It’s Healthy High Performer’s 15th episode, which Kelly considers to be a major milestone on this show’s journey—to reach this point requires consistency, determination, and being able to learn from your mistakes.

At the time of this recording, Kelly had just gotten off a call with the women in her Ascend Mastermind. She’s so thankful to be a part of this driven group of women and be able to witness the positive changes they’ve made over the last year. Key to their collective success is being able to recognize where they’re failing in their lives—personal, professional, spiritual—and then enacting changes before those failures turn into ruts. If we have enough self-awareness to know when we’re slipping and not doing as well as we could, we have a chance to correct our course and make necessary, positive changes.

In this episode, Kelly asks you to look over key areas of your life and consider how you’re controlling your fear (or vice versa), if you’re stuck in inaction, who besides yourself you’re trying to satisfy, and what you’re actually doing to invest in your success. Also, that Ascend Mastermind she speaks so highly of? You can sign up for its mailing list at http://www.kellytravis.net/ascendlist.

The Finer Details of This Episode:

- Really think about what you’re failing at right now—or at the very least an area of your life with significant room for improvement.

- Consider if the people you surround yourself with are truly inspirational and want to raise you up.

- The common characteristics of healthy high performers and why not settling is a key trait.

- Taking a closer look at how self-help actually works and why all of the reading and preparation in the world means little if you’re not willing or able to take action.

- Why Kelly views fear as not only necessary to your growth but very healthy as well.

- Realize that in your journey toward self-improvement, you’re not going to please everybody—nor should you want to.

- Ultimately, recognize that long-term success and improvement requires investment on all levels: investing in yourself spiritually, investing in yourself physically, and investing in your own work or business.

- TAKE ACTION: Really take inventory of where you are in your journey. Are you being held back by fear or letting it motivate you? Are you resting on your laurels or taking action? Who are you still trying to please?

- UPCOMING: For next week’s episode, Kelly is talking all about forgiveness—not just forgiving others, but yourself as well.
