Success is fascinating! We all yearn for it and strive for it, yet we’re filled with fear and don’t know what to do with it once it’s in our hands. Co-host, Arash grappled with the meaning of success while at university, and he begins today’s conversation by explaining why success is only possible once you know who you are, who you want to become, and what you hope to achieve in life. We learn about the role of obstacles in breeding success, the importance of immersing yourself in the right community, why discipline is key, and how to build a success mindset. Along with our new definition of success, we unpack the dangers of fear and imposter syndrome in long-lasting security, how being obsessed with your ‘want’ will bring you closer to achieving it, the cost of personal transformation and emancipating oneself, and the shared characteristics of every person considered to be in the top tier of success. We end with the action step of the week which urges us to be more observant of ourselves, our current situation, and our dreams.
