Teneshia Jackson Warner <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/7-ways-to-make-the-most-of-your-blank-moments/">was in a rut</a> in her career and her life. One day, a professor teaching a class in her master's program gave students an assignment: “Examine every major decision you’ve made up until now and the driving forces that led you to make those decisions.”&nbsp;



After some thought, Jackson Warner realized the driving force behind all the significant decisions she’d made in her life was earning potential. Growing up in a house where money was a sticking point, she knew her motivations made sense, but <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/why-success-doesnt-mean-youre-living-a-fulfilled-life/">she wanted to thrive</a>, not just survive. From that point forward, she resolved to design her life <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/5-steps-to-turn-your-passion-into-your-profession/">so that passion and purpose</a> lead the way.



The results of that redesign have been astounding. <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/3-ways-to-discover-your-true-passion/">Once she discovered her passion</a> for marketing, Jackson Warner founded EGAMI Group, an award-winning, purpose-driven multicultural marketing firm serving some of today's most successful companies. Now serving as EGAMI’s CEO, she has authored several books and has helped turn the firm into a thriving multimillion-dollar business.&nbsp;



In this episode of On Your Terms, Jackson Warner emphasizes to host Erin King the importance of <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-and-why-to-reconnect-with-your-inner-dreamer/">permitting yourself to dream</a>, saying, “You must give yourself space, time and permission to dream freely and imagine. You have to make that become a muscle.”

Feeling Powerful from the Streets to the Boardrooms with Jennifer Cassetta

Lifestyle

Lifestyle Archives

Elevate your lifestyle for success and happiness

Jennifer Cassetta is a motivational speaker, a health and empowerment coach and a third-degree black belt.&nbsp;&nbsp;



When Cassetta was in her first year of training in the martial art of Hapkido, she was near the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001. She believes that her martial arts training empowered her and likely healed her from PTSD. Aiming to inspirate that same strength in others, she developed her own seven belts, or levels, for becoming an ultimate badass.&nbsp;



This week, she walks On Your Terms host Erin King through the seven belts of her dojo: orange belt <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/changing-the-narrative-how-to-silence-your-inner-critic-in-the-new-year/">blocks any negativity</a> coming your way, green belt is <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/finding-your-voice-advocating-and-negotiating-for-yourself-as-a-woman-in-the-workplace/">finding your voice</a> and <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/setting-healthy-boundaries-3-simple-steps-to-establishing-boundaries-that-stick/">setting boundaries</a> and black belt involves <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/everything-you-need-to-know-to-become-a-great-leader/">becoming a leader</a> and taking a stand.&nbsp;



Cassetta also talks about survivor's guilt, finding your origin story, <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/mel-robbins-how-your-instincts-can-help-you-achieve-your-goals/">listening to your intuition</a>, practicing situational awareness and being intentional with <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/your-words-are-powerful-8-positive-speaking-habits-to-build-yourself-up/">inner and outer dialogue</a>.



"You don't have to come out as a warrior in any way and knock people down. It's not about that,” Cassetta insists. “It's really about going within and taking care of yourself so you can be a better person in the world and really be a better human.”



Jennifer Cassetta’s new book is called <a href="https://amzn.to/3T2DOFA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Art of Badassery: Unleash Your Mojo with Wisdom of the Dojo</a>.

How to Fly Forward with Dr. Neeta Bhushan

Everyone goes through moments where they reflect on past experiences and think, ‘Well, that didn’t go as planned.” Dr. Neeta Bhushan thinks these moments can be magical and life changing. She’s a former cosmetic dentist turned bestselling author, international speaker and leadership coach.&nbsp;



This week, she talks with On Your Terms host Erin King about changing course, <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/the-importance-of-self-forgiveness/">forgiving ourselves</a> and <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/what-a-christmas-funeral-taught-me-about-grief-and-good-memories/">dealing with grief</a> and trauma. At 19, Bhushan became an orphan after both her parents died of cancer, and was left responsible for caring for her younger brother. She had previously lost her other brother when he was 12 years old. “I chose to <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-prevent-burnout/">keep going and overworking</a>, overachieving and overdoing, because I wanted that validation,” she says.



It took her another decade to hit rock bottom. On New Year’s Eve in 2011, she left a toxic and abusive marriage. Sobbing in her dental office, she began to process all of the grief, pain and loss she had experienced. Afterward, she began a journey of unapologetic, <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/why-self-love-is-important-and-how-to-practice-it/">unwavering self-love</a>, and had to learn how to pick up the pieces and move forward.&nbsp;



Bhushan provides tools and strategies for <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/bad-times-can-make-you-bitter-or-better/">working through difficult times</a>. She also speaks of giving reverence to what’s happened, opening yourself up to small amounts of good stress and taking a moment to hold and give yourself an embrace.

