Thinking about how Speakers Institute has grown into a global company puts a big smile on my face. It makes me feel very content and fulfilled. I have a healthy work–life balance. I know a lot of people in a similar position to my own feel differently. Perhaps they feel guilty for not being there for their family because they're so busy building their business or travelling for work. I feel none of that, because I know I'm a good father and a loving husband. My wife and children are amazing, and that certainly helps me. I'm content with every aspect of my life, from my health and relationships through to my finances and the success of our business, and that gives me a deep sense of fulfilment.

So I'm certainly content, but I'm not satisfied.

Deep in my core, I know there's more — more opportunities to seize, more people to reach, more money to be made, more influence to wield, more lives that can be transformed, more to give. So no, I'm not satisfied, because I know there is so much more I can do as a leader.

This is a great motivator for all of us, in both our personal and professional life. Ask yourself, ‘Am I content but not satisfied? Am I ready to do more, achieve more, have a positive impact on more people?’

I'm content but at the same time I'm hungry for more, because I have so much more to do.
