The Rainbow of Success
The Rainbow of Success
The dictionary describes success as the accomplishment of what is desired or aimed at, achievement, the attainment of wealth, fame, prosperity. For many, success translates to dollars and is a measure of your bank account. Some think of it in terms of prestige and the size of home you have, keeping up with the Jones or the location of your office.
Think of people you know and what makes them successful, chances are there are some defining characteristics. I look back at family members and those who are no longer with us and think in their terms what was success?
What does this thing called success mean for you? Of course the financial stripe on the rainbow of success is very important. But if that is the only stripe on your rainbow it will look like a rainbow on a dull day!
Rainbows are rare. To see them you have to have the right combination of storm and sunshine. What would it be like if you approached those stormy times in your life with more sunshine?
Get your crayons out and draw your rainbow put as many colours on it as you can but choose wisely. Let’s look at the colours:
Purple – In many cultures purple is the colour of spirit/faith. What are your beliefs? Are you following their lead?
Blue – Just like the great oceans are you, how calm and accepting are you? Are you plodding along through life or are you giving it your all?
Magenta – Is your life full of passion? Do you wake up everyday to the sizzling sensation of being alive?
Red – What is your show stopper? What is your gift to the world? Are you following your heart or your head?
Yellow – How alive are you? Are you being the powerful and beautiful ray of light you were meant to be?
Green – Remember your connection here on earth to all things living. Are your feet on the ground? Do you live with and honour your responsibilities?
The colours and meanings in your rainbow of success will be as unique as you. Create a visual to remind you of what is important. To reinforce your priorities and to add more success to your life, every morning get quiet and visualize this wonderful rainbow surrounding you with its light.
One of the great spiritual or goal setting techniques is to start with the end in mind. How do you wish to be remembered? When you get to the end of your time here what will you be most proud of? What will you treasure the most?
For most of us it is the love we have shared with others, our family and friends; the good works we have done to make the world a better place; a life packed full with no regrets.
What will your legacy be and what will be in your pot of gold?

In our society, success is one of those over used words. I like to think of success as a rainbow with many vibrant colours that make life worth living and that illusive pot of gold at the end.
The dictionary describes success as the accomplishment of what is desired or aimed at, achievement, the attainment of wealth, fame, prosperity. For many, success translates to dollars and is a measure of your bank account.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
