Success: Hell Yes!

Success.

How do you define it?

I had a touch base with a previous client this week. I asked what her long-term success looked like. She laughed and shared that I always ask the toughest questions.

In a short couple of years, she has grown her business from one small investment to an exponentially larger portfolio today. She knows that her current company structure is based in the past and now requires a rethink for an even more successful organization.

For me, success = leading from my vision everyday.

My vision is bringing joy and ease to ambitious clients who want to leave a mark. My vision includes publishing my second journal and a book full of Sunday Sunshines . My vision is to create all of this on my own terms.

When I'm leading from my vision, I’m in full belief that my vision will produce my success.

A few years ago, I defined success through my title, the sales I made, the people I met (Cher!) and the travel that came with it. I used words to define success that came from need instead of knowing how I wanted to feel: empowered, effective, impactful, passionate.

I wasn’t necessarily wrong, as much as I was unclear.

Unclear how I wanted to feel in my success.

Unclear what impact I wanted to have.

Money and titles will not bring happiness.

Thoughtfully connecting where happiness and success intersect comes with intentionally mapping to it.

Commit your vision for success to paper and the journey starts. Re-write it frequently as you’ll experience detours and speed bumps along the way and want to readjust.

Success is in the journey. Like any journey, you need a clear roadmap with direction and timing.

You are 3x more likely to achieve your goals if they are written down.

Keep in mind, success looks outwardly one way an inwardly another. This iceberg visual represents the work we all put in to achieve success.

The straightest line to success comes from a devotion to it. Success is the result of discipline and consistency.

With discipline you don’t have to think about it, you just do it which actually creates efficiencies and moves you closer to your vision faster.

After you’ve committed your vision for success to writing, go commit it to your calendar with milestones to remind you and give reason to celebrate. That’s discipline, and when it is committed to the calendar weekly, your vision begins unfolding.

You already have everything you need to be a success. Your brain is so amazing. It’s already created so much for you.

Tag, you're It.
