Success: What Skills Do You Need?
Over at the Change your thoughts blog there is a guest post by Ponn Sabra on The seven success strategies for business and life. You can read the post for yourself to see how you measure up.

Ponn's post did get me to start thinking about success and what it means. Of course, the definition of success is different for everyone. For some people it may be measured in terms of money. Others may measure it in terms of power. Still others may measure it in terms of popularity.

In addition to Ponn's great list of seven success strategies, I'd like to add two more:
  1. Be flexible. Have plans and goals - yes, certainly. But when real life doesn't go exactly the way you planned, be ready to adjust.

  2. Learn from your mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. The key to handling mistakes is to learn from them instead of getting discouraged by them.
What about you? What skills and strategies do you think it takes to succeed as a WAHM?

WorkAtHomeMomma,

Thanks for help spreading Our Stratgies and Tips!

Here, here! Your 2 additions are great! I'll add it to my post showing how wonderful this "little" guest post got Steven & I spread throughout the blogosphere ;-)

As for being flexible, with an international broker, our family living out of suitcases now with our move and me desparately trying to make up (make apologies) for not having internet, cable or phone services for the past 3 days, here at the public library for 1-hour...talk about improvising and "being flexible" ;-)

And, if you don't learn from your mistakes, you're doomed for INsanity, the same results with no room for change/improvement!

Hoping to keep this dialogue alive!

To our success & empowerment,
Ponn

Wow,

The infomation posted here is very true.
You have to really learn from your mistakes because that is what
makes you successful.
What I have learned is you have to make a decision first that you will be successful.
Schedule out so much time that you will work your business each day as if you are going
to a job.
Do not let anyone come in between the time you have schedule out for
your business.
Cut out some of your TV time.
If you have conference calls take advantage of it because these calls
are to help you stay focus and realize that the individuals on those calls are going in the
same direction you are.

Stay balance with the family, make sure to give the family mommy time.
Involve the family in your business.
And learn as much as you can to market your business.
