Capital Foundation of a Successful “One”

The judgement of success is relative but in my mind the successful “one” is balanced in all areas of his or her life. Not only does this person have wealth but good health and a never ending desire to improve their knowledge of things and interest’s in people.

I recently got picked up by a wealthy client upon climbing into their car I was surprised to see this person with great financial strength driving around in a car that was quite cluttered with papers, empty coffee cups and clothing. I changed our plans and made our first stop the car wash. I spent a few minutes organizing the mess that could not be disposed of and then threw out the trash. Upon leaving the car wash I looked over at my client to see a transformation, it looked as though he had lost 10 pounds. He sat up straighter and his conversation was less scattered. He thanked me as the success of his career may have been taking off as of late but there was a lack of balance which was manifesting within his car.

Take an inventory today of your surroundings and within yourself and if any one area is lacking give it some attention. If it means heading to the gym for a short walk on the treadmill to improve your “heart” rate or cleaning your car or your house so that it is welcoming for your friends and co-workers at a minutes notice. Be the one who feels comfortable including others in your space because that space is representative of your capital foundation and it’s strength.

Your welfare and happiness will surely advance to greater heights with improved organization and qualities like intelligence, aptitude and a healty body. Improving your success internally and externally and having them match with who you say you are will give you more credibility. Make sure you’re surroundings are reflective of all of you.
