Whether seeking accountability or a little extra motivation, the power of support, by way of family, friends, mentors, or a community of advisors, should never be underestimated.

Through input from diverse and expert guests from my personal network, the program candidly reveals the celebratory ups and inevitable downs of the entrepreneurship journey.

The 5 Step
Formula to Success

Toolkit

Courage, Curiosity, Consistency, Challenge, and Community, also known as The Five C’s, have acted as guiding values and principles throughout my life. They remain the driving force that maintains my entrepreneurial momentum, while keeping me accountable. 

Courage

The journey to accomplishing your goals will be anything but linear, and that’s where Courage, one of our core superpowers, is necessary. The very root of the word courage in Latin is “cor,” which means heart. This becomes fitting when we acknowledge that courage often aligns with how we speak and act on the things closest to our hearts, even in the most challenging of circumstances.

Throughout my life, I’ve constantly been called to maintain a willingness to take action, in spite of fear. As a result, I’ve honed the understanding that proceeding in the face of adversity is not only brave, but also facilitates the growth and realization of my dreams.  

01.

Curiosity

Where curiosity has always been the spark that ignited my success-driven mentality, it’s also the fuel that continuously fosters the resilience required to find alternative routes to maneuver life’s inevitable roadblocks. 

With an understanding that knowledge is power, curiosity acts as the inner guide that leads me towards the answers to questions that go on to catalyze new ideas. As a leader, my curiosity has also allowed me to respond to ideas and situations with empathy; a characteristic vital in considering and implementing diverse perspectives, while establishing and maintaining relationships. 

02.

Consistency

Something I learned early on was the difference between motivation and consistency. Where motivation can come and go in short bursts, the small and steady disciplined steps of consistency are what set the foundation for growth. 

A long-term commitment to our goals, even when we don’t feel motivated, is what builds momentum. It is this level of dedication and focus that becomes a critical driver in bringing our dreams to fruition. It’s a habit I’ve cultivated in every area of my life, with its positive impacts extending far beyond the realm of career, and into day-to-day, and personal life.

03.

Challenge

We’re all presented with both micro and macro challenges daily, but it’s how we respond to them that dictates our trajectory. In every form, challenges, whether accepting or overcoming them, expose us to new experiences, and are key to helping us realize our often untapped capacity for growth.

Overcoming internal or external conflict demonstrates to ourselves, and others, that we conquered instead of conceded. It further reinforces the leadership mindset to view our trials as opportunities to evolve, and recognize them as prerequisites to achieving our full potential.
