ARE YOU SUCCESSFUL?

I strongly believe that to be successful, you need to define what success looks like to you. Mr. Google, describes success
as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. Too often we allow the measure of success to be determined by who has
the most money or toys. But is that all there is? I encourage you to ask yourself what YOUR definition of success is…are
you being led into the mindset of others and if so does that resonate with you? Perhaps success really does go deeper
than that. What else is there to consider?

In business it is important to have a Mission Statement that outlines what your service/ business represents today and
what it hopes to achieve in the future. In our personal lives it is also important to have goals and desires in order to have
a sense of direction. It has been proven that those people who write down their aspirations have a greater chance of
achieving said goals. Why not start there? When you do so, you are creating a contract with yourself. Keep a journal of all
your desires and why and how they fulfil your personal mission statement.

By taking time to be still and listening to yourself, the answers to success will be revealed. Sometimes, what appears to
be a failure can open opportunities that you would not have previously considered. Keeping an open and positive
attitude is important. Visualize yourself achieving your goals then living as though you have met them. You are in control
of what you think and will ultimately create your reality. Truly that is what being successful is all about.
Until next month,
