Yollana has been working with clients within her Small Group Coaching, which she calls the Heart Leaders Circle. For someone who is self-employed, leadership can feel like a tricky question, but the truth is that many of our clients are blown about by the winds of other people’s demands or examples.
Leading means really -owning- your business. Yollana has named five principles for heart-centered leadership, and this is the first one. The others will be arriving in due time. 🙂
The first one is to define success for yourself. Too often success is defined by the billboards and advertisements around us, or by the most visible examples of success in your field. But maybe, just maybe, that’s not what you’re really wanting?
What happens when you take on someone else’s definition of success, when you abandon your own heart?
Worth watching, just 4 minutes.
Let’s share our definitions of success. What’s yours?

I love this topic because it’s so important and often missed. Sometimes we can feel held to other people’s standards and not measure up, which can be painful if we don’t stay steady in our own hearts in knowing the lives we want. Success for me is having enough money to be comfortable, to be able to be generous in my community, and having enough time to be with my family and to enjoy my life. Creating our own lives in a way that has integrity for us as individuals can inspire other people to also decide how they want to live and what values they want to put in the forefront.
I love hearing your clear definition of success for you, Monica! 🙂
Thanks so much for this Yollana. I truly resonate with finding our own definitions for success and knowing who we are so well that nurturing ourselves in ways that are perfect for us, is our utmost priority.
Lovely…
Right on Yve 🙂
Thanks for this powerful reminder Yollana. The ability to be myself rather than perceptions of who I should be certainly offers a more attainable and inspiring journey to success. So freeing too!
Yes!
Thanks Yollana! You have a way of bringing topics home & I so appreciate your voice.
Success for me is being in love. Not only the feeling of being in love but also the action of being in love – to enjoy the love that’s here and to notice when I’m numb to it (when I think “it” is absent, missing, or lacking, it is most probably that I am not attuned to what is here).
How that looks in my business? 🙂
Enjoying family, clients, friends, and all the things that money can buy.
“Success for me is being in love” – i love this, Amy! <3
Thank you for sharing this blog regarding success. It comes at a very challenging period in my life It is so easy in a society that defines the value and/or measure of an individual by the letters after their name, who they know or are known by. I recently had some one look at my resume and was told I needed to quantify my contributions to my profession if I wanted to be considered by most hiring managers during my job search. It appears that representing responsibility, compassionate patient care, genuine committment,and intergity although it sounded good in their critique of my resume, would not get me noticed or hired. The values they suggested I include in my resume reminded me of the “red-numbers” you spoke of. I suppose I will not get noticed by hiring managers, because I have never counted the times .
