In this episode, I have the great pleasure of speaking with Master Life Coach, Author, and Speaker Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino on her book “ The Success Guidebook: How to Visualize, Actualize, and Amplify You .” Elizabeth challenges us to rethink and redefine what success means and to do so individually and not on a cookie-cutter basis (this coming from a chocolate chip cookie connoisseur!). It is important to first figure out what your passion is clues of which may be present during our childhood and then formulate it in clear and concrete terms both to yourself and others. As she explains, it is best to not compare yourself with others but rather visualize what you would like to achieve. Although there may be physical limitations, there are no age limits on what you can do as long as you can see it, be it, and then follow through by doing it. At the same time, it is essential to have a positive outlook even (or especially) during hard and difficult times but also to surround oneself with positive people who understand and fully support you alongside your wishes and desires. In fact, as Elizabeth illustrates, often the desire to change and grow comes from initially feeling stuck and being at an impasse in life. Yet by taking the step-by-step process toward comprehensive success as you visualize, actualize and then amplify this unique path of yours, you can start celebrating the smaller wins as you aim and reach toward the bigger ones. And at all times, it is important to keep your positivity intact, be surrounded by loving and caring people, and be grateful for what you have instead of worrying and fretting over that which you do not have (yet).
