Lets talk about the importance of redefining success and failure in network marketing. We will always feel like we are coming up short or failing if we only measured our success by monetary achievements... I wanted to share a few examples of people who maybe haven't seen the tangible business growth or made it to the top of the company but did rediscover their value and self-worth. And maybe you haven't grown to the top of the company yet, but you have found the ability to hold yourself accountable, ask for help or stepped outside your comfort zone in ways you never could have imagined. So i encourage you to embrace your unique journey, step into facing your personal challenges, and reframe your perspectives on what success and failure means to you, because no matter where you are at in your business or journey, feeling like a failure will never lead to you experiencing the success you are looking for and the fulfilling life you deserve to live.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Success is not just about reaching the top of the company.Personal growth is a significant measure of success.Network marketing can open doors to new life perspectives.Facing personal challenges can lead to growth in business.Asking for help is crucial for success.Self-sabotage often stems from past conditioning.Building self-accountability is essential in entrepreneurship.Transformative personal growth can lead to improved self-worth.Relationships may change as individuals grow and evolve.Reframing negative thoughts can change your reality.___CONNECT WITH ME:INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/carlypinchin/TIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@carlypinchinYOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChhOERGYhv-0s-KZtp9HosQ/ Become Empowered + Powerful as EFF by tapping into your feminine with this 6 week course I created to help women who feel they're constantly living in their mind tap back into the wisdom of their bodies and their hearts to attract their deepest desires toward them: Empowered Feminine Course. https://carly-pinchin.mykajabi.com/offers/FVEdM52q/checkout

Lou Pelliccioni reflects on his multifaceted career, which began with coaching basketball and evolved into a distinguished journey in the finance sector. He shares insights from his recent book, "Success is More Than Winning," examining the nuances of success beyond the realm of victory in sports and business. This episode delves into valuable traits of success and effective ways to transition from being good to achieving greatness.Key Takeaways:-Success isn't merely about winning; it involves doing your best and consistently pursuing personal and professional growth.-Perseverance, passion, goal setting, and time management are fundamental components that drive success in any field.-Lou's narratives from his coaching and finance career underscore the importance of mental toughness and learning from failures.- Learning to relax and manage stress effectively is crucial in achieving peak performance under high-pressure scenarios.-Empathy and communication skills are vital for maintaining successful personal and professional relationships.
In this episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee draws inspiration from WrestleMania, exploring the routines and discipline of top professional wrestlers to unveil universal truths about success and consistency. Baylor reflects on the dedication required to maintain peak physical condition as seen with wrestlers like Roman Reigns, emphasizing that the perceived glamour is often overshadowed by the everyday challenges of consistent effort and lifestyle choices. Unveiling the myth of shortcuts and focusing on sustainable success, Baylor discusses the vital importance of falling in love with the process rather than merely pursuing the end goal. Listeners are invited to question whether they prioritize the process over the outcome, encouraging an understanding that success often demands "boringly consistent" efforts. Conscious habit formation, as Baylor mentions, doesn't happen overnight but becomes integrated into one's life through commitment and time, flipping the narrative from burden to opportunity. Key Takeaways: Success is achieved through consistent, often "boring," effort rather than shortcuts. The importance of falling in love with the process and not just the end goal. One must ask themselves whether they value the goal itself or merely how achieving that goal appears to others. Sustainable habit formation takes about 66 to 68 days, far longer than the commonly believed 21 days. True dedication to goals implies doing whatever it takes, regardless of how it looks to the outside world. Notable Quotes: "There's no secret to success. You have to literally just do what's miserable until if you do it long enough, it's no longer miserable." "If you care more about the process than really what you're saying is the goal doesn't mean that much." "Find something that works and then just continue to replicate that over however long it takes you to reach your goal." "In only a little over two months, I could create a new habit that is going to change my life." "Make sure that that goal means enough to you. And then you have to understand, there is no secret sauce."

