If there is one word in our lives that seems to elude definition, the word might be " success." The word means different things to different people at different times in their lives. As someone who has coached and trained people nearly forty years, I have often tried to find a generic definition could offer my students for consideration. Actually I have not found the perfect definition so far, at least as far as the definition of the amount of money you need to feel that you succeed .
I want to be very clear measure of success in itself covers a multitude of areas beyond just the amount of money you may have. Other things like good health, strong relationships and where you live , how to balance work and private life all you notice when you try to set the overall success . Financial success is just one component of your overall sense of success.
Definition of success must be elastic because the individual is personal to behold. Success is a feeling. This is not something tangible. Of course, varies with the aspirations of the individual in search of it. That said, the amount of money you make and stays in power almost always affect other important elements of your life. In this spirit , the financial part of success is what I will focus in this article.
So, how much money do you really need to succeed ? Well, it depends . Well, lets go back a little so we can define " financial success " In particular, we can answer the question .
I'd like to take credit for this definition of success, but my wife shared with me after hearing he said in a seminar recently attended . The seminar was organized by commodity , currency and very successful stockbroker and coach Oliver Bevel.
He defines success as , to paraphrase here, like " never have to say no when you mean yes. " It's about as succinct as possible.
Therefore, in response to the question " How much you " need "to be successful? " I suggest you examine their basic living needs , basic needs and fundamental values. For most people , self-examination , not being able to buy an NFG football team or your own private jumbo jet must not let them feel that they have failed.
If you can say "yes" to provide the basics of life for you and your loved ones , you should feel success. If you are able to enjoy a family holiday or leisure favorites , you must feel success. If you can maintain a decent standard of living in retirement , you should feel success. If you can afford to be generous to others at some level , you should feel success. If you have good and supportive friends who share your life, you should feel success .
Wanting more than physically, and below should not hurt your feeling of overall success. Hunting as much as you feel you want , but it is wrong to link the results of your search for your feelings of success and self esteem .
