What success is and why NOW is the perfect time to rethink your entire life.

In our lives we have between six and eight major categories that really matter to us the most. Deep down you know if something is a major or minor to you in your life. The issue is most people get distracted or focus on stuff that contribute to stuff that doesn’t matter. People tend to know more, talk more and put more energy into knowing about what is going on with a celebrity or a TV character life, than they do thinking about their own lives.

If this article does anything I hope that it inspires some thoughts that begins you on a journey to discovering, understanding and taking action on what matters to you in life.

Let’s first look at Health. Without your mind and body in order almost everything else becomes a secondary focus. You can work as hard as you like but you don't want to be the richest man in the graveyard. If you have physical and mental energy, vitality and strength then this is going to show up in your relationships, in your business and all other aspects of life. If you were to pick a priority to master then for me it has to be health, get educated in this as it is too important not to.

Next up is your ‘view of the world’. This is the main thing that has the greatest impact on this is your emotions. Imagine having all the money you ever wanted, having the physical health to enjoy it, having people around you that love you and yet your default emotion is to be irritated, annoyed and frustrated. It really doesn't matter you have a million pounds in the bank or a million people that love you, if your mind-state is poor then, life is not great.

Personally, I would place great relationships as a third factor, this can be social relationship, or in my view, more importantly, intimate ones. This is the area and aspect of life that can create the most joy for you, if done right, with self-awareness of the kinds of people that energise you. However, it is also where the wheels can come off and cause the most pain and distraction if you surround yourself with the wrong people.

This leads me on to ‘time’. And specially attention. Where and how you spend your time and attention is worth mastering. Do you really look at what are you spend your time doing? Mastering time can be mistaking movement for progressive achievement in a positive direction. Are you spending time on things, and with people, that create value for you and the people around you that you care about?

The context and life aspect of work, career or business is an important one. This has a lot of depth to it and mastery can be hard. This is why 95%+ businesses don’t survive the ten-year period, and some of the remaining ones that make it to this point may not be profitable or provide enjoyment for you or the people you work with or lead.

Next up is money and finances. Success for some is getting to a financial position where the pursuit of more money is no longer a focus in life. The aim being, to have the wealth to do, be, give and share as much as you want and not be stressed about it. In short you are living from a place of abundance rather than scarcity.

Then last but not least, in this particular article, there is spiritually. It’s strange that people often need either a significant emotional event to look at this area of life. Without going down a religious route, this to me is basically understanding ultimately what you believe in then having the conviction to live this. It tends to lead to more personal growth and more giving. Even though this is last on this list, if you really think about it, ‘success’ in all the other aspects without this category will not bring fulfilment. For example, sure you master business or master money but if you are not fulfilled by these achievements then something will always be missing. This is not just about positive thinking, and it is definitely not about manifestation without any action-taking, however, it is the reason why if you look around at others and possibly yourself in the mirror, the average person is not fit and healthy, the average person is not in a relationship where they have tremendous passion, the average person is not successful and the average person is not earning what they want.

In my own journey I have touched upon success in multiple aspects and yet being an extremely logical person, it took me a while, and some obstacles, to understand this spiritual aspect. Having done so, I have had the privilege to cross paths and learn from some incredible teachers over the last few years. My passion as it stands today is to build again, but this time build in a way that teaches other along the journey to cultivate happiness, understand what being personally fulfilled is, so that you can experience true success, which is ‘success coupled with fulfilment’. Why do I have a mission for this? Well, the quick reason is I’ve personally witnessed and experienced success without it and trust me, success can be brutally cut short and impact you negatively if you do not work out why and what you are personally doing it for.

Within the field of mentoring, coaching and training it’s fundamental to understand that everyone is going to measure themselves differently. This is due to everyone valuing things differently. Some people value success as significance, some people value relationship more and some people value security and certainty. Knowing the metrics behind what is important to YOU is fundamental and important and this is what our programmes and sessions focus on. Then, and only then, can you ensure that you can work-through strategies that get people from where they are now, to where they want to be.

My invitation to you is that if this article resonates with you, why sit there any longer stuck, not moving forwards. Use us to help define what forwards looks like for you? Can you afford to not know what you actually want in all these aspects life any longer? Can you afford to not start today?

You know my thoughts on this! Start today.

Look forward to speaking with you if this moves you to connect with me, and with the passion I have to get you to succeed, I’m excited to be on the journey with you.
