Featured on Thrive Global: 5 Ways to Redefine Success Now

Thank you Thrive Global for giving me the opportunity to share a bit of my story, who and what inspires me, and tips on how to redefine success for ourselves in our world now. Here’s an excerpt and you can read the full interview here.

We’re all looking for answers about how to be successful now. Could you please share “5 Ways To Redefine Success Now?”

      1. Elevate yourself out of ME to a WE-mindset. When you are focused on the self, you are essentially separating yourself from others resulting in comparison, judgment, blame, expectations, and a me vs. them mentality. If success is redefined from this small place, it cannot thrive beyond it.
      2. Integrate and align with what really matters to you. Once you have removed these blocks, you can expand into defining for yourself what I call your 4 P’s: your People, Purpose, Positioning, and Personality. You have to know why you are doing it, who you are doing it all for, and how you can uniquely and authentically bring your value to the world to make your mark matter.
      3. Create through inspiration and action. Success is not just what it looks like, but also what it feels like. We need both: we need the passion to drive us and the real-world action steps to make it real. Make a 2-column list for yourself and map out what success looks and feels like for you. What is a successful day for you? Are you living that now?
      4. Think about your legacy, now. Whether you are new to business or have 20+ years behind you, think ahead about what you want to leave behind and how you want to be remembered. It will provide you with a fresh perspective and new ideas about how to implement that every step of the way from here on out.
      5. Find your Collective of like-hearted people. Think of the potential collective power we have if we each did the above and lived, behaved, and created for others, with what each of us uniquely can do and give. Do you have a feedback and cheerleading group to continuously learn from, be inspired by, and support? Our successes and impact become exponential when we build each other up. (Consider Élanoura!)
