There are some people out there that are rock stars at business and crazy successful, but then I hear they don’t have a family or their life doesn’t extend much beyond their business. That’s great for some people but for me being a business owner is just one aspect of my life. At Whole Life Photographer we want to help you find that balance. Zig Ziglar is one of the greats when it comes to motivating and inspiring people to succeed in life. But what I really loved about him is how he saw the big picture. He came up with seven areas we need to find success in in order to have that balanced life: Mental, Spiritual, Physical, Family, Financial, Personal and Career.

Right now I want you to go and get a piece of paper and a pencil and draw the little graphic I have pictured below. Now in each area rate how you are doing on a scale of 10 and draw a dot (each circle represents 2). Once you have rated yourself in each area, connect the dots. What does your “Wheel of Life” look like? Is it a full tire or lumpy and lopsided? I know for me personally I am a little flat in a few of those areas.

So now is my chance to renew my goals. With kids heading back to school I can get a fresh start to my schedule. I know for me I’ve been completely lacking on all my physical goals and I am ready to get back into my routine. I am also not much of a church person, but I really do believe that we are spiritual beans and I know I am much happier when I take time to meditate and reflect each morning. So I am going to be adding physical and spiritual goals to my list in hopes of pumping up my wheel. What areas are you needing a boost in?
