Success: Business and Personal

Working with people is a reward. Working with businesses is also a reward. It is difficult to determine which is more rewarding or which gives me the most satisfaction. Both feel very important to me when I am working. Both feel very important to my clients as we work together to make changes with both. Business and personal are often treated as two separate categories. I suppose the reason my work is so rewarding is that the two categories really blend together. In fact, they not only blend, but directly affect one another. That’s right, business affects personal and personal affects business. No matter how we attempt to separate them, they remain similar and dependent on each other.

How does this work? Well, let’s take a look at a person…any random person that you may know. They have a job, a family and friends. They went to school and are now working in a field that they have always wanted to work. There are good days and bad, but overall, there is a general satisfaction around this person’s personal and business life.

But how does this person keep things on track? Let’s take a look at a routine that works. This person has been working on this for a while and has a good grasp of what they need to do in order to be successful in both areas. They know their job well and understand the requirements. Each task is clear and they are able to manage the day to day as well as long-term planning for larger projects. How are they able to do this? With goal setting, motivation and again, clear planning.
On the other side of office walls, this person also has it together. They are able to stay in shape and take care of their body, mind and well-being. How are they able to do this? Well, it is surprisingly similar to what helps them stay on track at work. Each task is clear and they are able to manage the day to day along with long-term planning. They are able to do this with goal setting, motivation and clear planning.

While the actual execution of this lifestyle may be a challenge to start for someone that has not been into it, it can be simple. The best way to make it simple is to bring the two areas together. We know that if you let one area go, eventually the other area will be affected. So, what is the key? Think of it as one area. Your life is one big area that you have control over. By setting goals and planning for what you want, you are able to achieve the life you want. You can live a life full of health, success and most importantly, happiness.
