When we started Welborn Media in 2010 we had no idea the amazing journey we would take. A million lessons have been learned.
I started the Defining Success Podcast to study what made people successful. I got the opportunity to interview more than 100 successful people and through that process identified some things that made the most successful people … successful.
Step #1: Set Priorities and Goals
Examine your life and determine what is important to you. I have 5 rocks/pillars to help guide the decisions I make. Mine are: family, helping passionate businesses owners become successful, learning and teaching, being of service, and participating in athletic activities like golf and soccer.
I encourage you to think of the 4 to 6 rocks/pillars that are most important to you and email me back to share them with me.
Step #2: Take Action
People are always well intentioned, but not everyone takes actions on their ideas.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
People come to me with great ideas all the time … I know I’ve had many great ideas, but few people take action on them. To be successful, you must have a good idea … and you must take action.
Step #3: Have an Abundance Mindset
I love interacting with people who are positive and optimistic about the future. One of the things I love most about working with successful business owners is that, for the most part, they are extremely positive people who see the world as abundant.
These people are less concerned about minor trivial worries and more concerned with how they can positively impact the lives of others.
Your personal mindset is the set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation. You may not know how you are going to accomplish your goals, but if you are passionate about them and have the mindset that you are going to accomplish them – your positive energy and willingness to work will have an influence on the people around you.
Many of those people want to (and will) help you on your journey if you give them the opportunity to do so. So don’t be afraid to strike up conversations about your goals and your missions, you never know who will be there to help.

There is No Secret to Success
In the business world there are a million ways to succeed, but things are constantly changing. Be adaptable, stay passionate and keep working hard. The only time success is out of reach is when you give up. Remember your goals and remember: success looks different for everyone.
A common problem many entrepreneurs face is staying focused on what’s important. A week, month, or even several months can go by without taking time for the things that are most important to achieve success.
Will you reply to this email and answer these questions:
- What is one thing you want to accomplish this year?
- What is the biggest thing you want to accomplish within the next 5 years?
Take time to define your motives and adjust them when necessary.
Finding Balance
Determine what is important in your business and in your personal life. Set goals for both and strive to find a healthy balance. I believe the most successful people in the world are those who have a healthy balance between the two where they are able to accomplish a lot at work, but not to the detriment of their family, friends and personal life.
It is ok to have multiple passions. You don’t have to put all of your passion into one thing, and you don’t have to be the best at any one thing. If you can find balance between multiple passions you can lead an extremely fulfilling life.
For many entrepreneurs, the best thing they can do for their business is to take some time to focus on themselves and their personal life balance.
How important is balancing your work and personal life to you?
“Success comes much easier when you’re having fun and operating in your purpose.”
