Balance
I have been reading the postings about the book, “The Boss in You”. It sounds like a really good read and a good way to clarify your thinking if becoming a boss is on your agenda. Lorissa’s posting, “Define your own success” comments on an extract from the book about defining what counts as success for you and this seems a really worthwhile thing to think about.
As I’ve become older I recognise that I have to earn enough to live on, but I don’t want to spend all my time working. A good work life balance is my idea of success. I believe that sufficient income to keep paying the bills, combined with enough time to spend with my family and also a little time to pursue interests is my idea of success. Recognising that people’s ideas and aims change over time makes this a very worthwhile exercise and one worth repeating at regular intervals.
What are other people’s ideas on success?

I figure if I’m happy and meeting my full potential, then I am successful.

I’m nearly finished with this book and I can’t stop recommending it enough. I was lucky enough to interview Lauren & Emira (now I just need to edit it already) and they’ve got a wealth of knowledge that they’re more than willing to share and I love that about them.
