Success is a reflection of your Self

"The greatest reward in becoming a millionaire is not the amount of money that you earn. It is the kind of person you have to become to earn it in the first place." Jim Rohn


In business it is becoming more frequent for us to come face to face with decisions that not only shape the success or failure of the business, but that also can have a lasting impact on our sense of self as well.


With the current economy and many business leaders having to make very difficult decisions, it is easy to think of this in a negative light, but it doesn't have to be that way. The quote above is a good example. Making tough choices, taking risks, grace under pressure, looking out for others like they are part of your own family, and challenging yourself day after day are traits I associate with people who are successful in both business and in life.

These are uncertain times, but one thing that is certain is that you will always have to live with yourself. No one knows what tomorrow brings, new opportunites and new challenges go hand in hand, but give some thought to the things you can impact today, right now. Make the choices you believe in and are comfortable standing by. That is the way to enjoy the journey of becoming someone you are proud of. And more often than not 'success'- be it making a million dollars, being a great parent, fame, or finding inner peace - will follow close behind.