✔️ The Basics Work Every Time | Monday Morning Pep Talk #273 In this episode, I walk you through one of the most powerful stories I've ever heard about mastery, consistency, and elite performance — told by keynote speaker and performance coach Alan Stein Jr. Alan was invited to the first-ever Kobe Bryant Skills Academy in 2007. What he witnessed at 4:00 a.m. in a quiet Los Angeles gym changed his view of high performance forever. Kobe wasn't doing anything flashy — he was locked in on the basics. Footwork. Jab steps. Pivots. The kind of drills most athletes leave behind early in their career. But true masters? They repeat what works. That's the essence of this message: Success lives in the fundamentals. ✔️ What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why basic ≠ easy — and why most people confuse the two What separates elite performers from average ones Why the shiny new tactic is often a distraction How to apply the principle that “success leaves clues” A weekly challenge to double down on your fundamentals

If you've ever felt like success has become a shield—something you wear to prove your worth, but deep down, it leaves you feeling isolated and unfulfilled—this episode is for you. Today, we're uncovering the dark side of being a driven, successful woman and the patterns that keep us overextended, exhausted, and stuck in a cycle of perfectionism. More importantly, we're talking about how you can redefine success in a way that honors your energy, your well-being, and your deeper need for connection. Key Takeaways: Success won't fill the void of self-worth. External validation is fleeting—real fulfillment comes from within. Perfectionism isolates you. The pressure to “do it all” creates burnout, resentment, and emotional exhaustion. Being the strong one doesn't bring connection—it creates distance. True intimacy comes from allowing yourself to be seen, flaws and all. You don't have to carry everything alone. Vulnerability is not weakness—it's the key to deeper relationships and sustainable success. Redefining success starts with allowing yourself to receive. Where in your life can you soften and let in the support you deserve? This Week's Challenge: Share one real, vulnerable truth with someone you trust. Notice how it feels and what shifts in your connection. PLUS! If you're ready to create more fulfillment and purpose in your journey—without giving up your ambition—I have a few one-on-one coaching spots available to help you break free from people-pleasing and perfectionism.

In this solo episode, Ceri talks about a truth many artists and creatives struggle with: Success won’t change your life. We’re told that success is the finish line, but this is far from the truth, success is fleeting and life carries on afterwards. Ceri talks about what success really means for creatives and artists and how changing your mindset around it can help you build and live a more fulfilling life and creative career. KEY TAKEAWAYS Success isn’t about reaching a final goalpost but about continuous growth. When you start measuring your progress by how much you’re evolving, rather than just ticking off achievements, everything changes. Most artists and creatives underestimate the power of slow-building momentum. You’re not just working toward some distant finish line; you’re constantly growing in ways you might not even notice. If you want to build a creative life that lasts, stop waiting for success to validate you. Instead: - Redefine success – What does progress look like for you? - Follow your curiosity – Chase ideas, not approval. - Celebrate small wins – Acknowledge every step forward. - Track your progress – Keep a journal, document your journey, and reflect on how far you’ve come. - Give yourself permission to change – Your creative path isn’t fixed. It’s fluid, and that’s a good thing. BEST MOMENTS “That external validation wasn’t the most important part, the real reward was in the process” "But the real joy? It comes from holding these goals like a roadmap, not a rigid itinerary. The destination helps plot the most scenic route, where you’ll meet incredible, funny, and inspiring people along the way.” “Have you had a conversation recently that sparked a new idea? Have you experimented with a technique or approach that felt exciting? Have you shared your work with someone and received valuable feedback? These are growth moments. And they matter just as much as a big career milestone.” EPISODE RESOURCES PODCAST HOST BIO With over 30 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci.

Free giveaway https://www.paulieskaja.com/opt-in1 In this episode of Live Into Your Best Life, I sit down with Lucy Davis, an accomplished entrepreneur and contractor with over 20 years of experience in residential and commercial property management. Lucy has built a thriving career in the construction industry—specializing in roofs, siding, windows, gutters, and solar shingles—all while breaking barriers in a traditionally male-dominated field. Lucy's story is one of resilience, adaptability, and unwavering determination. After losing her husband in 2023, she not only took on the responsibility of running her business but also dedicated herself to guiding her four children into the world of entrepreneurship. She shares how she is instilling in them the values of financial responsibility, teamwork, and perseverance by actively involving them in the family business. During our conversation, Lucy opens up about a life-changing moment when she realized her work-life balance had reached an unsustainable level. When her daughter tried to connect with her, but she was too engrossed in work to be present, Lucy knew something had to change. She made the difficult decision to shut down her business to prioritize her family and mental well-being—a move that, while challenging, ultimately led her to a more fulfilling and balanced life. Lucy also reflects on her upbringing, growing up in a family-run cleaning business that started small and grew into a million-dollar company. Her mother, having escaped a cult, built the business from the ground up, teaching Lucy the importance of resilience and entrepreneurship. Now, as a marketing director in the construction industry, Lucy continues to redefine her success while ensuring she maintains the balance she once struggled with. Throughout our discussion, we dive into the power of taking ownership of one's success, navigating career pivots, and making tough decisions that align with our personal values. Lucy's journey is a testament to the importance of adaptability, grit, and building a legacy that extends beyond financial success. Key Takeaways: Success is earned, not given—Lucy teaches her children the value of hard work and financial responsibility. Work-life balance is critical—making tough decisions to prioritize family can lead to greater fulfillment. Resilience is built through challenges—Lucy's journey from personal loss to professional reinvention exemplifies true perseverance. Owning your success means taking action rather than waiting for recognition. Career pivots, even the difficult ones, can open new doors to growth and opportunity. This episode is packed with inspiration, wisdom, and actionable insights for anyone looking to navigate life's challenges with strength and purpose.

