Are You Successful?
By Eileen Hebert

When you started working in your field did set certain goals for yourself?  Perhaps those goals included attaining a particular job title or position. 

If so you probably did things like most people do when striving for such achievements.  Examples might include: showing up for work everyday (even if you were ill), taking on extra assignments (perhaps even some that cause you excessive work/work hours), dressing for the position you want rather than the one you have (supposedly a trick of the trade).

Let’s assume that these methods worked.  You got the promotion that you desired.  Yes, you make more money in this position but this position is salaried.  You are now working 50 – 55 hours per week instead of 40.  After putting all those hours on a regular basis you have less of you to give at home.

Suddenly it seems that everything has gone wrong.  All that you worked so hard for seems to have been wasted.  Or was it?  You do have job status.  You have learned a lot.  You have more money.  Your time and attendance record is outstanding.  Your evaluations have been marveled over. You are making the company a fortune.

But you are working so many hours and the pressure is terrible.  You are questioning whether you are truly “successful”.  From all outward appearances you are the picture of success.  Anyone would assume you were thrilled with your accomplishments.  You’re almost embarrassed to complain.  But deep down you know you don’t want to spend the rest of your working days like this.  What can you do?

You should start by evaluating what it is that you truly want.  What type of work would make you happy?  For most people the answer to this is work based on something they care about, something they enjoy.  Most people want control over their time which gives them a sense of control over their life.

Does this sound like you?  Do you feel as though control is what’s missing form your life?  Home business owners are definitely in control of their time, their earnings potential and most areas of their life.  Most “successful” individuals have what it takes to succeed in a home business.  Check out the possibilities!

Eileen,
I really enjoyed our session. All the ideas you had for me will defiantly help my business grow and establish me as an expert in my field. You have really encouraged me and inspired me to be creative and to think of so many ways I can generate more business. I have already used one of the ideas you gave me and am working on so many more. This past holiday weekend we had the best week at the store since it has opened and I know it is a direct cause of applying what we discussed.  I would definitely encourage anyone who needs some great advice and direction to work with you.  Please use my testimonial to encourage others. Thank you for your help.

Dear Eileen,
More was gained from my 90 minute consultation than from years of wading and wandering through the available information attempting to find a plan.  I felt understood as a unique individual.  The information and ideas learned were both inspiring and practical regarding opportunities I'd already wondered about plus many more I'd never considered.  There is clarity in the immediate steps I'm now taking doing things that I enjoy plus I learned of many resources I hadn't known existed to look into during the coming weeks and months.  Now, I have the beginnings of a flexible, workable plan and the awareness that I really can create the life I want to live and have the means to support that life.

Hi Eileen,
What a great idea! It's fresh and new and definitely has a lot of potential. I've never heard of anyone doing anything like that. And my husband could help me with the business cards as we have a computer program for that. Yes, I would definitely have to get a portfolio put together. Hmmm......there are a lot of possibilities with this idea. Thanks so much for the suggestion. I will definitely think about it. :-)
