The single most important ingredient to success

Hello Reader, I've noticed this trend recently. A lot of successful people are saying the same thing. The single most important ingredient to their success has been
They've said it in different ways, like
But they all point to this singular spirit of having patience. Patience to do the work. Yet in our modern life, instant gratification is the norm. We expect things to move faster and faster. And so we end up feeling more and more frustrated. We shift from one thing to another when we're impatient for results. It's the same when building the career of our dreams. I have the benefit of hindsight - I'm turning 50 this year. When I look back, the dots connect so obviously. But never during the time I'm on the dot! If you're feeling like things aren't moving, maybe you just need a little patience. It's hard, I know, when you're ambitious, you feel like you're on the clock, and running out of time. But the whole point of it all is the journey, and what you make out of it. Whether you enjoy yourself on this journey, burn yourself out, or worry about it non-stop. Take a moment today to reflect back on the dots in your life and career thus far.
I'll bet you'll see how they connected beautifully, somehow. Talk to you again next week. Sharon P.S. I'm running my biggest-ever live coaching workshop in June, just in time for a mid-year review.

Last night, I finally dropped $3k on a program I've been thinking about doing for the past 2 years. Each time I had wanted to do it, it felt like too much money - money I didn't have. This time, it isn't that I have the money - of course...
Hi Reader, I ended up the breadwinner, and started a business on the side of my job out of necessity. I had a 6-figure business debt, school going kids to support, my husband wasn't able to work, and I to leave an untenable work situation meaning we had no income. Sounds dramatic, and it definitely caused a lot of stress and anxiety at the time. But that was also when I decided that I was going to get smart about money because nobody was coming to save me I also realized that being in a...
Reader, Work expands to fill the time you give it. That's Parkinson's Law. This past week, I tried giving myself 10 minutes to write my daily LinkedIn post in the mornings. It worked. It might be stressful to some, but it energized me, as I watched the timer counting down while I typed away. 10 minutes isn't a magic number - there's no research behind it. It's just what I could fit into an already early start at 4.30am after my morning routine. So now, my morning routine looks like this...
