What's the key to success at work and in life as a
career climbing success seeker? This is a question
that I had throughout my corporate career. I read
all of the books, I took the courses, watch the
videos and spoke to every super successful leader
that would let me pick their brains, and I
uncovered the keys to success. And today I'm
sharing them with you. If you cannot wait to find
out what they are, tap that like button and let's
jump straight into it. The first key to success is
clarity. There is a societal vision of success
that has really been sold to us, it probably
includes a high powered job, a really big house, a
fancy car, a stunningly beautiful partner, and
maybe a few kids and some fancy designer items
sprinkled in around there for good measure. And
that's all perfectly well and good. And having
those things is great, I can tell you from
experience, but when we dig a little bit deeper,
there is kind of this like hypo macho dude
archetype of a successful person, which might not
necessarily feel like you. And the whole success
lifestyle of throwing money around and popping
bottles of dime and attending yacht parties isn't
something that everyone wants. I mean, personally,
I wouldn't mind the DOM in the y'all party. So if
you're having one of those, I want to invite me
along totally in. But for these different areas of
our life, we really need to answer a hard question
to answer what does success look like for you?
What does your career look like? What do you
actually want your life to look like? What do you
enjoy doing? And you want to do more of these are
really important questions that help us define
what success is. And in fact, this is so important
that my next video is going to help you answer
that question of what is success to me. So make
sure if you're not already to subscribe, so that
you don't miss out when it comes out. with
clarity, though, we need a couple of additional
things, especially once we've established what
success looks like for us, we need to know what we
actually want to do in our careers. And well, I
guess our lives as well, we need to know what
we're good at. And what we want to do more of. And
ultimately, we need to be clear on how we want to
grow our careers. And what we want our lives to
look like every super successful executive that I
have spoken to has had this level of clarity on
what they want their careers to look like. They've
always started with a longer term vision of what
they were actually trying to build and making
decisions and daily actions to get them closer to
that vision that they have for themselves. And
that actually leads me to the second key to
success at work and in life. And that is intent
success does not happen by accident, for example,
made me one CEO of a multi billion dollar
corporation that is gotten there by accident. If
you want to get a couple of rungs up the corporate
ladder, chances are you're up against people who
know exactly what they want, and are very
intentional about going out there to get it. This
really starts with having your career goals. Once
you know what success looks like for you. What are
your actual goals in order to get to that vision
of success for your life and your career. And when
you establish those goals, how are you going to
bring them to life, I'm a huge fan of planning and
breaking down the steps to actually attain those
goals. So walking back from a five year goal to a
one year goal, to a monthly goal to a daily goal.
These things all intertwine. And when it comes to
being successful at work. And being successful in
life. It's our daily strategic action over the
course of time, that is what is really going to
bring us there with the two keys of clarity and
intention, you are going to be well on your way.
But without the next key to success, you're really
going to struggle to achieve that success that you
want to create in your career. And in your life.
If you don't take the next key to success and run
with that. And that key to success is awareness.
There is a few different levels to this, you can
be doing the greatest work in the whole world. But
if no one knows about it, they're not going to be
able to praise you and promote you for it. And
this really starts with an inside job. You need to
be aware of all of the impacts that you're
creating the good work that you do, and why you
are so awesome and destined for success. If you
are not aware of your own potential other people
are going to struggle with it. So again, this
actually kind of loops back to that whole clarity
thing. So knowing yourself, knowing what you're
great at. And having that self awareness is what's
going to make it apparent to others. We also need
to make sure that we're doing things like
promoting our accomplishments and demonstrating
how we're experts whenever we're given the
opportunity or creating our own opportunities to
do so. And this is something that I actually
really deep dive into in my new program, the
career glow app program, just in case you're
interested in checking that out to learn more, I
will leave a link down below everyone that I know
that has achieved the level of success that they
always dreamed of. And honestly sometimes, maybe
even a little Little bit more, has really eased
these three things to see a clarity, intent and
awareness. But there is one byproduct of these
three things that is the most crucial. And even if
you just have this one thing, your success is
inevitable. And that key to success, my friend is
confidence. Confidence is absolutely everything.
And I know that if you're someone who's struggling
with self confidence, this can feel like a catch
22 because you would feel confident if you had
more success. But in order to get more success,
you need to have more confidence. So it's like
chicken or the egg and you don't know what to do.
Well. One thing I will say is once you have those
three things on lock, once you have clarity,
intention and awareness, your confidence is
organically going to grow. But there's also things
that you can do right now today to appear more
confident and feel more confident. I want you to
