Do you want to have more success?

In this article, I'll be sharing three ways you can have more success in your personal and professional life.

I don't have to tell you this, but every accomplishment starts with taking imperfect action. It is the foundation for any personal or professional success you will ever have in life.

Small steps are critical because they will lead to small wins and help you get the momentum going.  

One way to have more success in life is to start.

I'm writing a book about leadership and am interviewing remarkable people to learn their journey.  

I interviewed Rute, who has over 30 years of professional experience. She is a remarkably bold leader who loves connecting with others and has been a teacher, secretary, and office manager. She now has her own business, where she helps organizations connect and collaborate.

The second way to have more success, inspired by Rute, is to understand your team truly.  

Know what makes them tick, what they love, what they hate, what they are most proud of, and their insecurities and fears. You can then treat them in such a way that they will thrive.

The third way to have more success is to get inspired.

One way to get inspired is to write a letter from your future self (3 years in the future) to your present self. Your future self is giving you advice on how to get here. What will your future self tell you to get you where you want to be?

My advice: Listen to yourself!

What are you willing to struggle for on your journey towards success?  

Will you let me know what insight you gained from this article?

Thank you.

God bless you,

Shermain