Luxury is about experiences, not expenses, says Neen James. She was born and raised in the tiniest town in Australia by her single mother in a caravan park. Though they didn’t have much, her mom was great at creating beauty and luxury in their home, decorating and picking flowers.&nbsp;



Today, James talks with On Your Terms host Erin King about how luxury is a mindset. She discusses ways to bring luxury into all your life experiences, both at home and work, through simple things like granting yourself <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/saying-no-to-more-why-giving-your-brain-space-to-wander-improves-your-productivity/">the gift of time</a>, <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-long-should-you-meditate/">meditating a little longer</a>, or upgrading the beauty products in your shower.&nbsp;



"Luxury is not necessarily expensive,” James explains. “I think luxury is all about experiences, not things. And I believe luxury is <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/just-surviving-and-really-living/">something we all deserve</a> every day."&nbsp;



Luxury is about elevating something and making it a bit more special. But James emphasizes that luxury should also be shared with others, <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/all-you-have-is-this-moment-how-will-you-choose-to-spend-it/">creating memories through experiences</a>.&nbsp;



During her study of the luxury mindset, James has developed four luxury archetypes: the “Reluctant and the Removed,” the “Pro Prioritizer,” the “Confident and Content” and the “Luxury Lover.”



The “Reluctant and the Removed” don’t prioritize luxury and won’t necessarily post a lot on social media showing off their lives. The second type is the “Pro Prioritizer,” who dresses for success. They invest in clothes, “believe in reliability and quality from brands” and <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/make-these-5-commitments-to-become-a-great-mentor/">enjoy mentoring others</a>.&nbsp;



The third archetype is the “Confident and Content”—these people don’t necessarily need luxury, but they can enjoy it. They are “cool, calm and collected,” and want to enjoy all that’s around. And fourth is the “Luxury Lover,” the kind of person “who looks for luxury in their everyday.” They love to share luxury with others and are great brand advocates.&nbsp;



Neen James is a motivational speaker, sales and leadership coach, and author of nine books.

Living a Healthy Self-Employed Life with Jeffrey Shaw

“Existing as an entrepreneur in an unhealthy ecosystem doesn't have to be our reality,” says Jeffrey Shaw in today’s episode of On Your Terms with Erin King. He says that to create a healthy ecosystem you need three factors: personal development, business strategies and daily habits.&nbsp;



Shaw thinks the term ‘marketing funnel’ sounds conniving, so instead he created the term ‘hug marketing.’ It should be the ultimate goal of business owners to have <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/client-retention-strategies/">customers that are so loyal</a> they return over and over again.&nbsp;



As one of the most preeminent portrait photographers in the United States, he learned how to set himself up for success while being self-employed. Instead of <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/what-i-learned-from-keeping-a-gratitude-journal/">a gratitude journal</a>, he uses a journal to document what’s going right. He chats with King about <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/finding-a-niche/">finding ideal clients</a>, learning about the emotional journey of customers and knowing the power of motivation and momentum. He also stresses the importance of protecting <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-are-you-helping-others-with-joe-polish/">our capacity to serve others</a> while <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/20-simple-and-real-ideas-to-add-to-your-self-care-routine/">taking care of ourselves</a>.&nbsp;



“Your level of success rarely exceeds your level of personal development,” he says. “Anytime I've ever wanted to grow my business, I <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/why-focusing-on-your-personal-growth-now-is-more-important-than-ever/">grew myself first</a>.”&nbsp;

Ann Hiatt was only 20 years old when she thought she had killed Jeff Bezos. It was her first job after graduating and she was working with him directly during the foundational years of Amazon. She hired a helicopter, which had later crashed with Bezos inside, leading Hiatt to think he was dead for five hours.&nbsp;



Hiatt describes working for Bezos and Google’s Eric Schmidt as relentless. Growing up in Seattle during the original dot-com boom, she moved to Silicon Valley to work with the superheroes of tech. She <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/6-business-books-you-need-to-read-to-level-up/">had to level up</a> proactively and learn to develop the attitude of <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/3-techniques-to-never-stop-learning/">learn-it-all</a> versus know-it-all.&nbsp;



This week, Hiatt talks with On Your Terms host Erin King about career empowerment, her history in corporate environments and her <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/3-steps-to-go-from-idea-to-entrepreneur/">new work as an entrepreneur</a>.

