The Real Secret To Success
If I tell you that I’m about to share the one true key to success with you, what would you expect to hear?
5 am starts?
Smart investments?
A healthy body and mind?
Whilst alllll of those things sound like tips straight outta the grow girl handbook, it’s not where I was going with this…
Don’t get me wrong, these are all factors that might well aid you towards success, but I would argue that they’re not the KEY driver, the mother of all success strategies, if you like.
Purpose.
Purpose is what will really push you to success!
Why? Because when it gets hard, when you’re facing doubt, overwhelm, obstacles & tbh you’re just tired AF of the grind - all the spreadsheets in the world won’t keep you going.
That deep sense of purpose though, that’s what will keep you pushing onward.
Before you click off, thinking that you’re not a visionary, you aren’t spiritual and you don’t think you have a true purpose - let me stop you there.
Because I believe we all have a purpose, it’s just that only some of us are aware of it.
Your purpose doesn’t have to be something incredibly profound, like discovering the new planet that humankind should move to. It doesn’t have to be inventing the newest technology that will change the world.
But whatever it is, you will change the world in your own little, (or large), way.
It’s the impact you want to leave on this place, and the people in it.
My purpose is to empower more women to live the life they dream of. Whether that be to become CEO of their dream company, or just to be happy and free of constant anxiety and stress. Whether I do that through coaching someone on their business skills, or just helping them to change the way they view their most recent break-up, isn’t as important as that purpose that i’m trying to fulfil.
Because the ‘how’ will often change and evolve, and this is where success can evade us. I mean, let’s look at technology, which is changing all the time. ‘Blockbuster’ evaded success because the ‘how’ changed. DVDs and videos were becoming extinct. Perhaps if they’d focused on their purpose, which I can only assume was to ‘entertain’ people through tv & film, they wouldn’t have turned down the opportunity to invest in ‘Netflix’! Why? Because they’d have seen it as an opportunity to continue to fulfil their purpose, albeit in a different format than they perhaps anticipated.
My point of this little side story, is that things will always change, but your purpose will act as your glasses, providing you the clarity to find your route again.
But what if you don’t know your purpose?
I’m 99.9% sure that it’s there to be discovered. You just have to peel back the layers to reveal it. It takes a little self work and reflection, but i’d argue it’s the single most important thing you’ll learn in your ‘grow girl’ journey.
