It’s an interesting question… For some Success can be measured by how much money they have in the bank, for others it could be the role they play in their community, the career they have, or maybe it’s the person they are being.

For me personally it’s all about the contribution you make and the integrity and values you have. There are plenty of very wealthy people out there who have achieved success and have created financial abundance, but if they are alone without friends and loved ones, then one would hardly call them successful. Money alone won’t keep you warm at night. On the other hand, having absolutely no money or financial security is not a success story either, no matter how much you give back to your community. You need to be able to help yourself to be able to more effectively help others.

Key to Success

Integrity would have to come into the definition of success for me every time. I know of many people who would consider themselves to be “successful Business Men or Women” and from a monetary standpoint that could be true. However their integrity is often lacking and their attitude displays one of “what’s in it for me”? Often these individuals display acts of greed, selfishness and arrogance. Luckily most of the Successful people I know are successful in every sense of the word - they are rich in income, friendships, relationships, health and happiness and those 5 things would be my 5 pre-requisites in the definition of Success.

One of my favourite Personal Development speakers Jim Rohn once said “if you help enough people get what they want, you can have everything you want” and this is how I run my business. My business is absolutely about generating a fantastic income for myself and my family, but that would be a pretty empty goal if I couldn’t assist others to create the same along the way. Helping others to achieve financial and personal success is a balance that many people are looking to achieve.

My husband Paul and I were recently at one of our conferences in Puerto Rico and we got to hear from an amazing speaker Neal Petersen. Neal sailed solo around the world in a boat he designed and built - 27,000 miles in a boat alone at sea! Neal spoke about having 4 key values in what you do, and to me sums up Success;

“1. Is it right for me?

2. Is it right for my family?

3. Is it right for my community?

4. Is it right for the next generation?”

I genuinely believe if you ask yourself these 4 questions about the actions you are taking in life, and can answer yes to each of those 4 things, you’d have to be on a successful path. I know that what we are doing with our Business is absolutely on a success path . “Stand and be counted by your contribution” Neal Petersen

I often get asked, how do you manage it all… A successful home based business, a great marriage, 2 children and a dog! How do you fit it all in? Being successful in Business means learning to keep the main thing, the main thing, and prioritising what needs to be done, and what can wait. The reason my husband and I started a Home Based business was to be able to have more time freedom and more choice. The last thing we wanted to do when we sacked the boss, was to go from those kind of “employee constraints” ie, asking for time off to see your child’s school concert or to have some time to have a family holiday. We can work 4 - 5 hours a day when our kids are in school and totally create enough contacts and business within this time. We network with people everywhere we go and some of our best business is actually done when we’re just out living our life! When we tell people we’re off to Puerto Rico for one of our Personal Development conferences that we market, we typically get a response of “oh wow - lucky you”! Who wouldn’t want the time freedom and choices we have? It’s a lifestyle business and we can honestly just share how we live and people want a part of that. Who wants to seriously work 40 - 50 hours a week anymore, not forgetting the time wasted travelling to and from an office? When you can literally commute to your office with a few steps, coffee in hand and possibly being still in your pyjamas - you know that you’re in control and life is good! Make it a great day!
