How to Achieve Success Without Sacrificing Our Happiness w/Roberta Ross

Some people have the misconception that success is only for those who are willing to skip family dinners, wake up early, go to bed late, and make big sacrifices in the process. Is our ultimate goal just more money in our bank account? How should we prioritize our happiness?  Why is it important to find our vision of success before we choose our niche, clients, or brand messaging? In this episode, Roberta Ross talks about why the road to success shouldn't make us feel unhappy and overworked.

Everything we think or speak is rooted either in truth or fear. -Roberta Ross

 

3 Things We Learned From This Episode

1. Money is just a tool, not our end goal

All of us use money as a tool to reach happiness. Nobody wants money for the sake of money, but because it opens doors and can give us more freedom. Earning more is just one of the ways we can achieve happiness. There are many aspects in our lives that need to be taken care of, and money is just one of them.

 

2. Wealth without happiness doesn’t equal success

Success isn’t about doing what we hate. It’s about finding joy along the journey. We might make more money if we do certain things, but if we don’t enjoy doing them, why would we continue to do so?

 

3. Not all of us share the same vision of success

Many of us end up dreaming of things we don’t actually want or need in our lives. We have to stop listening to what others want for us and pay attention to what we want. If we don’t get clarity on our goals, we won’t have enough motivation to work towards them either.

 

Before doing anything else, we have to determine what market we want to work in and who our ideal client is. The next step is to identify what our ideal client wants from us. When we know what we want and what our clients want, the final step is to brand ourselves as the solution to our client's problem. We don’t just sell real estate. We’re problem-solvers and guides for both sellers and buyers, and we hold enough knowledge to answer all of their questions.
