How To Achieve Success Beyond Work
Success beyond work means achieving personal goals in addition to work-related goals.Thus our work is a means to an end...not an end in itself.
Success at our work is a step...albeit a very important step...towards our ultimate success in life.
People who succeed at work or in their business by achieving desired work-related results.
By the same token, success in life...or success beyond work...is measured by achieving desired personal results.
Three key factors contribute to your success beyond work:
- setting and achieving personal goals
- effective work-time management
- aligning your personal and business goals

Setting And Achieving Personal Goals
The process of setting and achieving personal goals is the same as it is for business goals.
The process start by identifying your personal core values.
Once you have identified these values, the next step is to set smart goals that define specific desired results that you would like to achieve.
Typically, work or business goals are set out in a personal marketing plan. This plan serves as a blue print or road map to your success in your work.
Similarly, personal goals are set out in a personal growth plan. This plan serves as a blue print or road map to your success beyond work.

Aligning Your Personal And Business Goals
To increase the likelihood of enjoying success in your work and success beyond work, the key is to ensure that your personal and business goals are aligned.What this means is that when you achieve your business goals, you also achieve your personal goals.
Let's say for example, that one of your personal goals is to accumulate a specific level of wealth.
By achieving a desired level of profit, you are not only achieving a business goal...but you are also helping to achieve your personal goal of generating wealth.
In effect, your personal and business goals are so inter-related that by achieving one set of goals you are simultaneously working to achieve the other set.
When you understand and apply the common elements of achieving success both in your work and personal lives, will be well prepared to achieve your personal success.
Imagine how great that will feel!

What Is Your Best Success Tip?
With your help...and the help of other people like you...I plan to create the best online source of success tips.
I recognize that you are already very business with your regular activities and do not have much time available for new projects. So, I have made it as easy as I possibly can for you to contribute.
Simply complete the form at the bottom of this page and I will do the rest. This will allow you to share your experience with others...and also help them succeed...but with the absolute minimum amount of time required.
Once I receive your tip, I will do a light edit to ensure that it reads well. This edit will also eliminate any typos or other gremlins that may have found their way into what you wrote.
Then I will add your tip...with its own URL...to the site. If you wish, I will send you the link so that you can tell colleagues and clients where to find the web page that you created. Imagine your pride in being featured on the best online source of success tips.
Once a month I will select from the previous month's tips two individuals as Exemplary Service Providers.
One of these Exemplary Service Providers will be from the USA and the other from outside the USA.
I will use the following two criteria in selecting Exemplary Service Providers:
- how well the tip exemplifies one or more themes of this website.
- how well the tip exemplifies the principles of client service as discussed throughout the site.
When I select you as an Exemplary Service Provider, I will advise you by email. At that time I will also request any additional information I need for your Exemplary Service Provider profile.
Like your best success tip, your Exemplary Service Provider profile will have its own URL.
However, unlike your best success tip, your profile will be promotional in nature. Not only will it feature you as an Exemplary Service Provider, it will also promote the benefits that clients can expect to receive from your ability to deliver exemplary service.
Think of what a powerful promotional tool this will be...and how effectively it will help you attract even more clients.
