Starting the Conversation

078 | What people don't tell you about success


Listen Later

Last week on Instagram I shared a quote that resonated with me... "It's windier at the top" and while this is a tricky, slightly uncomfortable topic to explore, I think that's the very reason that we should face it head on and have the conversation. 

Personally, I attach a lot of feelings to levels of success, whether that is being fully booked with clients, earning an certain amount or being invited to an event etc and it's very easy for us to always think 'I'll feel successful when... "

Having now reached some of these goals I know that from the outside everything can look shiny and perfect, but the fear and self doubt continues and gaining ''success" also brings along a new set of challenges. 

My co-host this week, Molly Masters, has had great success launching her business, Books That Matter, but this chat takes us behind the scenes to break down the perception of everything going effortlessly well. From how to manage expectations to why it's so important to celebrate the wins and focus on what makes us feel happy - it was a really interesting conversation to open up.

What are your thoughts on the episode? As ever I'd love to hear from you over on Instagram!
