If Success Was Easy, Everyone Would Have It...

Good morning!

Success may look different to everyone but today I wanted to remind you that in order to have success however you define it, you will need to prioritize it and that means making sacrifices, putting yourself in uncomfortable situations and saying no to other things.

Sounds like it's not that hard but it really can be.

My Twenties were spent moving to a place I had never been, Saginaw Michigan, where I knew no one, to accept a sweat equity partnership while all of my friends were still in Boston focused on going out and dating. My partner was the financial backer in our deal so he didn't move or work with me daily, that pressure was on me.

We bought that company for $25M and I built a team and together over 3 years we accelerated revenues so drastically that we sold that company for $55M. My partners were very happy and I had the first real time example of what it takes to create business success.

While my friends were living their best lives, I was working for 3 years straight. No vacations, no days off, goal and vision locked and victory was achieved. Here is what I know for sure: You don't always see the sacrifices others are making to get where they are.

You may see someone's success on the outside but that is only one dimensional.

You are missing the sleepless nights, concerns with what if I made the wrong decision and the not knowing if it will ever work out.

With no Risk there will never be a big reward. That is fact.

Success has a compounding factor to it that is priceless.

Once we sold that company I had built a reputation for myself that afforded me landing a VP of Sales job for a publicly traded company. Once I landed that role I was promoted 3 times becoming the CRO. I wouldn't have landed any of those roles if I hadn't created the business expertise I developed in my twenties.

To go for more, you are going to need to bet on YOU!

That takes confidence. As I travel around the world speaking on stages I hear the same challenges - Fear, lack of confidence, doubt, feeling stuck and so on.

Today is your reminder that you were made for more.

You are going to have to take the leap if you ever want to realize your potential.

There is something so much bigger within you and it is your job to unlock it.

Well I can't comment on your page, which disturbs me. And this thing I'm commenting on sounds like another hamster wheel to me.

It all begins with You. I have always been a believer of letting my work do the talking rather than anyone else. And that is the biggest proof we have. Great going on the launch of your book Heather Monahan