What if the biggest obstacle to your success wasn't external, but internal? Charles D'Angelo shares his powerful journey of transformation—losing over 150 pounds and redefining his mindset—to show that lasting change starts from within. In this inspiring conversation, he reveals how shifting your self-image and mastering your inner dialogue can unlock incredible personal growth. If you've ever felt stuck in your health, career, or relationships, Charles offers a blueprint for overcoming self-doubt and stepping into your full potential. Key Takeaways: Success isn't just about diet or exercise; it's about rewiring your beliefs and seeing yourself as the person you want to become. Every choice, big or small, moves you toward or away from your goals. Consistency and commitment are the real game-changers. Motivation comes and goes, but discipline built through habits and structure leads to lasting success. The moments you want to quit are the moments that define your breakthrough. Lean into the challenge, and you'll emerge stronger. No matter your history, you have the power to rewrite your story and create a life that aligns with your highest potential. About Charles D'Angelo: Charles D'Angelo knows all about overcoming perceived difficulties and limitations – including those we put on ourselves – and finding the way to success. By anyone's standard and in every area of life, Charles is a success. He has a flourishing business. He's financially secure. He has found the love of his life. He's tall, lean, attractive and incredibly fit. He's confident and self-assured. He's an accomplished author, and he has been endorsed by such luminaries as President Bill Clinton, Anthony Robbins, Mark Hyman and more. Most important, he is happy. But at one time, Charles was miserable. He was morbidly obese, weighing 360 pounds by the time he was a teen. He was bullied and emotionally abused by his peers. His family was poor. His mother was addicted to prescription drugs and alcohol, and his father was rarely there. Finally making the choice to take control of his life, he lost 160 pounds of pure fat and discovered a world of health and vitality. He learned to listen to God, and in doing so developed a life far beyond his wildest dreams. Charles became the first in his family to get a college degree, and while still in school, he began teaching others how to reach their weight-loss goals by tapping into their inner power. Before long his name spread, and he was helping everyone from CEOs, Hollywood stars and Washington bigwigs to teenagers and stay-at-home moms, Now Charles can look back and see how God has continually put everything in his path to make his dreams come true and fulfill his mission to help others, but it was not always so obvious. He could easily have been controlled by his own fears and self-doubt, and at one time he was. Charles understands how our own perception can prevent us from seeing what's right in front of us. Nothing is more important to him than to help as many people as he possibly can to listen to the voice of God within them, develop their mindset and do as he did, creating a phenomenal life. Charles lives in St. Louis, Missouri with his love and life partner, Crystal.

