What is your criteria for success? How do you know when you’ve achieved what you set out to do?

It’s a question we all ask ourselves at some point, but along the way, that initial idea of success can change. Certainly it has in Julie’s case. The things she wanted and needed at the beginning of her entrepreneurial journey have evolved over time, forcing her to re-evaluate what her idea of success is now.

In this week’s show, Julie talks about re-analysing our ideals; when to do it, how to do it, and why you should do it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• For some, success is having time to do the things we love, or having the ability to pick and choose when we work. For others it may be financial freedom. For Julie it was being able to spend time with her parents and family.
• Success criteria changes once milestones are reached. If we achieve time freedom, financial freedom, what comes next? What are the next milestones? Success doesn’t have to be huge. It can be as simple as finding a new friend or making a new connection.
• Another point to consider is how comfortable we are. We are programmed to stay safe. We are 95% habit, which means that for that amount of our lives we are not conscious about our lives; we are instead driven by routine and comfort. 
• Successful people look at challenges as opportunities and do something different with them. Truly successful people will applaud other people’s successes.
• If you are learning from someone, such as a mentor, then make sure that they have achieved the things that you wish to achieve. Make sure that they can actively do the things you want to be able to do.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I remember thinking that financial freedom was £15 million worth of property in the next year. Yeah, that didn’t work out!’

‘Loneliness is not mentally healthy for the individual experiencing it’

‘If we want to change, how do we do that?’

‘Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’

‘You are a result of all the information that you hold'

ABOUT THE HOST

 

Julie Hogbin

 

I started my career within the accountancy profession, moving on into auditing, then Learning & Development where I have spent over 30 years.

In 2011 I threw everything up in the air and became a property investor via forex, trading and learning how to build websites & internet market whilst walking on fire 😊 

I have worked with over 20,000 Leaders at every level of Management and Leadership for over 30+ years. In the latter years working with CEOs, SMTs, boards of trustees & Entrepreneurs.

I have worked with the public, the private and the entrepreneurial sectors of the market. The Leadership messages are the same across the sectors – the application may be different but all are Business’ where Conscious and Principled Leadership reaps rewards for all parties concerned.

I work with the human element of Business and my passion is enabling others to be the best they can be through providing them with the information they need to be more effective than they currently are. Unleashing potential and providing knowledge enabling the best decisions to be made for the Business, the Employee, the Leader (themselves) their families and the greater social economy.

I am a Coach, a Mentor (and I know the difference) Trainer, Author, property investor and public speaker 

I love travel, sunshine, smiley people, intelligent conversation, laughter, learning, networking, supporting others, property as a business, investigating ‘stuff’ problem solving, asking questions that make people think, creating aha moments, gardening and flowers and being outside.
