The Resilience Myth: What Successful People Really Do Instead


Listen Later

It’s time to bust one of the biggest myths around - that resilience is the golden ticket to your success. We’re taught that if we just push a little bit harder, grind longer and prove we can handle it, somehow we’ll win at this game of life and business. Spoiler alert: we’ve been sold a furphy.  

I’ve experienced firsthand the pressure this creates, and see it all the time with my clients. Some of them are absolutely smashing it.  But behind the scenes, the cracks are starting to form. And the worst part? They’re telling themselves they need to push even harder.

The hustle linked to ‘resilience’ has the potential to break us. I don’t want to live that way - and I’m sure you don’t, either. So, let's debunk this myth together and discover what to do instead to build sustainable success. We’ll explore the four pillars of sustainable success that have become my framework for creating a life and business by design:

  1. Purpose: Align work with what energises you
  2. Prosperity: Ensure fair value exchange
  3. Pleasure: Integrate joy into daily life
  4. Freedom: Make choices that reflect your values, knowing sustainable success comes from intentional adaptation, not endless endurance. 

Here’s what I know now: success doesn’t have to be equated with sacrifice. I encourage you to reflect. Where in your life are you still stubbornly being the 'rock'? Where can you allow yourself to be more like the 'river'? As you reflect on this, consider what small changes you might make today that your future self will thank you for.
