How To Define Success Your Way!
Have you ever asked yourself what it would take to be successful in life?
In my coaching business, I’ve found that many people are unclear about what success means to them. Our society defines success largely around 3 components: cash, power and also popularity. A lot of you reviewing this might be saying, “wait a minute– those components are not the most important things to me.”
Success is usually abstract. It’s absolutely special to every individual. Have you thought about how you will know when you’ve reached success?
The benefit of knowing this is so you can create a life that will be meaningful to you.
For one of my existing clients, his definition of success is having freedom in his career. He wants to establish his own goals and also direct his own tasks. He’s considering part-time consulting work as a transition to creating this success.
Another client defines success as having a rewarding family life where she can create beautiful memories and also do the things that fuel her soul. I’ve been coaching her to cut her hours down and hire more staff so she can free up her schedule.
Billionaire Richard Branson defines success by how happy he is: “Too many people measure how successful they are by how much money they make or the people that they associate with. In my opinion, true success should be measured by how happy you are.”
A fantastic method to begin the process of defining success is to finish these sentences:
What success means to me is….
Success will look like ….
I will feel fulfilled when….
Remember to start taking action steps to get what you want after you’ve defined success. Establish specific objectives and also obtain the assistance you require to reach your dreams. Anticipate exactly how to deal with obstacles such as your own concerns, your “yeah buts” as well as any fears.
When you create your own success it is a process that never ever ends. As you achieve one objective you’ll see an additional mountaintop you’ll intend to climb up.
Along the road, do not fail to remember to value what you currently have as well as to celebrate each tiny success that brings about your grand reward!
