Dear John,

What is your definition of success? By your own definition, are you successful?

At Ziglar, we teach that success has to be balanced. After all, if you have lots of money but terrible family relationships and bad health, that is not really success!

Take this quick assessment to determine if you have balanced success.

On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being outstanding, rate yourself in each of these 7 areas of life:

• Mental
• Spiritual
• Physical
• Family
• Financial
• Personal
• Career

How did you do? Did you have some 8s, 9s, and 10s? Did you rate anything lower than a 6? Do you have work to do?

“Success is the maximum utilization of the abilities that God gave you.” Zig Ziglar

I have found that we all have work to do! Our goal is to be 10s in all of these areas, and that is nearly impossible as life is always creating challenges for us.

What can we do? Simple: on a daily basis we can make intentional choices that help us advance in each of these areas. It’s the little right things done on a daily basis that create the life we want.

Build your life by design, not by chance.
