Lightbulb Moment 19: Why success means so much more than money, with Dame Mary Perkins DBE, co-founder of Specsavers


Listen Later

In just 12 minutes, listen to how you can plan for your brightest future by re-evaluating what success means to you. 

Have you ever sat down and thought about what you consider ‘being successful’? Not just based on what we’re taught it means, to make more money or buy a bigger house – but have you been honest with yourself about what makes your heart full after a hard day’s work? 

This week, Holly bares all when it comes to recognising what success means to each of us individually. For a long time, Holly was running after the success she thought she should want, until she realised that no materialistic thing could give her the sense of purpose that she wanted. Now, Holly feels success every day, and she’s here to tell us why. 

Taken from Holly’s exclusive interview with the infamous Dame Mary Perkins DBE, co-founder of Specsavers, Mary shares in this short episode, the very best pieces of advice that she has learnt through building her globally recognised brand. Recalling her own experiences, Mary reveals her secret remedy for success – and you'll discover it's the opposite to what you've been told all these years...

So ask yourself, how will you know when you’ve achieved the success you want?
