In talking to a prospective client the other day, and explaining the emphasis we place on balance and
personal success in our programs, he interjected and made an interesting comment. He said to me, “I
know I have some things I need to improve on personally, but for now I really want to focus only on
improving my business.” What a revelation! In one sentence he revealed a powerful paradigm that
more than anything else was holding him back from being as successful as he could be. There is one
key principle that he was not recognizing and applying: Personal Success Precedes Business Success!

Here’s what it all boils down to. The fastest car in the world doesn’t win the race without a highly skilled
driver; the finest paint and brushes have no meaningful impact on the canvas without the hand of a
talented artist; and successful, effective businesses are run by successful, effective human beings. It is a
PRE-requisite. Being an effective, successful person does not come after building a successful business
or career. IT COMES FIRST! If business success is the chicken, and personal success is the egg, then the
answer to the age-old question is most definitely and emphatically “The Egg!” and if you will take the
time to nurture the egg (your personal effectiveness) you will find it results in a more robust and healthy
chicken (a successful business/career).

Think of it this way, if I try my hand at creating a successful business and fail, I can reason that it was due
to any number of circumstances outside my control. However, if I work on being an effective person and
fail… well, you can see how this pill might prove a little harder to swallow if we let such fears get the best
of us. As a result, most focus their efforts in either the wrong place, or in the right place but prematurely
(in other words, without working on personal effectiveness first).

My Challenge to You:
1. Focus your efforts on becoming an effective person first, making and keeping commitments to yourself,
with a high degree of personal integrity and follow through.
2. Be an excellent manager of your time. It’s not about scheduling every minute, but rather doing the
right things at the right time.
3. Take 100% responsibility for your life, regardless of what happens to you. Only those who are 100%
responsible, and response-able, are truly effective and successful.

To Your Success!

How important is gratitude? Important enough to make it a conscious process every day of your life.
Allow me to illustrate with a little analogy. Imagine that you are standing on a beach. You have 100
pounds of seaweed in your right hand. It is wet, heavy, messy, smelly, tangled, and has bugs crawling in it.
It is generally unpleasant in virtually every way. However, you don’t want to drop it because you perceive
that, mixed in with the unpleasant seaweed, are many important things you would not want to drop. So,
you hang on.

In your left hand you have one tiny, shiny grain of sand. Though it is small, it is very pleasant to look at
as it catches the sunlight. If you were to look at this shiny grain of sand under a magnifying glass you
would see that it looks almost like a jewel or gem because it has been polished by the pounding waves for
thousands of years.

What weighs more, the seaweed or the grain of sand? Of course, the seaweed far outweighs the grain
of sand. But what does each represent? The seaweed represents all the problems, trials, challenges,
annoyances, frustrations, inundation and stress that often accompany some of the weighty, urgent,
important things in our lives.

The tiny, shiny grain of sand represents the little things in life that we feel good about. It could be any
little thing, even as small as cleaning your sock drawer and feeling good about it, or doing a good deed for
someone, or appreciating the beauty of a rare double rainbow. These are the small things in life that we
feel good about. As nice as these little things are, and as good as they make us feel, the seaweed still far
outweighs the individual grains of sand. However, where did I say you were standing? That’s right, on a
beach! And what weighs more, the hundred pounds of seaweed or the entire beach? Of course, it is not
even close. The beach may weigh millions of tons. We need to count the tiny, shiny grains of sand in our
lives so that they can accumulate in our hearts and minds, thus forming a beach of happiness, peace, and
success. Oh, the seaweed will still be there, but I can promise you it will pale in comparison to the beach
full of wonderful things in your life. Now, there’s something to be grateful for.

Allow me to extend to you a call to action – a little accountability if you will. By the end of the day create a
Victory/Gratitude Journal. This can be electronic or paper, whichever you prefer. This is a place to write
down the small things that are victories in your life, the shiny grains of sand. You will be amazed at how
much more you have to be grateful for when the small things don’t go unnoticed and uncounted. Learn
ways to invite gratitude into your life and more. Visit our website at www.ylwisdom.com to receive a free
mentoring session.
