How To Improve Your Social Circle To Match Your New Lifestyle

Practice does make as close to perfect as you can get in the real world. Every day you set out and focus on mastering good habits to change your life, shape you into the person you are striving to become. Never allow anything or anyone to cloud your judgment, makes smart, calculated decisions in every situation. Thinking about getting married? Make sure to look at all the benefits and obstacles you will face. Children are not a toy that you can put on the shelves when you don't feel like playing with them anymore. If you decide to have, a child makes sure you gave thought it through. The process of buying a home, moving to a new location is new country, state, changing life habits like adapting to new religions are stressful and overwhelming. Remember we talk a little about assets and what they mean? You can now use those assets to continue to add value to your life. When I look at people and objects now I always think “ is this going to cost me money or make me money?” Thinking in such a manner may seem harsh, but stop and look at the facts first. A relationship should not just cost you time and money; you have to get something out of it too, so be careful about how you deal with friends and family.

Every day is a new opportunity to change your life for the better. With each improvement make sure you are always taking a step forward. Working to improve your life mean your income will grow, so improve your social standing as well. When you achieve a higher status in life, start networking with the social circle you want to be part off. Scheduling a power lunch with important business partners are a great idea. Take your family to special events and introduce them to what you do and the people you work with. Making new friends can be tricky sometimes, make sure your new friends are not around just for the benefits they can get off of you. It is important that people in your life can enjoy your current hobbies and lifestyle with you at their personal cost.

I can remember inviting someone to go out sometimes, and all the expense would fall on me. I was responsible for transportation, costs, and by the end of the day I was not happy with us going out. Seek friends that are in the same social class as you for both of you to contribute and enjoy your time together.

Dealing with friends and family can be two of your biggest obstacle's when you want to change your social status. Some may feel threatened while others are just comfortable and do not want to change. It is up to you to decide where you want to go at this point. Listen carefully when people around you talk, the words a person chooses are the core value of that individual. That is why you need to understand sometimes you may have to end a long-term friendship to move forward. Now that you want to improve your life and those around you ignore negative feedback's. Just like you are choosing to continue to build your life it is their choice to stay behind, don't force the issue. Too often people decide with their hearts instead of using the facts. You are working hard and deserve every reward that comes as a result. Misery loves company if you have people that are lazy in your life they will want you to be lazy with them. Watch out for those bad apples, you improve your life and so can those around you so never let them manipulate your thoughts. Too often I see lazy people complaining about a situation instead of looking for answers to solve the problem. If you offer a solution, they have twenty reasons why they can't use your solution. One of the biggest problem in a household is not having enough money to support the family expenses. That is why we talk about creating a business to control your income.

Coming from an ordinary background does not dictate how high in the social latter you can climb. If you want to be in a higher class build yourself up with Etiquette, join the right clubs and meet the people you want to move in those circles. One of the best ways to meet new people for me is attending events, seminars, or webinars. Sometimes you never know who you are going to meet, it could be other people like you or a chairman of a company. Don't be shy and bring out all the charisma you have inside of you. To build confidence learn about the event, read on the people that will attend and speak, also bring your business cards to network. Using strategies like these make you feel confident because you have your education to back you up. If something comes up you are not too sure about directly asking a question, that is never a bad thing. People that are in your life are always going to take something from you. You can choose to have people that just take from you or ones that take but also give back. Meeting the right people change your life, that is why you now want to have the right people in your circle.

It is natural to move up in the social latter once you start gaining success. Moving up is not deserting you past or forgetting who you are. Anyone that say different either wants you to fail or is scared you will leave them behind. Those with negative thoughts for you leave them be because your time is money. Anyone you care about shows them how they can also succeed and move higher on that latter with you.

Do You Have Core Values: Why You Should Start Creating Some Today

Your life is more than going to work and paying bills; you should do what makes you happy. The best advice in life is to follow your passion, do what makes your soul come alive. It is simple, take what you believe in and turn that into your career. Once you define your core values, everything becomes clear as day. You start living with more passion; your life has a purpose again.

Who are you on the inside? Answer that simple question and it will make all the difference in your life. Think of just about any company you know or work for, there is always a business value. Using a strategy help to state clearly what the company us about and what they stand for. Creating your personal core values is simply once you explicitly create and start maintaining them.

Clearly articulate your core values in writing. Having values, you believe in mean that you live by those values. Everyday decisions, actions, and thoughts should reflect those values. One's personal core values are a guideline which they live by to make decisions and choices. Most people wonder how their life turn out if control. It is because you are most likely just living with no guidance and going with what others say. Having your personal code of honor to follow and upholding that code help you live a more fulfilled, rewarding lifestyle.

Your time and money are your most valuable personal resources. Build core values that help you maximize and utilize both efficiently. Once you start building personal relationships, thinking of business partners, or even where you live your core values become essential. No two people have the exact Core values to match one another, but we use them to make most decisions in our lives. Simply put, I created my core values to take control of my life, to think for myself, and build a future I can be proud of.

These are my top three core values that have made a dramatic impact on my life:

Personal Health and Fitness

Most people never think twice about investing in their health. The hard truth is that your body will need even more of that TLC as you age. One of my top values in life is to take care of my body, mentally and physically. I remember reading one of the best quotes I have ever come across

“ Take care of your body, It's the only place you have to live by Jim Rhon."

