What if you threw away every rule you’ve ever been told and built something entirely based on your own desires?
What would your life and business look like then?
In this episode of Inside the Mind, Allie May and Jen Forster strip down the concept of success and challenge the often unspoken rules that dictate how we should live and run our businesses. Society loves to tell us how we should operate: wake up at 5 AM, hustle every day, post relentlessly on social media, and follow the blueprint that “successful” people like Robin Sharma, Oprah, and Tony Robbins have laid out.
But what if none of that feels good to you? What if success isn’t defined by waking up at sunrise or by someone else’s idea of achievement? What if it’s about tapping into your intuition and following the rules you create?
This episode is your permission slip (not that you need one) to stop second-guessing yourself and start living life on your terms. Tune in and go write your own damn rules.
Because living a life that feels truly beautiful and free is your birthright.
Episode Highlights:
(01:12) - Jen shares her journey of discovering what "doing things my way" truly means, including the struggle to even identify what feels good and authentic.
(05:30) - A candid discussion on the pressure to conform to successful figures like Robin Sharma, and how waking up early doesn’t guarantee success.
(08:00) - The power of trusting your own intuition and making decisions that align with your true self.
(10:15) - Jen reflects on how sudden success led to external expectations and the importance of not losing yourself in others' perceptions.
(12:35) - Allie and Jen emphasise that if something doesn’t feel good, it’s probably not the right path for you—even if it works for someone else.
(16:58) - Allie and Jen explore the link between imposter syndrome and the lack of alignment with one’s true self, encouraging listeners to follow their own path.
Action Items:
Next time you hear a piece of advice, pause and ask yourself, "Does this really feel right for me?" If it doesn’t, give yourself permission to do it differently.
Start listening to that inner voice. Make a small decision this week based solely on what feels good to you.
Take a moment to reflect on what success truly means to you. Write it down and use it as a guide to make decisions moving forward.
Quotes:
“If we trusted ourselves, we'd act on that intuition, make that decision, and choose the thing that scares the shit out of us.”
“If something doesn’t feel good, it’s not your path. Make your own rules.”
Takeaways:
Create Your Own Rules: Success isn’t about following someone else’s playbook. It’s about finding your own rhythm and doing what feels good for you.
Trust Your Intuition: Your inner wisdom is your best guide. Trust it, and you’ll find your path to true success.
Embrace Change: Life is fluid, and so are your desires. Don’t be afraid to change direction when something no longer serves you.
