5 Ways to Improve Yourself and Your Circumstances

1. Self-awareness: Spend time thinking about your strengths and weaknesses. Once they have been defined, focus on your strengths and hire others to shore up your weaknesses.

2. Physical conditioning: Eating right and developing a training regimen should be on the top of your daily to-do lists. If you suffer from low physical energy and illness, it’s nearly impossible to have success at any level.

3. Emotional well-being: Surround yourself with love and support. We are each the average of the five people we spend the most time with, so we must choose those relationships carefully, both personally and professionally.

4. Mental growth: Find activities that inspire and challenge you. Schedule time to read and learn. Find a mentor. Sleep well. Allow your brain to be at its full performance potential so personal growth can blossom.

5. Spirituality: It may be going to church, meditating or writing in a journal. Whatever the case, train yourself to be aware of all the abundance in your life.

Ashcroft adds one more piece of advice: Re-evaluate your definition of success. “We are led to believe that getting a job or running a business makes us successful and defines who we are,” he says. “In reality, we need to nurture our health, relationships, and personal development while building our businesses. If we have corporate achievements but end up stressed, overweight and divorced, is that success?”
