In my previous post, Learning to be successful, I listed 5 steps to feeling successful. When I wrote the article, I actually thought that I could learn to feel successful; then, I listened to Steve Little speak on success. It was a short promo for a program he is marketing, but his approach to defining success for yourself rang true for me. In his short video, he teaches a way for you to define success so that it is meaningful and personal. I was very much surprised by the results…realizing that what I had defined as success prior to the exercise was really what I had been taught was success, not really what my gut instincts told me it was. And guess what? Based on my new definition, I am wildly successful.
I was so moved by Steve Little’s technique for defining personal success, that I wrote a speech about the technique for a Toastmaster presentation at my club, Positively Speaking Toastmasters. Afterward, I received a lot of positive feedback. Our club records the speeches as a tool for improvement. I thought you might enjoy listening to it and possibly learn a technique for helping you define success for yourself.
So, did this technique help you redefine what success means for you? If so, what will you differently?
