I’ve been listening to other authors about success goals for their books. This made me pause and think about my book goals, which aren’t tied to quantity or ranking. 

As we go on our Wise Walk today, the questions on our minds are: What does success on your terms feel like? Have you articulated success on your terms out loud so that a loved one can support your clarity and confidence to go after what you really want? What’s an action you can take to align with your heart and take one step forward to achieving success on your terms, even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone?

Success to me with this podcast and my book is all about making an impact on an individual’s life. I look forward to hearing from humans who resonated with parts of my book and learning what feelings, choices, and actions they’re taking on their journey.

I just wanted to share how success on my terms is resonating with me in this present moment. Hopefully, you can use these questions to reground on what matters to you in your present moment so that you define success on your terms and move forward in a way that aligns with your True Stride.

 

In this episode:

[11:26] Hearing from you really lights me up.

[12:40] On your Wise Walk, think about what you are working on.

[14:09] Gaining awareness of how you define success on your terms is one thing, but having the courage to tell someone you love is where magic can occur.

[16:08] I’ve always loved quality over quantity of time.

[16:38] Success on my terms means quality connection, not quantity.

[18:57] If numbers and rankings matter to you, that is great. Be true to yourself.
