Do you know what Sustainable Success looks like for you?
Or have you – like so many of us – tried to follow what some super successful person said worked for them (and wondered why it hasn’t worked for you)?
Here’s the thing: your success will ONLY be sustainable if your strategy is an excellent match with who you are. Forcing yourself to do something because someone else said it worked great for them is not likely to work for you unless it feels really good in YOU.
The only person who can define with any accuracy what success is for you, is you.
We’re taught to outsource our trust in how to build our businesses to external experts, but that’s never going to lead to the high level of inner authority needed to create your unique brand and a sustainable business that has longevity.
There is another way!
In episode 2 of season 2 we explore:
- Learning to trust your internal voice about how to build your businesses, rather than external authorities who say they know “the one way” to be successful
- How to distinguish whether something is actually moving you towards your unique version of sustainable success or not
- Establishing your own locus of nuanced clarity about what feels good to you in your business
YOU are the only expert on what a sustainably successful business looks like for you!

“Most online business owners have been taught how to build a business that is successful according to someone else’s definition of success. And rarely have they been encouraged to ask, ‘What does success mean for me?’, let alone, ‘What does sustainable success look like, feel like and mean, for me?’. You are the only marker that tells whether something you are doing is sustainable or successful, or not.”