Join Baylor Barbee in this engaging episode of "Shark Theory" as he delves into the nuances of excellence versus success. With his latest book, "No One Prays for the Lion," on the brink of release, Baylor reflects on his journey from previous works to present endeavors. His keen insights draw from personal experiences and thought-provoking literature, offering listeners an enriching perspective on achieving excellence in life. Baylor emphasizes the subjective nature of success and the profound difference between success and excellence. Drawing on an anecdote from his 2014 book, "Idea of Excellence," he recalls his upbringing under a mother who set high academic standards, which cultivated his mindset of not settling for less. The episode explores the importance of setting personal standards versus merely striving for goals, underlining how elevating these standards can lead to a more fulfilling life. Furthermore, Baylor reflects on teachings from Horace Schulze's "Excellence Wins," illustrating how Ricz-Carlton's philosophy of seeking excellence can be applied personally. Through engaging anecdotes, such as Tiger Woods' remarkable 1997 Masters performance and its subsequent pursuit of improvement, Baylor drives the point home of striving to be "continually better, not occasionally great." His narrative inspires listeners to pursue a life of sustained excellence, contrasting it with the fleeting nature of success. Finally, Baylor encourages his audience to preorder his upcoming book, designed to instill the confidence needed to achieve unparalleled results in life. Key Takeaways: Success is subjective; excellence involves setting and maintaining high personal standards. Achieving excellence requires focusing on opportunities for improvement in daily life. Differentiating between goals and standards can lead to a more meaningful and structured life. Deliberate practice and continual improvement can pave the way for sustained excellence. Baylor invites listeners to embrace a mindset of confidence as explored in his upcoming book. Notable Quotes: "The problem was I was nowhere near what I would deem successful because it's such a subjective thing." "Goals are things that we hope we hit, but standards are what we live by." "Are you trying to succeed in your career, or are you trying to exhibit excellence?" "I decided I wanted to be continually better, not occasionally great." "Let's live lives of excellence so that everything wins because of who we are."
In this engaging episode, Scott Smith shares his powerful "Bridge Concept" for achieving personal transformation. Drawing inspiration from the Hoover Dam bypass construction, Scott reveals how successful people approach their goals with both optimism and realism. Through colorful analogies and real-world examples, Scott explains why having a solid foundation in your current life is crucial before building toward your dreams. He emphasizes the importance of being honest about where you are today while methodically creating the pathway to where you want to be. Using his signature blend of humor and practical wisdom, Scott demonstrates how transformation isn't about quick fixes but about building a strong span between your present and future foundations. Featured Story: Scott shares a pivotal lesson learned in a sports bar, where he observed highly successful professionals who combined optimism with pragmatism. This revelation shaped his coaching philosophy: while it's great to dream big, real success comes from taking practical steps and facing reality head-on. As Scott puts it, "When that unicorn isn't available, we just got to call the Uber." Key Takeaways: Success requires a solid current foundation before building toward future goals Transformation is more valuable than simple transactional changes Your current situation must be stable enough to support future growth If you don't know your purpose, your purpose is to find your purpose The "span" between foundations consists of daily actions toward your goal Making the leap to your new life typically happens at about 70% progress Memorable Quotes: "Real people do real things. We want to stay upbeat and positive, we want to ride a unicorn whenever we possibly can. But when that unicorn is not available, we just got to call the Uber." "If you don't know your purpose, your purpose is to find your purpose." "Is your foundation as it is today absolutely solid? Is it what I like to term a peaceful base?" Scott's Three-Step Approach: 1. Assess and stabilize your current foundation - ensure you have a "peaceful base" 2. Clearly define your desired future foundation - what you want to build toward 3. Create and execute the daily actions that form the span between foundations Connect With Scott: Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

In this solo episode, Tracy explores the critical mindset shifts healthcare providers need to make to transform their practices from survival mode to thriving businesses. She introduces the concept of the "practitioner's paradox" - where the very mindset that makes someone an excellent healthcare provider can actually hinder their success as a business owner. Through real-world examples and practical frameworks, Tracy explains how practitioners can transition from working in their business to working on their business, without sacrificing the quality of patient care. Key Concepts: The Practitioner's Paradox: How clinical excellence mindset can limit business growth The hidden costs of burnout on business decision-making The Owner's Mindset Shift: Moving from "how can I do this better?" to "how can this be done better without me?" Practical Tools Introduced: The Energy Audit: A simple weekly tracking system marking activities as energizing (+) or draining (-) The Owner's Hour: Dedicated time for high-level strategic thinking Imperfect Delegation: Learning to accept 80% perfect execution from team members Case Study Highlight: The episode features "Sarah," a neuropsychologist struggling with perfectionism and overwhelming workload, illustrating how mindset shifts can transform both practice management and quality of life. Key Takeaways: Success in healthcare practice has less to do with clinical expertise than business mindset Burnout is not the inevitable price of success The most profitable practices are often led by owners who maintain work-life balance Delegation and systems thinking are crucial for sustainable practice growth Moving from "working harder" to "working smarter" requires intentional mindset shifts Download Your Energy Audit here.

