"The Art of Blissful Parenting"

Yes, parenting is also an art. There is no specific how-to book on how you can handle or take care of your child. We all have a unique way of doing so. We need to come up with a creative response and way to deal with our children. 

Important points aregiven by Sharon:

* We cannot be effective parents if we're not in alignment.

* You have a choice in terms of responding and reacting to things as a parent.

Practical things you can do to find your center as a parent:

1. Being deliberate - know that you're not going to be an effective parent if you don't feel good at what you do and making yourself a priority.

2. Setting Boundaries - setting expectations and having clear communication with your children

We need to trust our children. Never take full control, allow your kids to use their internal guidance system. Give them the freedom to make their own choices. Join Steve in this amazing interview with Sharon Ballantine on Thriving Entrepreneur.

Why are some people so successful life? What secrets do they have?

I know those are the typical questions you ask yourself whenever you see successful people being interviewed on TV or being featured in articles online. But the first thing that you need to understand is that those people are just normal people. They don't have superpowers. They're random people who embraced who they are, chased for their passion and chose to make a difference in this world.

Marnie shares her 5 Success Strategies that are guaranteed to make you a super-achiever. 

1. Assess: Asking yourself if what you're going to do is necessary or not. 

2. Batch: Batching the things that you needed to do every day will not only help you have an organized schedule but will also let you maximize your time.|

3. Calculate: Results ÷ Investment = Priority 

4. Do or Delegate:  You have to learn and afford to delegate the things that other people can do for you.
