I'm always talking about energy when I'm working with people. I'm not even a woo-woo coach.

I just know what it feels like to feel completely empty and devoid of satisfaction.

I know what it feels like to create "success" in your life that you feel like you can't keep up.

So, now that I'm doing work that fills me up and that I never want to stop doing, I can't help but talk about things in terms of energy.

And to me energy is about being filled up with fuel that lasts. I was noodling on that idea one day when it finally hit me:

I am passionate about helping people create lives that are FULFILLING and success that is SUSTAINABLE.

Everyone is different. Even within the same industry, people have different reasons for doing the work they do in the way they do it.

A lot of the time people don't know why they are doing what they are doing for a living. And then they encounter someone who truly seems like they have it figured out. And they wonder, "How did they do that? How did they create that life?"

It all comes down to their ability to manage their energy. I'm not talking about managing their time, that comes along with it, I'm talking about managing their energy at the highest level possible.

Sure, they have problems they have to deal with and they have bad days from time to time, but when you are around them they just seem to be on the right path.

When it gets down to it, these people are fulfilled by what they do day in and day out, and they can keep it up.

Their lives are FULFILLING and the success they create along the way is SUSTAINABLE.

What do I mean by fulfilling? Look at this definition and tell me what would fully developing your character and abilities look like?

You gotta dig in and understand WHY you are here. As in here on earth.

What is your PURPOSE?

What gets you out of bed every morning?

What would make you feel satisfied as you end your work day?

What are your VALUES?

What kind of legacy do you want to have?

When you are clear about these things and are acting on a daily basis to live them, you experience fulfillment.

The thing is, you are never done with this. Fulfillment isn't something you achieve and never worry about again. It is something you experience as a result of the action you take in the world.

Ok, let's talk making your success SUSTAINABLE.

A lot of people achieve "success", but they can't always keep it up. They contort themselves into someone they aren't to achieve something someone told them they should want. It's totally possible to do this, but it is like throwing wood on a fire that burns really hot, but really fast. That's a lot of fuel you have to burn through to keep things going.

Making your success sustainable is about understanding who you are at your best and working with that instead of trying to be someone you are not.

This allows you to use your energy most efficiently on the things that matter most to the impact you are trying to have in the world. It also allows you to figure out how to get the other stuff done through other people who LOVE to do what you don't.

When you get the sustainability in place, you don't have as much worry about how to keep it all going.

You begin to realize that doing what matters most to you in the way that is most in line with who you are builds up a reserve of fuel that burns slow, but hot.

This means you get amazing things done without burning out.

So, if you are a leader that shows up everyday drained, worried about the future and frustrated by the people you are surrounded by, it's time to turn your lens toward YOU.

It's time to dig deep and figure out how YOU can do your business in a way that is more natural and energizing to YOU.

It's time to bring to light why YOU are here and what YOU care most about and learn how to communicate that to your team, partners and clients.

No one else can figure this out for you. People like me can facilitate your discovery, but it's up to YOU to be willing to discover it.

It all starts with YOU.
