Description

In this episode, we wrap up a three part series with guest Lyn Christian. We talk about being successful and how that looks different for everyone. Despite the definition of success being different, the path to becoming successful has a few things in common.

Lyn tells us there are six things people can do to help “tip the scale” in their favor to become successful:

  1. Don’t cling to a goal
  2. Always keep learning
  3. Stay creative
  4. Have a good support network of mentors, coaches, peers, etc.
  5. Take risks
  6. Don’t give up – persist

The definition of success might vary from one person to the next, but ultimately it means being true to ourselves and pursuing our full potential. Being formidable can be thought of as what makes someone a “badass” or what some people refer to as a “rockstar”.

 

Lyn’s company Soul Salt has also offered a generous discount on their Be True course. Normally the course is offered at $199, but listeners of this podcast can get it for only $25*!

Soul Salt really wants to help out veterans, and I think this is a wonderful thing they are doing.

Scott DeLuzio:    00:44    Hey everyone. Today we are wrapping up a three-part series with my guest, Lyn Christian. And if you haven’t done so already, go back and take a listen to the last two episodes, which are episodes number 40 and 41. In those episodes, Lyn gives us a little background about herself and her company, Soul Salt. We talk about knowing your core values and why knowing them is important. And we also talk about reinventing your career, which is something I think that many veterans are familiar with after transitioning from military life to civilian life. So again, if you haven’t listened to those episodes, go back, give those a listen and then come back and listen to this one. So, welcome back to the show.
