Success is a journey that demands sacrifices, commitment, and a strategic approach to managing time. Reflecting on one individual's experience, it becomes evident that the cost of success is indeed worth it, particularly when it allows a person to work for passion rather than money. This post delves into their journey, the lessons learned, and the principles that have guided them.

For five years, my guest didn't sleep for more than four hours a day. This was the price paid to establish initial success in properties. During this period, they chose jobs that allowed control over their time, working from 2:30 PM to 11:30 PM or sometimes until 1:00 AM, which gave the mornings for personal growth and business development. The core lesson here is that whoever controls your time controls your destiny. It's not about who controls your money but your time.

In network marketing, while selling broadband and telephone services, my guest made an average of £450 a week in addition to their salary. Embracing rejection was key, understanding that out of every ten calls, at least one would result in a positive response. Over time, the conversion rate improved, but the key was perseverance and not fearing rejection.

A critical aspect of financial stability and wealth creation is having multiple income sources. Smart believes in having at least four income streams. Job security alone does not lead to wealth; jobs provide enough to sustain and act as a seed for creating wealth. Wealth creation comes from owning assets that generate income, such as properties, stocks, or shares.

In the Western world, a credit record is more critical than a job or career. A poor credit record can have severe consequences, such as losing job opportunities or being denied mortgages. Managing finances prudently and maintaining a good credit score is essential.

Understanding one's strengths and weaknesses is vital. Focusing on strengths and outsourcing tasks that fall within weaknesses is important. Continuous learning is also crucial; reading books, seeking information, and staying informed are key. Avoiding distractions from social media and using time wisely, even during idle moments like waiting in traffic or at the doctor's office, is essential.

Success requires dedication, strategic time management, and continuous growth. Controlling time, embracing rejection, diversifying income, and leveraging unique talents are crucial. Surrounding oneself with successful individuals, maintaining good financial health, and appreciating the journey are essential. By following these principles, one can achieve not only financial success but also a fulfilling and purposeful life.

Today's episode focuses on a driving question in my life: why do we do what we do? Before diving into that, I want to share a personal story. On May 21st, I was in a car accident with my son. Despite demolishing a bus stop and our vehicle tumbling twice, we escaped with minor scratches by God's grace. This incident reinforced my commitment to share valuable information to impact lives positively.

In this episode, I'll discuss seven areas crucial for a fulfilled life. These include physical health, financial mastery, relationship enrichment, spiritual growth, emotional well-being, vocational fulfilment, and social connection. Balancing these areas is essential for a complete life. For example, nurturing your physical health is foundational, as we're spiritual beings having a physical experience.

Lastly, I'll share upcoming interviews with people who've succeeded in unique ways and are making significant changes locally and globally. Success is a journey of daily growth, not a destination. So, let's explore these seven life areas together. If you find the information useful, like, share, and comment on how you're implementing it in your life.

I'm from Kenya, and when I came to UK I used to tell my wife, I'm not a rabbit. I don't eat green vegetables. I eat refined food, i.e., meat and carbs. How ignorant I was, and I'm so glad that she never gave up on encouraging me to eat right. She introduced me to salads and supplements, and I think, wow, that was a God-sent lady.

Exercise. Are you taking physical exercise? Do you go for a walk? Are you stretching? Are you breathing right? What about rest? Do you sleep enough, or are you chasing money? Without sleep, rest, and nutrition, your body ages faster. Now, let's talk about emotional well-being. I've worked in mental health hospitals, and life can be challenging. Certain circumstances may overwhelm us, and sometimes it's not our fault.

Now, vocational fulfilment involves finding purpose in your work. Discover what you are created to do. Align your job with your unique gifts, because fulfilling work enriches life. Balancing professional success with personal fulfilment is crucial. Financial mastery is also vital. Align financial goals with personal values. Don’t outsource financial responsibility; take charge yourself. Learn to make, keep, and multiply money for growth and expansion.

Relationship enrichment involves effective communication, conflict resolution, and building trust. Improve relationships by starting with self-improvement. Social connections are crucial; build networks that work. Embrace diversity, empathy, and social responsibility. Lastly, spiritual growth is about connecting with the divine and inner wisdom. We are all spiritual beings, and cultivating mindfulness, gratitude, and inner peace is essential. Focus on all seven areas of life for balance, fulfilment, and success.

Life is a journey that every single one of us needs to engage in personally. So the seven areas of life is just to offer a holistic roadmap for personal development and empowerment. By nurturing each one of these seven areas, you can achieve balance, fulfilment and lasting success.

#1) Earn IT!! WORK SMART:

How do you earn your living?

There are two ways to make an ethical living, you work and money works. Employ BOTH…

Money makes an EXCELLENT #servant and a Horrible Master!

If your only reason for working is money, you are trapped in a rat race. Exiting the 'rat race' will require a shift in #Mindset… from working for money to working to provide value and rewarded with money among other benefits.

If you find yourself with more month than money, to is a sign you need to re-evaluate your priorities. A change of heart and mind [#repentance] is necessary for this to happen.

To win the #Money Game, you'll need a side #hustle… that is another money topic for another day.

#Parenting Tip!

If you have children, train them the value of hard work. #Chores are a great way to start, and it also increases the probability that they will take care of their #environment better in your absence.

#Work!

Work is not a dirty word. You and I were created to create. This is all work.

#Affirmation:

I love my work and I am well compensated for the value I bring to the marketplace.