Getting Vulnerable Online with Brian Fanzo

Digital futurist virtual keynote speaker Brian Fanzo goes all in when he believes in something. He did a daily podcast for 365 days, bought an NFT every day and launched his own creator coin. But he also struggles with ADHD, which he shares in full transparency.



“The more that I'm able <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-lead-with-vulnerability-and-why-its-important/">to be open and vulnerable</a>, the less I even have to <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-manage-perfectionism/">think about perfection</a>,” Fanzo says. “Why do I have to hide anything or mask anything when people already know this is a struggle for me or I am passionate about these things?”



On this week’s episode, he talks with On Your Terms host Erin King about <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/4-ways-you-can-reinvent-yourself-in-the-youeconomy/">reinventing who you are</a> on the other side of the pandemic, and how mental health has <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-improve-your-mental-health/">become a larger focus</a> in the wake of 2020. He’s had to figure out <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/15-lifestyle-hacks-for-finding-happiness/">what brings him joy</a>.



Fanzo insists that if your social media feeds are not giving you positive energy and serving up people and products you enjoy, it’s up to you to change that.

Relationships | SUCCESS | What Achievers Read

Our beliefs can be strongly held, which can make it difficult to <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/look-for-the-hidden-good-and-3-other-ways-to-react-to-problems/">see other ways</a> of looking at situations. Tamsen Webster, keynote speaker and message strategist, needed to have a battle of beliefs to move past a debilitating panic disorder. At the worst, she was finding it difficult to drive and leave the house. But she realized that when two truths fight, only one wins.&nbsp;



In this week’s episode, Webster talks about how we determine the kind of story we live, deciding on our own genres and roles. She discusses how challenging someone’s beliefs is the worst way to achieve long-term change. Rather people need to have validation to discover what is driving their resistance. Instead of conflicting beliefs, Webster encourages finding connecting beliefs. Start looking for another equally strongly held belief to see possibilities.&nbsp;



She also discusses with On Your Terms host Erin King how, <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/13-red-flags-of-toxic-relationships/">in toxic families</a>, the most emotionally healthy person creates the most friction, while family cultures can be characterized as guessers versus askers. As well as seeing stories as being in motion as we keep telling and building on them, and how the story isn’t over until you decide it is.&nbsp;

On Showing Up Just As You Are with Emotional Intelligence Practitioner Tara Renze

Tara Renze’s grandmother left a note for Renze’s one-week-old son that simply said: “Be who you came to be.” That simple but profound message transformed her life and is now changing the lives of other professionals. This week, Renze and On Your Terms host Erin King talk about showing up as your authentic, vulnerable self, including <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/5-everyday-ways-to-practice-positive-self-talk/">battling negative self-talk</a>, admiring rather than comparing yourself to others and recognizing your highest inner saboteurs.



“Be your authentic self” might be common advice, but it’s not easily done. In a world where people—and particularly women—are constantly <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-stop-comparing-yourself-to-others/">comparing themselves to others</a> and trying to fit into a socially acceptable mold, it can be difficult to be yourself when there’s a constant chance that you’ll be judged for it. Renze, however, would argue that instead of trying to be someone everyone will like, you should be you, with slight shifts in what you say or do based on your audience. In this episode, Renze discusses the trials that came with writing her book, being authentic while still accommodating your audience and learning from your mistakes.&nbsp;

From Pro Football to Acting and Filmmaking with 'Ted Lasso' Star Cristo Fernandez

For actor and filmmaker Cristo Fernandez, football is life. He started playing professionally at 15, but when injuries put him off course, he made a big move from his hometown in Mexico to London in order to study, make films and act. Now, he talks with On Your Terms host Erin King about <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/5-ways-to-create-your-own-opportunities-at-work/">creating his own opportunities</a>, landing his big part on Ted Lasso and how the role was developed by and for him, and creating his own production company with his sister.&nbsp;



Success has <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/success-on-your-own-terms/">a different definition for everyone</a>, but in every case, it relies on your ability to work hard and <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/change-is-growth-3-tips-for-embracing-new-opportunities/">take hold of opportunities</a> when they come. There may not be one right path to achieving success, but Fernandez believes that if you work hard <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/patience-is-a-superpower/">and remain patient</a>, things will eventually work out. In this episode, Fernandez discusses his transition from sports to film, the series of events that led to him getting the role of Dani Rojas in Ted Lasso, and the importance of knowing that there is no wrong path to success—only opportunities that will help you on the way to <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/3-steps-to-manifest-your-goals-in-life-yes-it-really-does-work/">achieving your goal</a>.&nbsp;

Building Your Fear Muscle with Judi Holler

“What’s worse than the temporary pain of discomfort is the avoidable pain of regret,” says Judi Holler, who has brought her Second City improv training and humor to her work as a keynote speaker, bestselling author, podcaster and entrepreneur. She’s on a mission to increase her tolerance for pain by conducting daily fear experiments and trying to <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/7-brave-steps-to-become-fearless/">be a bit braver</a> and more authentic today than she was yesterday. Now, instead of asking herself what could go wrong in each new situation, she asks, “What could go right?”



