Road to Success EP65!
Cindy's Road To Success:
Name: Cindy Alfino
Occupation: "Which one? I'm a Wife and Mom of 3, I am also an Operations Director and Insurance Consultant at work and somewhere in between I blog over at 3 Kids, 2 Dogs and 1 Old House (www.alfinos.wordpress.com)."
Goals: "I have many goals, some as simple as making sure everyone gets fed in the morning. But in terms of big life goals the biggest one that I have right now is to travel. See as much as I can see of the World that we live in, it's not a goal that I will be able to reach in the near future, but it is something that I am working hard towards."
What is success? "I think success is very dependent on the situation.
Although there is a lot of value in moving up at work, owning lots of things, making lots of money etc. to me success is being able to do that without negatively affecting your family life and relationships. Missing out on ballet recitals or first days of school or birthday is not on. Real success is to be able to juggle it all without dropping any of the balls."
What success have you achieve? "There's a few things that I have managed to get right so far:

- I am happily married to my husband - for almost 8 years now.
- We have 3 amazing and beautiful children that are all still alive and seem to be thriving.
- I used to be a receptionist at my current company and since joining in 2006 I have worked myself up to the position of Operations Director and now own 40% of the company.
- Our blog is doing fairly well as things go, still a hobby but something that I really enjoy."
What success do you want to achieve? "Paying off any and all debt, including bond payments. I want to live debt free as soon as possible."

Charlene's Road To Success:
Name: Charlene Seini
Occupation: Business Analyst and part time Beauty Blogger
Goals:
What is success? "Success is something that changes much the same as I do through life. I continually set myself goals and work towards them. So success is something that is continually changing and evolving along with me. I feel I have succeeded when I know I have done something to the best of my abilities and achieved my goals. To me it is all about being happy with the way in which I achieved my goals. If I knew I could have done more or done better - I don't feel I have succeeded."
Name: Charlene Seini
Occupation: Business Analyst and part time Beauty Blogger
Goals:
- "To be successful in my career as a Business Analyst.
- To travel more.
- To be happy and content with what I do."
What is success? "Success is something that changes much the same as I do through life. I continually set myself goals and work towards them. So success is something that is continually changing and evolving along with me. I feel I have succeeded when I know I have done something to the best of my abilities and achieved my goals. To me it is all about being happy with the way in which I achieved my goals. If I knew I could have done more or done better - I don't feel I have succeeded."
What success have you already achieved? "Professionally, I am still growing within my career path. When I started out at my career it was about career progression, finishing my part time studies and being able to live comfortably. I am succeeding in my goals for growth, development and career progression. More recently I presented at the BASSA conference which is a big accomplishment for me in my profession. I think the biggest success I have achieved is finding a job that I am good at and enjoy doing.
Blogging wise, I think the main thing I wanted to achieve was balance between blogging, working and enjoying my spare time. This is only something that I have recently achieved. In the first year of blogging I spent almost all my free time blogging. Doing that while working and studying part time was really hard on me and I felt utterly exhausted. I think my biggest achievement with blogging is creating a good following, working with great brands and overcoming insecurities I had."
What success do you want to achieve? "I want to become internationally certified which is not an easy undertaking because you have to have a certain number of years of experience coupled with many other qualifying criteria - and that is to just gain access to writing the certification exam. But I am actively working towards it and slowly getting there."
Good luck on your road to success and on being internationally certified Charlene...

Road to success EP63!
Zareef's Road To Success:
Name: Zareef Minty
Occupation: Law Student, Politician and Entrepreneur
Goal: "I have about 50 goals every single year but two of the most important goals in life are: to become extremely influential and improve the lives of millions of people positively with that influence."
What is success? "Obviously success means different things to different people, for me success is not just achieving the goals you set for yourself but also impacting the lives of the people you get into contact with to achieve those very goals. For me, success is when my achievements and work ethic inspire and motivate others to become better."
What success have you achieved? "To be honest I haven't achieved anything as yet, the goals I set for myself are extremely complex. However I am grateful for the experiences and accolades I have received and experienced like being the youngest National Youth President of any political party in a National Election, making the Mail and Guardian Top 200 Young South Africans list and finally publishing my first book called EMPIRE which will hit stores really soon."
What success do you want to achieve? "I would love to be in the national assembly, hold a position in the executive of the government and own at least 2 multi-million dollar companies. Law is something I really have a passion for so I might take a legal route as well."
All the best and good luck on your road to success Zareef...

It is really refreshing to see a young man have such big goals, but also one that (in my opinion) has achieved so much already. It's great to know it's possible. Thank you for being an inspiration to our youth Zareef!
Peace. Happiness. Success.
