As Eminem would say… Let's get down to business
How to change your world by defining what this one word means to you
That one word is…
Success
What does the word success mean to you?
There are so many different explanations and thoughts behind it.
For some it means reaching the pinnacle of their career
For others it could mean living a fulfilled life and positively impacting the world
It could be retiring at a young age
It could be completing a 5k
It can be goal driven
Or values driven
Ultimately other peoples opinions don't matter.
What you define it as is of the utmost importance.
As a working parent with a busy career, kids having busy social lives, trying to juggle your time between work, kids, day care, activities, and keeping the house clean life can feel daunting, overwhelming and success can easily be defined as surviving.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with that at times.
It is exhausting, tiring and so rewarding.
But there will also be times where just surviving won't be enough.
You will want more.
But you don't know what ‘more’ is
You don't know how to look for it
Or where to start
So you start to feel down and irritated and sad.
The urge is there just to give up and carry on.
But then you start to feel resentful
That sadness deepens
You feel bad about yourself
You don't feel ‘successful’
It all happens because you don't know how to define what success looks like.
Then how to plan for it.
Below is a link to a free mindmap on how to plan for success

HEY, I’M DAN…
I know how exhausting and overwhelming it can be to work full time in a job that doesn't fulfill you. Then to arrive home sad and mentally exhausted.
Your kids really excited because daddy is home! and they want to tell you all about their day and play with you.
But you are so beaten down that you just can't give them the same excitement, or your full attention. Your mind is full of doubts and fears.
As hard as it may feel right now, there is a path from where you are today to becoming the dad who arrives home feeling fulfilled instead of frustrated.
I know because I have been where you are, and I can show you the way.
As a dad, husband, full time employee and a certified coach, I have helped dads just like you to identify careers that allow them to wake up excited to make a difference, to arrive home ready for toys and tantrums, and to go to your kids sports games fully present and enjoying it.
