That Defining Moment

We’ve all had ups and downs in our lives.  Too often, a major obstacle or failure becomes a defining moment.  They say that you learn more from your failures than your successes. That’s only if you don’t let a major downer define your life and limit your dreams and aspirations.

Instead, learn to overcome that one crucial mistake, that failed relationship or that devastating disappointment by using it as motivation to take your life or your business to the next level.  It isn’t easy to put the past in the past, but it is vital in order to rebuild self-confidence, restore relationships, or redefine your goals for the future.

No one is perfect.  Everyone has failed.  But the difference between failure and success is a very fine line, often dictated by how you perceive it, and how you perceive yourself.  Failure can be success if we learn from it.  So take some time today to reflect on that defining moment in your life and use it for good.

Here are a few Business & Life Tips to think about….

Business Tips:

• Complacency is a fear of high achievers, and it should be a fear for everyone. When we are no longer motivated, it’s over.
• Successful companies take ideas and form strategy, take strategy and form structure, and take structure and form action plans.
• Good or bad, the culture of a company is established and maintained by its leadership and manifests itself through its people.

Life Tips:

• This is a good day to ask, “Where am I going, why am I going there, when will I get there, and what can I expect when I arrive?
• To tackle a huge undertaking, break it down into smaller segments; reaching each mini- milestone helps to achieve the major goal.
• Care and credibility are critical to all meaningful relationships, and meaningful relationships are key to life and business success.
