One of my favorite questions to ask a client that just said yes and signed a contract with us is…
“How Will YOU Measure Success”?
I decide what to do next based solely on how they answer this question.
There have been some answers that forced me to walk away and tear up the contract because the expectations are unrealistic or have nothing to do with success!
Ask yourself this question today… How Will YOU Measure Success?
How would you answer this question right now?
Your answer will tell you everything about what you believe success is.
Most people look at the professional athlete, actor, or musician and will say they are successful. Unfortunately, that statement would not be true!
We have been deceived by the Appearance of Success. This happens when we Measure success through the lens of money or skill.
The Media, Movies, and even some of our schools put all the emphasis of success on how much wealth do you have.
We grow up idolizing rich athletes and actors thinking they have the good life. It’s usually too late until we realize true Success has very little to do with money!
What good does money do when you’ve lost your family, friends, and health?
Take a close look at some of those who you see as successful based on money and the acquisition of stuff. Look past the stuff and see the addictions, emptiness, depression, broken marriages, and lost children.
I have told my family I would rather die financially broke than to lose everything else pursuing money.
You can have it all as long as you are able to answer the question correctly – How Will YOU Measure Success?
Does your definition of success only include the Appearance of Success? You have all that money can buy but are bankrupt in the other areas?
True Success is having a balance in all of the 5 pillars of life: Spiritual, Relational, Emotional, Physical, and Financial.
These are in order of importance but notice where money is on the Success wheel!
How much time, energy, and focus are you putting in the first four of these?
