What if Everything You Knew About Business Success Was Wrong? with Elizabeth Hamilton Guarino

Are you a coach, consultant, or professional service provider who left the corporate world to pursue your dreams? Are you working hard, hitting your goals, but still feeling like something's missing? That’s more common than you realise.

In episode 102 of the Master Your Business Podcast, I chat with Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino, bestselling author and founder of The Best Ever You Network. Elizabeth challenges traditional notions of success and offers a refreshing perspective on what it truly means to thrive in business and in life.

Redefining Success: It's an Inside Job

Forget the fancy car, the six-figure income, and the Instagram-perfect life. Elizabeth encourages you to ditch external validation and define success on your own terms.

"You can be on the outside looking great, but on the inside feeling terrible, miserable, and just not aligned with what you feel you're truly supposed to do no matter how much you're earning or what you live in or what you drive or your relationships or whatever it is." - Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino

This means tuning into your internal compass and asking yourself: What truly brings me joy and fulfilment? What impact do I want to make in the world?

Comprehensive Success: More Than Just the Bottom Line

Elizabeth introduces the concept of "comprehensive success," which encompasses all areas of your life – not just your business. Think relationships, spirituality, wellness, and personal growth. It's about creating a life that feels balanced and fulfilling on all levels.

So, how can you achieve this holistic sense of success (without the woo-woo if that’s not your thing)? Elizabeth suggests starting with these key steps:

Visualisation

Imagine the life you want to create. What does it look like? How does it feel?

Action

Don't just dream it – do it! Take consistent action towards your goals, even if it's just one small step at a time.

Belief

Believe in yourself and your vision, even when faced with setbacks or naysayers.

The Power of Support and Gratitude

Building a strong support system is crucial for your success journey. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and your dreams. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

And don't forget the power of gratitude! Cultivating a gratitude practice can shift your perspective and help you appreciate the good in your life, even when things get tough.

Elizabeth shares a simple but powerful technique called the "gratitude flip." Instead of saying "I have to," try saying "I get to." For example, "I get to work on my business today," or "I get to connect with my clients." This subtle shift in language can make a big difference in your mindset.