Over the years when I was younger physical fitness was never important to me, I look good so I ignorantly thought I must be healthy. That was far from the truth, looking back I remember always being tired, having trouble sleeping, and just not feeling good on most days. Fast forward years later I make it a point to be as healthy as I can every day. I have no time to waste on energy lost or feeling sick from eating something unhealthy. Health is important to me because I understand without your health nothing gets done. You can't run your business; you can enjoy family and friends, or travel and experience the wonders in this world. I make it a point to exercise three days a week doing cardio and strength training, why? To keep my body healthy and get my feel good vibe going. Taking care of a business takes time, energy to performing at optimum level. Some of the most successful people today, they all talk about how they make time to take care of their health mentally and physically. Maintaining your health allow you to age gracefully. You will be able to do things in your 80s that you did in your 30s. I value my health because I want to not only create a luxury lifestyle, but I want to live a long healthy life to enjoy that lifestyle.

Financial freedom

Anyone who says money does not make a difference in your life either never had to go without money or they never had enough money in their life to make a dramatic lifestyle change. I value Financial freedom because I want to achieve a lifestyle that I can be proud of. I am creating a business to help others and myself reach our personal goals without waiting for someone else to hand us an opportunity. The world revolves around money, no two way about it, the best thing you can do is to learn to play the game of money. Learn to not only get in the game and WIN!.

I was never a person that worried about money because I always had just enough to take care of my bills. Then one day I had no job, no savings, and a mountain of debts that was staring back at me with no way to pay it. That is when I learn the real meaning of money in this world; it means freedom! Financial freedom is important to me not just because of the money because it is the only true freedom in this world to live a full life. Living a poor lifestyle has thought me some valuable lessons that I would not trade for the world. It was pretty much me deeply asleep, and someone was throwing a bucket of cold water on my face to wake me up. It was worth the shock because that wake-up call was the beginning of my journey to financial freedom.

Financial freedom is more than just having money; that was more than clear to me. My core value in achieving real financial freedom is more into having the freedom to do the things I genuinely enjoy in life. To others, it may seem all about the money, but to me having financial freedom is gaining the success to allow me time and privilege to make the absolute best out of life.

Giving back to the world

I moved to the United States when I was very young from the West Indies. We did not live in the streets, but we did not have much. Our family lived in one room with family for months until we could move out in our place. I always remember people helping my family when they could, and I can personally tell you that helping others is one of the greatest gifts you can give.

I am a firm believer in giving back to the world. If you are grateful for everything you have, you may want to consider giving back a little to the world. Having a core value that enables you to think of others help you grow in so many ways. By global standards, if you own a car, you can eat a warm meal a day, have the security of a home, and some other simple creature comfort you are rich. Giving back not only benefit others but it helps you even if you don't realize it. You learn to appreciate simple things like your health when you see a sick person; you can find pure joy by smiling with a child that you volunteer with for the day. Volunteering helps me learn character traits about myself I never though I possess. You can even expand your social circle with the people you meet at these events. Be the kind of person you want to be around, if you want to attract a positive lifestyle start living it.

“We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.” Winston Churchill

How can you start to give back?

Everyone has something they can share with the world, a set of skills, time, and if you are able your money that will contribute to others.

Why You Work Smart, Not Hard

How often do you see a company handed to a CEO for doubling profit in a year? In the real world that is not even a possibility, companies are in business to make money. When you work for a company no matter the position you are what you are, an employee. No matter how hard you work, the outcome is just a bonus and Or a promotion for a job well done. The company's yearly profits and new ideas you brought to the business stays in that company year after year. So how about “learning to build a business that supports YOUR lifestyle.”

Time is an incredible but limited resource because once it is gone, you can never get it back. That is why you need to learn to make the most out of it. Falling to a low point in life is embarrassing, degrading, and just soul crushing. Nothing breaks the human spirit like poverty, building a business to support your lifestyle will change who you are for the better. I learn the hard way that whoever control your money control you. So the solution was creating my income stream to control when, how, and how much income I receive. Physically working for money is grueling work, hard labor for little pay. I quickly realize that to gain success I needed to implement others to help me. Your core-self defines your success in life with the actions you take. Building healthy habits ensure my success in managing my money, earning a living income, and continuing to improve my life. Your work hard for your money, get rewarded by having your money work for you in return.

Money travel around the world every day through banks, businesses, and just your everyday people. All you have to do is tap into those funds to start your business. Use donations from others for your cause, offer information for a small fee, conduct workshops to provide classes and training to earn the funds your business require. When I started working on my own business, I regularly heard some of the same statements from people.

“Self-employed people have to work all the time because they have to do everything themselves.”

“To start a business, you need a lot of money and a big college degree.”

“It took me forever to pay off my debts, and I have an excellent job, how will you support yourself with no job.”

“In this economy, if you do not have a steady job that provides a steady paycheck every two weeks you can not make a living income.”

I never let anything others say discourage me because no two people are alike. Others opinion are their own, not a reflection on what you want to do with your life. “I have always found that keeping family and business separate keeps you mind clear, and allows me to make calculated decisions.” The idea is to use your education to grow rich, not hard labor. Do your research, come to a decision based on facts that create wealth.
