Success: It's An Inside Job

Hi there groovers

I am back from glorious Byron Bay where I am pleased to tell you my boogie board skill are improving dramatically. Even Rob was surprised with my efforts - I was 'out the back' with the Big Kids and catching some pretty darn big waves. Yay for me ;)

Since I launched my Inner Circle Success Coaching Club, I've been mulling over the meaning of success and how it interferes with your life.

SUCCESS. Even the word is a little slippery! The word means something different for each person: for some it's a million dollars in the bank. For others, it's being able to take a day off once a week. For yet others, it means being able to groom your pet cat without losing an eyeball.

Fact is, if you want success to be meaningful for you, you've got to focus on the REAL ball game.

Success is not about things.

Success is about feelings.

When you are 'successful', it is by your own definition. And if you want to be a real success, you've got to define that definition so it actually helps you get where you want to go.

And the only way to get where you want to go in a hurry is by doing everything possible to empower yourself.

So it makes sense if you define success in a way that makes you feel AMAZING, POWERFUL, STRONG, UNTOUCHABLE, and UNSTOPPABLE. With those kinds of feelings and that kind of kick-butt, take-no-prisoners attitude, then the world is your oyster.

So what' a good success definition?

One that you have total and complete control over.

Let's try some on for size. Fill in the blank:

"I know I am successful when..."

I earn a million dollars OR I contribute my very best each day to the world.

I have the big house in Yarralumla OR I love where I am right here right now, every day.

I am the recognised expert in my my field OR I learn and teach something powerful each day.

I have a hot sexy body OR I treat my body with respect and care and love.

See the difference?

The first ones are all external markers, and you don't have exclusive control over them. Plus, you're hanging out for an outcome that may be years away in order to feel successful (read: feel happy).

Folks, life is about living NOW, today. So choose your thoughts, focus, and feelings TODAY that feel good, powerful, and unstoppable.

Here's to your success, in all manners of speaking.
