Remember your success

How many times have you beat yourself up because you aren’t where you want to be in life? How many times have you tried something, and it didn’t work? How many times have you tried something, and it was a tremendous success and you just stop doing it? All of these questions are ones we all can regrettably understand because we’ve all been there.

I know that’s a lot that I just threw at you, but these are some serious questions. For me, I have always been successful in some degree, meaning most of the time I achieved goals that I set for myself. And that’s not a pat on the back for me, it is me laying the foundation for my failure. Because even though I had a lot of success, I still find myself dealing with issues that I’ve previously handled in my previous years. And it’s only because I fail to remember my previous success in business ventures, relationships, and others that I beat up on myself for not being further than where I am right now.

Often times, we do one of three things with success:  Beat ourselves up for being a failure, become successful to only stop doing what got us there, or continue to be successful while learning from failures.

So I had to get out of my own head in regards to my failures. Failures is just another way of saying there is a better of way accomplishing your goals. Choosing to harp on your failures forces you to not remember your success. Remembering your success allows you to build confidence while going through failures.

Also, remembering your success will keep you grounded and focused on your main objectives. How many times have you stopped something that was successful? I can imagine a lot of us has done this. The reasons are vast. However, if you learn to remember your success, how you became successful, and why you were successful, you can get back on the success train.

Takeaways:

Remembering your success will keep you grounded and focused on your main objectives. How many times have you stopped something that was successful?

How to handle your divorce?

Going through a divorce is never an easy process to initiate. I’ve been through one. You make a vow to stick with someone for the rest of your life. And then all of sudden, you find yourself arguing everyday and totally loathing the presence of the person.  So I’m writing this blog post to hopefully help others who are thinking about going through this process; or those who have started the process already.   I handle a few divorce cases and I’ve learned prearranged agreement is always better. I think too many times spouses are wanting to get the most out of a divorce. But, in the process they drain their personal finances. People see a lot of high-net-worth individuals on social media and television getting divorces. You see the ridiculous amounts of money for child support and alimony.  However, in everyday life, people don’t have access to millions of dollars and multibillion dollar companies.  With that being said, my encouragement a lawyer is to make sure you to work out an agreem

When a founder leaves from a legal perspective?

In a world of venture capitalism, tech company selling, and Shark Tank; it is important to make sure that the transition is done well legally.  Not too many founders and/or acquiring companies think the transitioning through regarding a founder leaving the company. When the founder of a business leaves, there are several legal considerations to keep in mind in order to keep the business going.   And when we mean keeping the business going, we are taking about growth. As we all know, that if you aren’t growing, you are dying. Succession Planning: Having a plan in place for when the founder leaves can help ensure a smooth transition and minimize disruption to the business. This may include designating a successor, creating a buy-sell agreement, or establishing a board of directors. Review of Contracts: Make sure to review any contracts that the founder was party to and determine if there are any provisions that may be affected by their departure.   Not too many times do companies t

When your hardwork isn't paying off?

 How many times have we felt like we’ve been beating our head against a wall?  When your hard work isn't paying off, it can be helpful to step back and reassess your approach. Here are a few things you can try: Set specific, measurable goals: Make sure you know what you're working towards and how you'll know when you've achieved it. Get feedback: Ask for feedback from others and use it to improve.  However, it is important to make sure you get feedback from ‘right’ person. I mean, you know what they say about opinions. But, if you have the right team around you, it might be useful to gain feedback.  Learn from failure: Failure can be a valuable learning opportunity. Don't be afraid to take risks and experiment.  Some might say ‘fail fast.’ I recommend to at least execute on something.  Stay positive and focus on progress: Remember that progress, not perfection, is the goal.  If you refer back to the ‘set specific, measurable goals.’ I think too many people fail in l
