‘The secret of success is making your vocation your vacation.’ Mark Twain

There have been short periods in my life where I have found myself employed in a job that I didn’t suit and didn’t like. I didn’t stay there for too long, but learnt as much as I could from the experience before seeking out work that I enjoyed.

In order to move forward in life, to achieve your God-given goals and the destiny that is yours to fulfill, there needs to come a point in your life where you stand up straight, in the face of opposition, impossibility and whatever else stands in your way from being all that you were created to be, and declare, ‘This means war!’

When you purchase a real estate property you purchase it within some physical boundaries that have been laid out by the designers of the plot. And it is with that same clarity that you need to set boundaries for your own life.

In the design of your life it is important to consider those things that you will allow in your life, as well as those things that you will not allow. By ascertaining these things early in your life, confusion will have no hold on the decision making processes that you are faced with on a regular basis.

When in business you too need to determine the boundaries within which you will conduct your business, whether it be the terms and conditions of doing business, the way you collect payments, the way you deliver your product and services, the way you deal with complaints or even the way you conduct customer service.