Jeannette presents her empowering appearance on the VistaTalks podcast hosted by Simon Hodgkins, in which she shares her journey from leading major organisations like Saga and TUI to establishing her own portfolio of businesses. Jeannette looks at the challenges and strategies for scaling businesses in today's complex environment, emphasising the importance of being brave, bold, and brilliant, and discussing the significance of understanding local markets during international expansion, the role of technology and AI in driving innovation, and the necessity of maintaining a balance between core offerings and new ventures KEY TAKEAWAYS Success in leadership involves three key elements: being brave (leading oneself and investing in personal development), being bold (having a clear strategy and investment case), and being brilliant (creating high-performing teams). When expanding internationally, businesses should think globally but act locally. Understanding cultural nuances, local market conditions, and customer preferences is crucial for success. Effective internal and external communication is vital for global organisations. This includes consistent messaging across different regions, utilising translators, and being aware of cultural norms to foster successful relationships. Businesses need to stay informed about technological advancements, particularly AI, and find a balance between leveraging technology for efficiency while maintaining a strong human element in customer interactions. Incremental improvements in core metrics can lead to significant overall success. BEST MOMENTS "I think when it comes to international expansion, it's really important to think global, but act local." "The biggest mistake that I see with large international corporates is thinking they can enter a market and apply the same way of doing business as they do in a Western developed world." "I always believe that there are three elements to success: brave, bold, and brilliant." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

Join host Jeb Blount Jr. as he welcomes legendary sales expert, Mark Hunter, to The Sales Gravy Podcast! In this episode they dive into actionable Outbound strategies, discuss the latest AI trends, and reveal why authentic relationships are the cornerstone of every successful sale. Key Takeaways – Success in outbound selling relies on maintaining strict discipline, consistent activity, and following a structured process to keep momentum and drive results. – Results in prospecting don't happen overnight; staying consistent over time is key to building a strong pipeline and generating lasting success. – The opening of a conversation is just as important as closing a deal, making daily prospecting essential for building new relationships. – Focusing prospecting activities during peak energy hours increases the likelihood of success, allowing reps to engage with full focus. – A multi-channel outreach approach—integrating phone, email, and social media—reaches a wider audience and meets prospects where they are. – Persistence is non-negotiable in outbound sales; overcoming rejection is part of the journey to closing more deals. – Selling "for people" instead of "to people" fosters trust, and delivering genuine value makes sales interactions more meaningful and memorable. – Handling multiple Ideal Customer Profiles (ICPs) is doable by creating tailored strategies, specific value propositions, and allowing focused time blocks for each profile. – Reducing scattered, unfocused activity by batching outreach for a specific ICP minimizes burnout, increases productivity, and improves employee retention. – AB testing and trial-and-error are essential to determine if an ICP approach is effective, focusing on factors like potential value and customer lifetime worth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5FOoCcHP-g Diversifying Sales Activities Success often comes down to the right mix of activities and strategies. To achieve goals, sales professionals must focus not only on the end results but also on the daily actions that contribute to those results. Understanding the importance of a balanced approach to activities is crucial. Relying on a single tactic, like a pass play in football, can lead to stagnation if opponents catch on. Salespeople must diversify their activities based on various factors, such as their Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), the sales cycle's stage, and their mental state. When these elements align, the rhythm of successful sales becomes apparent. The Obligation to Help A key principle is that if a salesperson has the ability to help someone, they have an obligation to reach out. Many professionals fall into the trap of merely making appointments without considering the value they can bring to potential clients. It's essential to approach sales with the mindset of genuinely helping others rather than pushing a sale. This shift in perspective leads to more meaningful interactions and better results. Building Relationships in Sales Sales is not just about transactions; it's about building relationships. Effective salespeople engage in sales "for" people rather than "to" people. This distinction is crucial for developing trust and creating positive experiences. Sales professionals can often recall encounters with exceptional sales representatives who made a lasting impression, highlighting the importance of providing a memorable sales process. Tailoring Strategies for Multiple ICPs When dealing with multiple ICPs, sales professionals can adopt strategies that allow them to tailor their approach to different customer segments. It's possible to have two or three distinct ICPs, each requiring unique strategies, questions, and value propositions. A suggested approach is to dedicate specific days to focus on each ICP. For instance, a salesperson might spend Tuesdays on one ICP and Wednesdays on another, allowing them to immerse themselves fully in the specific language and needs of ...
