161: Reclaim Personal Success and Ambition as Your Own
Overview
Before we can step into Sustainable Ambition, we first have to challenge what we’ve been taught to believe about success and ambition. From there, we can build the foundation for our Sustainable Ambition.
Today I’m sharing an excerpt of the audiobook for Sustainable Ambition: How to Prioritize What Matters to Thrive in Life and Work. Chapter Two is called “ Reclaim Personal Success and Ambition as Your Own,” and breaks down why you need to define success on your own terms and offers a broader, more freeing way to think about ambition.
In the chapter, I also explain why I use the word “right” when talking about Right Ambition, Right Time, Right Effort, and it’s not because there is a wrong way.
