We all want to feel that our careers are growing and progressing. We all want to know that our personal lives are in good order and that we are loved. Both things go hand in hand, that’s a simple fact.

I know first-hand that human nature more often than not, forces us to look at areas of our lives with tunnel vision. I look back at certain periods of my life and see clear patterns emerging.

Some phases of my life were all about wealth creation and career development. Other areas were full of physical health expansion. And other areas involved massive focus on my personal relationships. 

As I’ve mentioned recently, trying to achieve “balance” in life is truly not a productive approach to a happy life. Life is never truly in balance. We are either focusing more on one thing or another. It’s more so an act of ensuring that we are counterbalancing to keep things as close to “balance” as possible. Life’s a juggling act in many ways. 

But the one underpinning ingredient to massive success in leadership, career and life is having EPIC RELATIONSHIPS.

Human connection makes the world tick. We are born and within nanoseconds we are craving human touch and connection. That core human need never disappears.

I figured this out in my late 20s and it was a total epiphany. If I can invest consistent time, thought and love into my relationships then ALL areas of my life grow with a great deal of momentum.

But here’s where it gets interesting. If you want to see MASSIVE financial freedom, MASSIVE leadership growth or MASSIVE love in your life where do you need to monomaniacally focus? 

That’s the EASY part.

The #1 area you NEED to focus on is YOU.

YEP!

Your relationship with YOU is thee most important one of all. No other relationship should come before that. In fact, every other relationship will be impacted directly if you get your own house in order. 

I don’t mean just a little pat on the back and some random positive self-talk.

I mean developing incredible clarity around how you think, why you think that way and what you need to do to SUPERCHARGE your communication with yourself.

For those people out there who kick off a diet with a hiss and a roar, or those people who start a new business with 5000% focus, or those who jump into a relationship quicker than you can say boo please listen.

Listen to yourself. Listen to the questions you most commonly ask yourself. Listen to your inner champion AND your inner critic.

Want massive results? Start by focusing on your relationship with yourself. It’s a constant and never ending journey!

Who’s up for that journey?
