoy the propect of being told when to work, where to work, how to work or dress.  My business represents Freedom.  Freedom to live a life I prefer to live with few boundaries for time, vacation, hours I work, days I take off.  Of course every business requires effort, involvement, and excellence, but think about it, do you want to do your best only to make the same dismal wage for that effort? Personally I prefer to be rewarded for my diligence, I enjoy knowing that when I do my job well it will be rewarded. I can think of better things to do than work 9 to 5 in an office.  How about you?
