What does success mean to you?



Read More: Mindset

Are you successful?  Is your success the same as mine?  I can guarantee that it’s not.  When you finally reach that spot where you can say that you’re successful what will that look like? Can you define that?

When I get asked that question, the answer I give is this: Success means being able to have the financial means to live my passion. It means living a healthier, happier and more fulfilled life than I ever thought possible. We both know that money is not everything but it is helpful when it comes to enjoying life.  I know I deserve this.  The path to success is riddled with failures.  But I have created my path and I have created my own personal story on the way.  Now I help people go with me.  This is what success means to me!

Success can also only be judged on the moment that is now, because, in the next moment all current circumstances could change.   Ask any homeless person on the street, any person whose entire possessions have just been carried off by a tornado, or for whatever reason lost their means of income.  Do you think their view of success has not been changed from one moment to the next moment?  

You can find your path to success, by finding your passion.  What makes you “tick”?  Is there something you would love to do if you got paid or not?  What does your ideal life look like?  What is holding you back from living that life?  Are you in fact self sabotaging your journey to success?  Have you defined the path and taken all the steps to create your path to success.  Have you set very specific, positively phrased concrete goals.  Have you discussed any possible obstacles, including how to deal with the fears when they creep up, with your coach or support group? 

Your success is absolutely up to you!  With help and guidance you create you path, you create your goals and you create your story.   If you need help, let me show you how.  I can’t dream your dreams, I can share them with you.  I can’t design your life, only you can, but, I can be a part of it.  Helping you fix your mindset, helping you define who you are, by showing you the different options you can build your own success.  I can celebrate it with you.  But only you can build it.

A True Mentor

This is a great article, Les. You have shown what it is to be a true Mentor. You can't build other's dreams but you can come along side for support and guidance. You are one of the best!

Thumbs Up!

Les, this is a nice blog. You are right...success isn't always about finances. Someone might want to be a successful instructor, successful navigator, successful designer....you name it, it's there and it's very personal.

It's nice if that success translates into $$$, but the reality- it's the accomplishment that makes us feel the best.

Smooches ♥

What an article Les!!

Les, this is a beautiful and such a frank article. "Success can also only be judged on the moment that is now, because, in the next moment all current circumstances could change". It took me awhile to find success and with MFF, our mastermind group, I have learned HOW to be successful. Great Value and Brillant article. Thank you

Take It To The Bank !

Suceess is definitely up to the person who wants it.
If a person has a burning desire to be successful,
nobody can stop that person but themselves.
