Yesterday, I saw someone through their eyes. I saw their vulnerability, insecurities, hopes, and dreams. Their next move, little do they know, will define them more than they realize.

I remember being 27 years of age and physically pinching myself. I thought in that moment, life just didn't get better and all my dreams had come true. The innocence of feeling joy from experiencing a new city, my dream job as an marketing entrepreneur and being surrounded by people who empowered me, was more than I ever dreamed was possible.

In your 40’s, and you haven’t made your mark yet?
I’m almost terrified to write this down, but it is something that has to be said. As I sit with my 40-something year old friends, we all sit with a similar dilemma that leaves each and everyone one of us slightly unfulfilled.

Do you live a purposeful life? Do you consciously make decisions based on your purpose? Are you aware that you are more powerful with purpose?
I've lived an interesting life. Like many entrepreneurs I have gone from having an idea to seeing it through, having another idea and seeing it fall in a heap and then the momentum of building a business to heights that you actually have never imagined.

A glance at entitlement.
A first world problem for sure, but it is one I see regularly as an entrepreneur and one who travels widely around the world.
We all work hard. I don't have children, but I see a lot. I have opinions, just like most, but there is some substance in my opinions because I have been around for a long time.
Parents work hard to build their businesses and wealth. They do so because mostly, they didn't grow up with the wealth that they would have liked, or perhaps they just want to live a better life.
They accumulate wealth, and with that comes big houses, flash cars, holidays in the South of France and skiing in Aspen, and so on.

I had a moment of clarity yesterday, that will define my life moving forward. I realized that I am not living the life I want to live and something has to change.

A lot of entrepreneurs understand money. How many understand what is the most important thing in life?

Under full disclosure, each week I look at our revenues for all offices and what profit each individual office makes. It is something that I have become accustomed to doing for quite some time and it is important that both myself and our internal accountant, who was formerly an accountant at EY, manage on a daily basis.
Without profit, a professional services business is nothing.

I never dreamed I would be living the life that I do. I grew up in humble beginnings and although I always knew I had a brain, I never dared dream to live a life more than what was most obvious and in front of me.

I always like to hit the hard topics, because quite frankly they stir the pot and create discussion - which is exactly what I want this blog to do.

Never Settle In Any Aspect Of Your Life - I haven't, and I have No Regrets
Jul 09, 2016 Written by Mellissah Smith
Have you ever wondered why you are where you are today? Why the choices you made or perhaps were made for you, led you to a life that you are living?

Life is one rollercoaster ride that just keeps going round and round. If you ever stop and get off, and wait a few moments, you either wonder whether you enjoyed it better being on the roller coast or whether or not standing still was and is a better option.
A catalyst for many things in life is change. Do we want change, or do we want to keep doing the same things we've always done. You know that saying "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." Tony Robbins nailed it with that one and I hear it over and over again, only to be reminded of how true this saying really is.

I've had a 24-hour overload of over-thinking, self-criticism, insight reviewing - that really has sucked.
I am not one to complain, because let's face it - who wants to listen to anyone complain? I don't even want to hear myself complain... it's dull, and definitely not respectful to all the good things that go on in life.

After spending 4 days in New York, I am reminded once more the value of chemistry. If you are anything like me, each and every time I fly into New York, I fall madly in love once again with the city that never sleeps.
New York is more than just another city in the big world we live in. It is a city with so much hope, excitement and opportunity, that even people that have glasses half empty, have to at the very least appreciate.

Yesterday I was bursting at the seams. Life couldn't get much better. I had a few meetings and they went so well that I literally couldn't stop smiling and that feeling deep inside was one that I haven't felt in a long time.
