Can success make you cry?

 

What is the true meaning of success? What do you feel when you think about success? In the  past couple weeks I have been fortunate to work with a very cool client whose passion is health, changing people’s lives and emotional healing. Every time we talk, I could see tears on his eyes sharing his vision and the results he had with clients throughout the years. It is really amazing to see a man tear up from the joy of loving people and giving his heart.

Can success make you cry?

Yes, I believe it can! It is a life experience. It comes from deep within ourselves. When we have peace of mind, happiness and harmony in doing what we love… that is SUCCESS!

When I thought about the steps to create success and things I have done that were successful and some that were not successful, I discovered one common thing;  I knew what I wanted. I had passion. I loved what I was doing so much hat I could not stop talking about it. I listened more to people because I was not in a rush to sell them my products. I had patience. I felt complete and knew I could be ME.

I want to talk about three vital steps with you:

The First Step, is about finding what we love. After attending several marketing events, I met “gurus” whose focus was mainly on the MONEY. They told me “Tatyana, you have to have passion that brings money!” Well, I agree, but at the same time, I do not agree! Yes, we all want to create profits. No questions asked. But…if we focus only on money and not on our passion, we will lose patience and we will NOT see the bigger vision… and if it does not work, we will quit and move on to something else, driven by money. Passion allows us to endure challenges that will arise and it gives us hope when things look bleak.

I realized that my passion was teaching, coaching, inspiring, challenging people’s minds and also entertaining people. I even wrote a blog about EDUTAINING others.  The reason I am sharing this with you is because when you express who you are and live your dream, other people’s influence will not matter.

When you find out what you love to do, do not let fear grip you! Never be afraid to express yourself. Never deny yourself of the ability to speak, write and create. If you do not express your vision, your life will not be complete! Success will NOT happen without having the peace of mind from KNOWING what you do makes a difference in the lives of others and that your life is an example of it.

Lesson learned: Unless you are in love with your work you cannot call yourself successful!

However, sometimes we do not know what we want, RIGHT? What should we do then? We really must take time off and relax our minds and believe that when we are quite, we will hear answers. When the answer comes to you, it will bring tears of joy and total relief! As you will begin see, you are on the way to success! Without clarity, you cannot manifest your dreams.  A few months ago, I spoke on this topic in my video “How to manifest your dreams and desires“.. What is really missing?

Your Second Step is to find one area that you want to focus on and really work at it, master it, and improve it. If we spread ourselves too thin we burn out and begin to lose every chance of achieving success! We become ambitious and enthusiastic when we love what we do and focus on learning and growing our business. In the world of publicity this is extremely important because people buy from your story and your story carries energy. Your focus should never be about getting by financially doing what you do, but fully giving your heart to your purpose, mission and vision.  Your attitude is very important when it comes to knowing what you want. Usually when people are not passionate about the niche they are in they just want to “get by” because they totally do not believe in what they do. Then it is time to look in a new direction.

Your third step is about your desire to bring success into the lives of other people… it is not only about your success! Not with selfish agenda, but with an attitude of giving. As a part of your PR campaigns, you can host charity events, run contests, and special promotions to get more attention. Your business must be driven by the desire to serve others. Companies like Zappos, Chick-Fillet,  and Apple understand the value of giving their time, positive energy and resources to customers.

In closing, I just want to remind you that the most important ingredient of all three steps outlined above is your own thoughts about your success. What you believe, you receive!

And… often they are tears of joy!

 

Have a great week!
