Some people have a clear vision of how they want to start their adult life by focusing on their professional careers. They seem to have a disposition toward something in particular like becoming a doctor, lawyer, teacher, investment banker, or even working in Hollywood. They know what they want and they build a plan to get there.
Others are unsure of what it is they want out of life and spend years following varying yellow brick roads only to arrive in Oz unfulfilled.
Most of us are trained to focus on the next milestone in front of us without considering the type of life we truly want. Who we want to be and what it takes to get there.
How do you feel about where you are in life today?
Are you a type A person who likes to have plan? Do you favor the execution of the daily activities to keep you motivated to seek the results? Is your success formula wrapped up in achievement mostly at work, yet you wane at the other aspects of life– family, relationships, finances. The, “If I execute and achieve the rest will work itself out?”. Yet while the work part is knocking it out of the park, the other facets of life are crumbling pillars often in time, resulting in the entire structure falling down.
Or are you a type B where you have strong compassion and empathy and feel you are here to serve others beyond serving yourself. You find boundaries of self love and self security to be secondary to the service of all those around you. Life feels better for a bit until you are completed run down and drained from always giving and allowing others to always take from you? Sending you into victim mentality where you avoid the conflict and wallow in the hurt.
Or are you a type C where you feel that life will give you what it has to give, simply moving along, accepting that what you are doing is taking you where you need to go. Over time, you begin feeling increased levels of frustration, maybe undervalued at work as they misunderstand your loyalty and you are misunderstanding their need to meet moving targeted objectives. Leaving you stuck at work and in life. You believe the company will give you what you need in terms of learning and growing. If not, then that’s on them. Or is it?
What if…
you had a life road map to help you know your navigational direction of where you are going AND knew how best to align your decision making? Equipped to foster growth in all sectors of your life, personal and professional?
The mastered juggler, allowing more satisfaction and happiness, limiting stress, empowering the push forward to achieve the varied milestones so that you can be present and satisfied knowing that the life you’re living helps you attract the people, places and things you aspire.
You grow by being inspired to push through your comfort zone, filled with the belief that this life’s aspirations are within your reach. Planned, prepped and prepared to face whatever obstacles AND new opportunities that come your way. When you grow, your work and family life blossoms.
What we do.
At Journey to Success we support the growth and improvement of both your external focus and your internal emotional well being.
Why both, external and internal factors?
One cannot be successful without the other. You can lay out the best plans, create lists and seek to go after what you start only to have your mind dismantle the advances. “Not the right time, not the right place, not the right content, not the right people.” All kinds of fears show up, fear of failure, fear of embarrassment, fear of success. We live with many internal fears. In fact, our Judge and his accomplices take over many times in a single day. Sabotaging our actions and our dreams.
What you gain.
We will help you widen your lens perspective by zooming out to see what’s possible. What are your greatest of aspirations? We will zoom in to see what’s needed to set you on track to go after these aspirations. We will zoom in further to understand the constraints you may be under, how you may have or have not tackled these constraints in the past. We will zoom in even further, to ensure that you understand how your choices are serving you today and what ways you could expand your decision making potential. Ultimately we will strategize a navigational pathway for your life– not only work or only relationships- so that can pave the way for a best lived life. When we can live our best life, we feel motivated, challenged, and inspired at a level to play full out rather than simply show up or sit on the sidelines. Looking back we can feel a great sense of pleasure for the personal decisions we made along the way.
This foundational approach rewards the client’s day to day action step as the client has become clear as to what and why they want what they want. The journey is one of exploration and discovery, learning how to overcome challenges and limiting beliefs, keeping one stretching and advancing each day, each week, each month and each year.

The Results: Your Weather Forecast Score
Total your numbers.
If you scored low, below 60 points, your conditions are poor, gloomy, gray to dark skies, maybe stormy
Going through the Motions
Life is feeling pretty blah, maybe even icky. Helpless, frustrated and anger prevail day to day or week to week. Often leading you to avoid people, places and things. Only doing what’s absolutely necessary.
If you scored between 61 and 96, your conditions are mediocre, cloudy with some sunny days mixed in with occassional rain
Status Quo
You feel ok with how life is going. While it’s going, it may feel like you are far away from where you want to be in life. You may rationalize why you are still doing what you’re doing and fear moving outside your comfort zone. Disruptions could be viewed as getting worse verses getting better. You feel content yet not fully satisfied.
If you scored between 97 and 120, your conditions are near to perfect, clear and sunny skies
A Skip in Your Step Forward
Life is feeling pretty darn good. You feel you are in the drivers seat, navigating what you want and achieving satisfaction with the positive trajectory in your work and your personal relationships. You feel energized, inspired and embrace disruptions as opportunities to learn more, gain new skills and grow. The roller coaster of day-to-day life is an adventure of fun, inspiration and gratitude.
