Do Riches Define Success? 11 Moguls Share Their Definition…

Surround yourself with like-minded and success driven people. ~Nordia C

“True success should be measured by how happy you are”…statement made by billionaire Richard Branson when asked how he defined success. Curious I decided to add to my study and research on success by asking professionals what they think success means to them. Was it all about money/ riches?

Here’s how 11 Moguls shared their spin on success:

Success is how we fulfil our purpose for life and use the God-given talents we have received. ~Christine Stephens
First think of what value we are creating to society before we think about what we can earn from society. When we look at it from that angle, there will always be opportunities to succeed. ~Gregory Turner
Simply put, its achieving any clearly defined goals. ~Sher-Sher Milan
The substance that lies within and is shared with the world. ~Maxine P.C.
Your life’s purpose could be that you are called to do something that is greater than yourself. ~Susan C
Achievement and accomplishments, setting one’s goals and dreams and then witnessing the fruition. ~Charmaine Allwood-Hanson
Flexibility and the ability to do whatever you want, whenever you want because you have the means to do it. ~Ashleigh Maitland
We all learn from each other. Passion, skill and talent equal progress which leads to success. ~Monique Calder
Surround yourself with like-minded nd success driven people. Nordia Cameron-cunningham
Success is measured by the difference we make in someone’s life and our contribution to society. ~Hyacinth Campbell
Simple things. It’s important to spend even one minute giving worthy advice. ~Ari-Anna

Breathe. If you don’t, you’ll suffocate
You have a soul. Be careful with it
Don’t be a turd. Be smart. Be humble.
God is real. He wants the best for you.

When Goals Differ …

I was driving behind a car when the traffic light changed to orange. It was more than enough time for the car ahead to go through. But the man behind the wheel purposely slowed down to stop. Naturally I was annoyed.

As I looked at him I realized his goal was to stop to smoke. Mine was to get to work on time. Drove me crazy.

He was chilling. I was late. He appeared to have gone to the gym and was unhurriedly getting back. I needed to go to the gym but can’t (smirk). He may have a job that he can go when he pleases. Mine was to get there early or else…

But though I hated his actions, he was living his choice. I have to live with mine. We must stick with the choices we make. What’s your choice today?

Goals do differ. But we must be careful of goals that should be aligned such as on-the-job, or relationships. Some goals must go together as in organizations, joint partnerships, marriage and the like.

Check yourself.Are you on track with your goal? When things go awry, what do you do? Do share, we’d love to hear.

Cheers!

Write. Something Old. Something New…

Write. Just Write. Write about something old, something new. Twist it. Turn it. Then spool it into something you.

We often ask the question why some people succeed when others don’t. It seems there is a missing element. Something we lack. The truth is that you can succeed at whatever you dream about; whatever you put your mind to achieve. Know that you don’t have to go it alone. Here are some reasons why people hire a coach to improve their lives and their business.

People hire a coach to help put systems in place (e.g. time management, social media engagement, managing products, and managing people)
When they know what to do but not how to do it
Feel Stuck , confused
When you want to make more money …want to do what you want to do
When they know it’s time to break free
When they figure out they can’t do it alone
Need resources and don’t know where to find them (financial, legal, staffing, marketing, etc)
When going through a period of transition. when they don’t know what is relevant (been away long)
When fallen behind on their goals, dreams, and aspirations

Feeling confused and need help to navigate to the next step in your career or business? Lets connect.

Cheers!

Books: Readers Share Their Top Getaway Reads…

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. ~Ursula K. Le Guin

We have all had our favorite books that we have read from a young age. Some have left an impact on our lives. On a B&N public forum, a reader asked “What Book has stayed with you long after you’ve read it?” Fellow readers poured in with responses. Here I share a few that may prove worthwhile for your vacation, getaway, or a mid-summer night’s read.
