Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the Four Pillars of Achievement: Reaching Success Without Burnout, a course from Scribd Coach. My name is Davina Ware.

Being successful in today’s ever-changing world can be elusive and exhausting. Professionals tend to put their career pursuits in overdrive to arrive at this unknown destination of success. As a result, their personal lives suffer, and they experience burnout as they continue running on the hamster wheel of unfulfillment.

That’s why I developed this course. I want to share the four foundational pillars you should use to achieve consistent success in your endeavors without burning out. I will show you how to implement these pillars in your everyday life to succeed in your personalized self-achievement journey.

To give you some information about my background, I’m a career coach and creator of the 90 Day Career Fix Coaching program. As a professional over the past thirteen years, I’ve reached every career goal I’ve set for myself. I’ve also helped clients do the same by encouraging them to use their gifts and talents every day.

I’ve found that when your career and purpose align, you’re happier and much more productive. When we’re doing work that utilizes what we’re naturally good at, we enjoy it, and success is easier to attain. Finding the right profession can be complex, with personal and unknown career obstacles getting in the way.

Often, we don’t know which way to go when an issue arises that challenges our goal. Following the four pillars will keep you on track and give you direction to confidently take that next step.

So, in this workshop, we’ll cover:

Why you must define success for yourself before taking steps to achieve it.

What you need to currently change in your life and routine to create space and opportunity for you to reach your next milestone.

How to establish your first milestone on your success journey.

And how to anticipate the obstacles on your path, so you aren’t caught off-guard.

Why does any of this matter? Well, too many of us are borrowing other people’s examples of success or society’s template of what success looks like and then wonder why we aren’t getting the same results. If you don’t have clarity on what success means for you, then you’ll continue a cycle of frustration, stagnation, and unrealized desires that lead to an unfulfilled life.

Without the right mindset for success, we waste time spinning our wheels trying to figure out why what we’re doing isn’t working. With only twenty-four hours in a day, who has the extra time or energy to expend on that? I know I don’t, and I’m sure you’d rather spend your time hitting the milestones that will get you to that feeling of fulfillment.

To get there, you have to clarify what success means to you personally. Otherwise, you won’t just be in a season of frustration but stuck in a cycle of frustration, stagnation, and hunger for success. Ultimately, being successful is a matter of addressing mental blocks and thought distortions.
