Are You on Track to Truly Defining Success in Your Life?

Dear Friend:

I offer a Life Balance Breakthrough Session to everyone who asks for it.

The process takes about 30 minutes and I am told — repeatedly — that it’s a significant turning point in the lives of the people who take advantage of this strategy session.

What can I do in 30 minutes that can make this type of difference?

Simple.   And it’s a single-but-powerful thing.

I can help you become more successful by helping your figure out the top 3 ways that you define success for yourself.

Please let me introduce myself. My name is Lorene Collier Purcy and I’m a Life Prosperity Coach. I work with individuals who have too many choices/options in their lives and who feel the need to design a simple, sustainable, flexible and elegant life and lifestyle.

Not just a great life, or an ideal life or a rewarding life, but rather a perfect life. (Yes, it’s possible. It’s challenging work and it’s what I what I do for a living.)

One of the things that I’ve learned in my years of coaching individuals is how important it is for them to simply, richly and perfectly describe how THEY truly define success.

  • Not how their parents defined success.
  • Not how their company defines success.
  • Not how their culture.
  • Not how their neighbors define success.
  • And not how they USED to define success.
  • But how they define success today.

Why does this matter? 

Because until you’re clear on how you define success, success will be defined for you.

I was speaking recently with a colleague and she asked me “So, how would you coach me in the next 30 minutes?”

In the past, I would have blundered and bluffed my way through this process by asking her a lot of questions, offering some observations and speaking really, really fast in order to cram a couple of years of coaching into 30 minutes just to impress her.

After trying that about a dozen times in the past year, I realized that it was not the cleverest of approaches.

Fortunately, I now ask THE question to get my colleague — or anyone — thinking about themselves and their life in a very personal way.

I ask:

How do you define success…

…and would you let me help you tweak that definition?

(That latter part gives me the permission I need to coach and the freedom for the other person to be really honest with me.)

Within a second of asking this question, I can hear them thinking because it’s probably the first time they’ve heard this question posed this way…

After they ponder the question for a bit, the first of several definitions pops out and then the others follow.

Typically, they say things like:

  • My family is important to me.
  • I need to be successful at work.
  • My health matters to me.

These are definitely important areas! But their first-cut at the answers is rarely powerful enough to make much of a difference in their lives.

So, then I start to help…

The coaching kicks in as I help the person to articulate what they most mean. And, believe me, they mean more than what they first said.

After about 30 minutes of back and forth discussion, they usually get very specific and the light bulb flashes on and they NOW know what’s most important to them in their lives. Because they’ve gotten specific — really specific about it.

And, once they are clear, the first thing they usually do is spend more time in their life making sure that they can do more of that.

As a result, their success occurs naturally. It pulls them. They stop pushing it. This is a significant — and pleasure — change in one’s approach to life.

Before and after…

Here’s a typical set of before-and-after answers to the How do you define success? question. Again, these are just examples of how ONE person came up with to define success after our 30-minute discussion.

  • Before: My family is important to me.

After: I know I’m being successful with my family when we look forward to spending time together.

  • Before: I need to be successful at work.

After: I know how successful I am by how much I am enjoying what I do, not how much I am accomplishing.

  • Before: My health matters to me.

After: I know I’m being successful by how much natural energy my body has.

Why does it matter to “get it right” when identifying how you define success? Because until it’s been specifically articulated and personalized, it doesn’t do much good. It’s just a cliché’ or a vague answer until you’ve zeroed in on what REALLY matters most to you.

And getting to this level of clarify is where I can add value in this process. That’s where the coaching happens.

Why does this 30-minute process work?

This “How Do You Truly Define Success” process works because it provides…

1. Automatic prioritizing

You now know what is MOST important to you. This process automatically lowers the priority of the many things that could or should be important to you.

2. Excellent filtering

You now have an automatic filtering and screening system that protects you from the distractions of interesting-but-diversionary goals and ideas.

3. Instant meaning

Your search for meaning in life has just been successful. A benefit of this process is that you can connect the dots between success and meaning. An vital connection that has been, for many, rather elusive.

Intrigued?

For someone new to the whole idea of coaching, it gives them a real-world way to experience coaching and leaves them with something worthwhile that will expand — not diminish — over time.
