Ep #46: The Secret to Success

July 20, 2022

Permission is such a loaded word, conjuring up the image of authority figures, like parents, teachers, and bosses. And since most of us were raised with rules around so many things, we often grow up and develop the habit of looking to others for permission. But if you’re an adult and you find yourself still asking for permission, you’re undermining your full potential and your ability to be successful.

We’re not talking about breaking laws, borrowing something without asking, being insubordinate, or disregarding the feelings of others. We’re talking about giving away your power by asking for permission in lieu of being in touch with what you either want or need, and the solution lies in giving yourself permission to succeed.

Tune in this week to understand the secret to success. I’m sharing why we often unconsciously look outside of ourselves for permission, especially when we’re trying something new, and why if you want to be successful, you need to consider giving yourself permission to succeed.
