Have you ever achieved something—only to realize it didn’t bring the fulfillment you expected? That’s what happens when we chase success without defining it for ourselves. In this episode of Commit to High Performance Growth, we’re diving deep into one of the most powerful questions I explore with my high-performance coaching clients: What does success truly mean to you?
So many people unknowingly adopt society’s definition of success—chasing six- or seven-figure businesses, social status, or external validation—only to find themselves overwhelmed, burned out, and unfulfilled. But true success isn’t about checking off someone else’s boxes; it’s about crafting a vision that aligns with your values, priorities, and deepest sense of purpose.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ Why defining success for yourself is crucial to long-term fulfillment.
✅ How societal norms, social media, and well-meaning mentors can shape a false definition of success.
✅ A simple yet powerful exercise to clarify your vision of success.
✅ How to align your daily habits and long-term goals with what truly matters to you.
Success looks different for everyone—whether you’re an entrepreneur, a stay-at-home mom, or a corporate professional. When you take the time to define success on your terms, you gain the clarity and confidence to create a life and business that feel truly fulfilling.
Take Action: I challenge you to take a few moments today to reflect on what success means to you. Write it down, say it out loud, and begin shaping your goals and habits around that vision.
Listen now and start redefining success on your terms!
