A Shocking Finding Among Our Clients

This might surprise you. 

When we begin with a new client we have them create success statements. This helps us to be sure the actions they are taking are in line with what they really want in life.  

Something interesting has come out of this practice: none of those success statements refer to money.  The statements we have seen have nothing to do with money and everything to do with people...primarily, family and friends. 

Most say something like:

“to me, success is giving my children opportunities I didn't have”

or 

“I want to create a lifestyle where I spend more time with my family than at work”

or 

“I want to be traveling the world with my friends”

or … one of the most interesting ones to me is when people who are young and single and their main motivation is:

“creating a life for my family that I might have in 5 or 10 years.” 

Not money, not things....people. Do we need financial resources to help with these things?  Yes....we do, but the feeling we are looking for shouldn't take us 5 years to experience.

Here's the question I pose to all of us today: why are we waiting? I challenge you right now to connect with people today, or this weekend...why wait? 

Success, my friend, is a phone call away.  Success is attainable right now.  This mini session has no call to action regarding our coaching or our podcast...because our idea of success is to help you have success and it's most likely you spending time with your loved ones. 

Set up something fun with your people this week...enjoy them and enjoy that feeling of success sooner rather than later.
