There are things that help us achieve success and things that hold us back. My goal is to make sure you’re aware of the former and avoid the latter!

Back in my corporate life I always had the reputation of being tenacious. My old boss used to refer to me as a dog with a bone – I would never give up, and this has served me.

Working for yourself can be a labour of love! You can come up against walls and it can be a lonely job trying to break through them. Many people give up. And sadly, some people don’t know how close they are to success when they do give up. Like I mentioned in a previous blog; it took me merely months to breakthrough after years of not succeeding. What if I had given up that day 12 months ago when it felt like enough was enough?

So, what are the 2 things that will guarantee your success?

First, let me say, you can apply these to any goal, whether it be your business, weight loss or personal development. This is tried and tested, so grab a pen!

The first one is so simple, it will make you crazy. Once you swallow this magic nugget of advice, things will start happening for you…

Success Tip #1 Show up consistently and with applied effort

What do I mean?

If you are trying to lose weight, grab the trainers and head out for that walk every day. If you have a business goal to get your brand out there, put your face in front of a Facebook live every day. If you have the goal to develop personally, pick up that book every day and read 10 pages, or listen to that webinar; whatever actions you set to work towards your goal, show up and do them consistently and with applied effort. EASY.

So, what stops us doing this already?

Well, that’s Success Tip #2…. Accountability.

Accountability to keep showing up consistently and with applied effort is actually hard to find. If there is no one standing over you making sure you don’t hit the snooze button, it is really hard to get out of bed and go for that run before work. If no one is standing next to the pantry shaking a finger at you and looking disappointed as you reach for that Krispy Kreme donut it is really easy to scoff it. And the same in your business, some days that phone weighs at least ten kilos when you have to pick it up and start cold calling all over again and sometimes it is just easier to take the day off. However, that day off will cost you. In contrast, if you know you’re meeting your business coach tomorrow and they are going to ask you whether you have called that list of people you promised to, you are much more likely to call them!

You catching my drift? Accountability is the fastest way to progress.

And it’s generally where we fall down. Especially when we work in our own business; there is no one motivating us every day. And therein lies the power of having a coach, someone enabling your success – to set goals each week together, talk through obstacles, create strategies, think outside the box and reframe things when the going gets tough (so the tough doesn’t get going!)

Take a look at how I can help you here! And set that intention right now to show up more consistently in action towards your goal.

With you in your success!

12 months before the day I arrived at where I am now I had zero belief in myself and my ability to succeed. It reflected in every single area of my life as a lack of success and it prevented me putting myself out there/into things 100% because of a fear of failure if I tried. Whatever I tried, I just couldn’t truly believe I could succeed and I also feared that the higher I climbed on the ladder of success, the farther I would inevitably fall, so staying stuck was actually a very comfortable safety blanket.

It took me a really long time to set the intention to change my life for good and get to where I am today, but the time it took to do the work to arrive once I started, was literally months! There is learning in that and I realised I could help a lot of people by sharing it.

I have always had a calling to help people, and as I discovered the freedom I gained from working for myself, I felt drawn to specifically helping other visionary women achieve their dreams. Women like me who feel like they have got more to give in this world, but have found themselves on the wrong track, or have started down the right track, but met obstacles like the money not coming in and so their confidence has depleted and their belief has faded that success will ever happen. It’s easy to feel you can’t make a living out of the work that sets your soul on fire when you don’t experience success straight away. And it’s easy to get blocked by fears, either conscious or unconscious, and the doubts that are created by fear, like belief in ourselves.

We can go on, controlled by our fears and trapped in our situation forever, if we want to, or we can set the intention like I did to change. What did I change? I started to invest in my own personal development, – I learned how to think, rather then what to think. This supported me to change my mindset, supported me to release my limiting beliefs and completely transform my self-talk. I became more positive and grew proud of my “I’ll figure it out” approach that I’d previously put myself down for and criticised as being a poor substitute for training and qualifications.

limiting belief_burning — Me burning my limiting beliefs… it felt liberating!

As my life transformed I realised something important. We can sit around and wait for success to pass us by or we can take action and work on the one thing, the key ingredient, that is guaranteed to make us a success – ourselves.
