When it comes to success in any part of our life you can absolutely be a 10! I know there are those who say that a 10 symbolizes perfection and don’t believe that a 10 is possible. I would suggest that a 10 in success is defined by you, and is therefore completely attainable. You decide what a 10 in success is for you in each significant area of your life, and then set your goals to get there. Break your goals down into Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timed actions (a.k.a SMART) and then take those actions until you achieve success with that goal.

Example:

Let’s say that in terms of your current performance and success you deem yourself to be a 6 in your career role (self-assessed). You decide that in order to be a 10 in the coming year you need to add 24 new clients and increase your personal income by $20,000.00. This represents your current vision of what a 10 in success is for you in your career role, NOT perfection in that role. When you have achieved success in your goal then you are, at the time, a 10 by your own definition. At that point you should enjoy your 10. Celebrate it. Eventually, when you are ready and you have enjoyed your success for a while, you will look around and see that from your new vantage point there are even higher peaks to be scaled, now far more reachable than before because of your success in reaching your previous 10. At that point you can relabel your 10 as an 8, and set a goal for reaching your newly defined 10.

Author and Motivational Speaker Zig Ziglar once said, “Once you have reached the top, you may find what you thought was the top was in fact only a stepping stone to a place even higher up.”

So, what does a 10 in success look like to you? Clarify your vision, set your goals, and go for it. You can be a 10 in Success!

Hi, I’m Kip Kint and I am a Success Coach. As a Success Coach I am also a Financial Coach since the two are so often closely linked together.

As a Financial Coach I often tell my clients, “If you don’t change your financial paradigms all you will have is change…

…as in a pair of dimes.”

Pardon the pun, but I couldn’t resist. Your financial paradigms, or the way you view and relate to money absolutely determines what you do with money. So, if you do not have the amount, or the level of control that you would like when it comes to your money the first thing to check is your paradigms about money.

Paradigms and beliefs about money can run very deep. They begin forming during childhood and on into our teen years and young adult life. If you have not had the financial results you would like to see in your life then consider that some (or even all) you have learned about money up to this point may be incomplete or inaccurate.

This is not an indictment of your parents, your upbringing, or your education. People do the best with what they know. But, if you are willing to acknowledge that your results are not what you want them to be, then you must be prepared to take the next step that follows, which is to call into question your existing beliefs about money and entertaining the possibility of shifting your paradigm.

We have all heard the saying, “If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten” but have you ever stopped to think that if you always think the they you have always thought, you will always do what you have always done? If you are going to change your results of course you will need to change your behavior. But to truly change your behavior and sustain that change you absolutely must change your paradigms.

If you are ready to start changing your financial paradigms, which can be a difficult process to undertake, you might consider getting a Financial Coach.

Again, my name is Kip Kint and I am a Financial Coach. I am one of the original Rich Dad coaches. I can help you to shift your paradigms and change your behavior so that you achieve the financial results you truly want.

To your Success!
