The self esteem which evolves on the inside is usually reflected on the outside. Your internal self worth which consists of your self-esteem, self confidence and self respect will become your external net worth. Self esteem is a matter of pride in who you are and the mentor you can be.

Compare an individual with strong self esteem and high net worth to another with weak self esteem and low net worth. What are the obvious differences? Does self esteem play a major role? Of course, it does. Self esteem is the essence of a personality. Strong self esteem produces confidence in oneself.

Is it possible that positive self esteem is the basis for a celebrated mindset? A mindset is a certain attitude which may draw from either a positive or negative self esteem. Each individual attitude is the result of particular beliefs. What you believe to be true about yourself usually generates equivalent self esteem, self confidence and self respect.

On a scale of 0 – 10 (low to high self esteem), how would you rate your level of self esteem, self confidence and self respect? Calculate the average level of the three senses of worth? The conclusion is your self worth which ultimately determines your level of net worth as it pertains to business.

Please note there are ways to improve your self esteem and therefore, increase your level of self worth. I believe we all came into this world at a level ten self esteem. We were equal human beings regardless of race, religion, colour, nationality, sex, title or role. However, our exposure to the outside world – family, religion, education, politics, etc. permits outside influences to over shadow our true self esteem.

We have fashioned our own fears, limitations and boundaries on what we experience, see and hear. Overtime our personal perceptions have been altered. Our self esteem is diminished and our self worth suddenly has limitations.

We are smart, educated adults and should be able to distinguish between fact and fiction. We need to go back and review our values as it relates to self esteem. We need to remove some of the baggage that has been holding us back, lowering our self-esteem, self confidence and self respect.

We need to boost our self esteem by acknowledging our worth and managing our emotions. Our self esteem portrays our values and affects the choices we make.

Simply by changing our internal thinking, we can reclaim our self-esteem, self confidence and self respect and strive for a level ten self esteem as our standard. This is a level of self esteem from which to begin not end. It is a known fact that if we don’t believe in ourselves, no one else will either.

How we feel about ourselves, our self esteem, is reflected in our daily conversations, our body language and our abilities. We are responsible for our destiny and anything is possible with high quality self esteem.

There are ways to boost your self esteem. Begin by setting attainable goals for yourself. Make your dreams a reality. Accept support and encouragement from others. Learn from your mistakes. It won’t take long before your self esteem is back to ten or more. Realistically, self esteem is the difference between success and failure. We all want success and therefore, we must do whatever it takes to boost our self esteem daily.

What results are you looking for? What actions must you take? What type of self esteem do you need to experience self worth? You must believe in yourself – the most important person in the world. You are the all inclusive package of self esteem, self confidence and self respect.

All three attributes equal your self worth and in turn, your self worth will translate externally into your net worth. Where do you rate your self esteem? What are you worth?

“A” is for Attitude, the foundation of all successful work-life balanced people.

Attitude is a desire which stems from your beliefs. First do you believe you can achieve a work-life balance?

If so, you are well on your way. If not, there is no need to go any further, as it will not happen.

“Whether you think you can, or cannot, you are absolutely right” Henry Ford

It all starts with your beliefs and believing in the most important person in the world. Believing you can do anything you set your mind to.

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Napoleon Hill

Let’s pretend you do believe that you can have a work-life balance. If so, do you have a strong desire to have a work-life balance?

Your level of desire will be reflected in your attitude. If you are really hungry, as Les Brown would say, nothing will stop you from accomplishing your desires.

Therefore, you first need to believe that you can have a work-life balance which is supported by a strong desire to make it a reality. Does that reflect your attitude?

You can have a fantastic attitude, but a positive attitude alone is not enough to guarantee work-life balance success. In order to achieve work-life balance, the goal, you need an action plan to get where you want to go.

The “B” stands for Behavior. Behavior is the manner in which you conduct yourself. It is the way you behave, the way you act, function or react. Behaviors are also your habits – the things you do on a daily basis. You have good or effective habits, and bad or ineffective habits. You need to make yourself aware of all of your habits and replace the effective habits with effective ones.

Appropriate, or effective behavior drives opportunities. Opportunities come from setting goals, written S.M.A.R.T. goals. What do you want out of life and/or out of your work?

Who can determine this for you and who can make it happen? What are the daily behaviors that you must apply to live a work-life balance and the life of your dreams?

Once you identify these behaviors, and stick to them, watch your time management skills and results improve dramatically. It is those daily behaviors, when you implement them on an ongoing basis, that will make a big difference in your level of work-life balance success.

Now, with a can-do attitude and appropriate goal-driven behaviors, you can now add the “C,” which stands for Competent. You become competent when you master a work-life balance.

A is the desire, B is the practice, C is the master. However, it is the D that is the main ingredient to overall success.

“D” stands for Discipline. Discipline is a commitment to the most important person in the world – You! It means doing what you have to do, even when you don’t want to do it.

Discipline, in itself, is a behavior. Any behavior that gets recognized or rewarded, gets repeated.

The process is simple. You determine the necessary behavior or action required to achieve the goal; do it even when you don’t want to; and finally, recognize and reward that behavior so it will be repeated.

Remember, both attitude and discipline are 100% within your control. They are the foundation for ongoing self motivation and personal success. Recognize and reward appropriate behaviors and you will enjoy effective habits and a work-life balance.
