Don't create a stream of success & drown in it!

 As you are creating your stream of income don’t get drowned by your own success.
 
Trying to go from where you are to where you want to be can be a daunting task. 
Often the journey is filled with the highs of progressions and the lows of setbacks. 
Anyone can give us the advice of “keep going”, but is that the only advice we need?
 
What about advice on how to recharge & keep yourself floating above the waves of stress?
In order to float you need buoyancy.  









                     



You need as much support from those who support you as you have weight upon you.  That is how you achieve buoyancy!  The more weight you have on you the more support you need.  Your support team can be your family, friends, even business partners.  Business partners are okay as long as they know how to leave work at work.  If you can’t enjoy a good time out without turning it into a business meeting then you might want to leave those folks back at the office.
 
YOUR FRIENDS ARE NOT THERE JUST TO SUPPORT YOUR BUSINESS!
THEY ARE THERE TO SUPPORT YOUR DREAMS AND CHEER YOU ON. 
Don’t cut people off just because they don’t do what you do.
 
Who is there to keep you lifted?

Don’t lose who you are in pursuit of what you want.   I am asking us all to find ways to spend time with those that support us.  To unplug from the weight of success or what we want.  Plug into the source of the power that will carry you to your shores of success.   You may not have a lot of time but just make it some quality time.
 
We all need to take time away from our goals like rest stops on a journey.  Rest stops WERE INVENTED TO REST, get out of the vehicle (job) and take pictures.   Even on a cruise the ship stops into different ports so we can enjoy what every destination has to offer.  What are your rest stops in life and do you schedule them?
 
Just like we schedule success we have to schedule enjoyment.  There was a time I did not understand this principal.  I would work even when not at work.  I thought working “aint to faint” is what it took to have success.  This type of focus wears on you and when you don’t recharge you become less effective.  Plus it wears on the people around you.  I have seen people lose marriages, friendships and fall into bad health.  All because they spent too much time only focused on the goal.
 
Which day or night is set aside strictly for your enjoyment?  I remember when my family set aside every Sunday for family dinner night.  All of us got together at my mothers home and brought our families.  Those times have long past since many of us have moved and our kids are in college.  I am so thankful that it lasted as long as it did.  Those times will forever be the glue that keeps us connected no matter how far apart we are.  Those times also kept us grounded and recharged.  It was at a time when my siblings and I were all creating successful careers.  The stresses of the week were challenging and coming together once a week put our why back into perspective.
 
The reality is you are not your job, your money, your success or your possessions.
There are only two things a human being leaves behind that will benefit the future: his deeds and his words!  The people that will remember our deeds, and our words the best, are the people around us.  Let’s make sure we don’t forget them.  Let’s make sure we spend time with them.  Let them be the blessing to us they were meant to be.  What good would is it to get to the finish line only to find you don’t recognize anyone there? Our support system will be the ones waving the checkered flag as we cross the finish line to our success.

Is it all about you, or the future? Are you Selfish or Supportive?

Is your success all about you?  Is it about creating a better future for yourself and others?
Is the world a better place with 100 billionaires or would it be better with 1,000,000,000 millionaires?
*Currently it is projected there will be 53 Millionaire by 2019

Can you find a way to mentor a few people while you are actively moving on the path to success.

The world needs more FINISHERS!                          www.runningwithfinishers.com 

Too many people work to build something and all they leave behind is a great story.  Why?
Because they had a dream and built something but forgot to be a FINISHER for someone else.  I truly don't think people intend to be selfish.  I believe that people get so caught up in creating personal success they forget to create success for a successor at the same time.  It is the difference between doing addition and multiplication. 

We need to think multiplication.  While you are building one you can be creating two.  How?  Finding someone to help you along your success journey.  One or two people to help you but at the same time they are learning from you.  They are watching how you create success and learning from your mistakes as well.  Keep these folks by your side and as the dream becomes bigger you now have people to help you grow. This could be the start of legacy success.

When you leave behind a legacy it creates success that continues to grow long after you are no longer involved.  
This is what we all want.  At least I hope it is.  To build something, create something, start a vision that extends well beyond our years on earth.  It takes a person to not only run on the path to success but to have the presence of mind to take a few people along for the journey. 

Just think for a moment on who came along in your life and inspired you to do more.  Was there someone in your profession that was having success that you gravitated towards?  Was there a person at the job you followed closely to pattern yourself after?  

We all need to be about building the future while we exist in the present.  All it takes is to have an abundance mentality.  The scarcity mentally thinks that there are not enough resources to go around therefore all ventures need to have as few people as possible involved.  These types of people fear competition. They fear sharing ideas and letting people bring new ideas.  They fear a person will learn what they do and go out to take over.

No!  Rarely is that the case.  Typically you find that the student learns from the teacher and later they both benefit from doing business together.  This is how we duplicate success rather than just add to success.  Just think at one point there were only 4 major television broadcasting stations.  They tried to hold on as long as possible for fear someone else would steal the views and they would lose money.  Look at TV now.  100's of networks and even more sources of viewing being created everyday.  Sharing the wealth benefits the viewer because now we have more choices.  There is so much abundance to go around. 

How many successful business came from working for Bill Gates and Microsoft?
How many successful car companies and leaders emerged by following Henry Ford?
How many successful entertainers learned the business and gained fame by watching Quincy Jones?

Stop what you are doing!!!!!

Would you benefit from some additional help?  Are there some sharp young people around you that you can mentor and help them learn what you do?  Could you not only train your replacement but start someone else on a path to wealth?

Last note: When you create a greater economy for one person you may be creating generational wealth for 100's of people for years to come. 

Thanks for reading!