Fear isn’t something we can get rid of—and we shouldn’t want to. In many cases, fear is there to keep us safe. But when fear is blocking us from doing what we need to do, <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-get-comfortable-being-uncomfortable/">acting despite that fear</a> is what builds up tolerance for that discomfort. In this episode, Holler talks with On Your Terms host Erin King about <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-manage-perfectionism/">the problem with perfectionism</a>, what improv taught her about bravery and authenticity, and how creating <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/inclusive-leadership-starts-with-creating-a-culture-of-psychological-safety/">an environment of psychological safety</a> increases our ability to <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/3-key-behaviors-for-bringing-your-whole-self-to-work/">truly be ourselves</a>.

It might seem counterintuitive, but it’s important to embrace procrastination as part of your writing process.&nbsp;



Ann Handley is a digital marketing pioneer, writer and speaker focused on inspiring businesses worldwide to elevate their marketing. This week, she chats with On Your Terms host Erin King about embracing the struggles of writing and marketing while staying true <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-stay-true-to-your-personal-brand/">to your personal brand</a>.



<a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/done-is-better-than-perfect-and-other-lessons-im-learning-about-procrastination/">Many of us wait</a> to start writing until conditions are perfect, but thinking that way often prevents us from writing at all. As Handley argues, not only will conditions never be perfect, whatever you write will always have flaws you regret later—and that’s OK. To get our work <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-write-a-book-advice-for-new-writers/">into the world</a>, we have to be willing to move on and accept that getting things done is better than <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-manage-perfectionism/">getting them done to perfection</a>. Handley continues on to discuss pathological empathy, why you should find a writing partner and the importance of finding the voice <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-build-a-personal-brand-that-breaks-through-the-digital-noise/">of your personal brand</a> before the visuals.&nbsp;

Why is it such a big deal for a woman <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/jillian-michaels-self-care-guide-to-aging-gracefully/">to look her age</a>? Speaker and coach Andrea Owen has let her hair go gray, but while she’s done being obsessed with her looks, she’s not yet feeling empowered by aging. This week, she talks with On Your Terms host Erin King about grieving youth while still navigating vanity and beauty standards. She also discusses how beauty continues to be currency in our society, the correlation between appearance and accolades, and <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/5-attitudes-for-aging-gracefully/">how to embrace aging</a>.



Owen may have made the decision to stop dyeing her hair, but that doesn’t mean it was easy, particularly because it hasn’t been its natural color since she was 17. Although she loves salt-and-pepper hair on other women, she’s not always entirely sure that she loves it on herself. Now, she talks with King about why hair especially can have an impact on confidence, how beauty is of greater importance when you’re in a public-facing line of work, and <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/the-psychology-of-color-how-what-you-wear-can-affect-your-work-performance/">our biases toward appearances</a> when considering things like professionalism or <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/what-not-to-wear-to-an-interview/">who to hire</a>.

Bringing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion into the Workplace with Dr. Tina Opie

It's important to be an ally to marginalized groups, but it's even better to be a co-conspirator. This week, researcher, consultant and author Tina Opie, Ph.D., joins On Your Terms host Erin King to talk about the real meaning of diversity, equity and inclusion and how they each play a role in the workplace. She also discusses why you should surface your assumptions about diversity and <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/5-ideas-for-fostering-an-inclusive-workplace-from-change-catalysts-melinda-epler/">restructure your organization</a> in a way that makes your full <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/5-key-insights-on-treating-employees-with-love-from-leadership-experts-three-and-jackie-carpenter/">support for each and every</a> employee evident.



Within companies, diversity without equity and inclusion can feel rather performative—fulfilling a social expectation rather than actually wanting to, or knowing why you should want to, do better. In order to create <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/embracing-diversity-increasing-inclusion-in-the-workplace/">actual change within your company</a> you have to be willing to have difficult conversations with others—and with yourself—about your motivations. Opie discusses the three steps to creating real change, the importance of developing trust in order to facilitate true conversation and the necessity of <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-speak-well-and-listen-better/">listening more than you talk</a> when you’re in a position of power.

Achieve financial success and freedom

“Forty two percent of small businesses are founded by women, but women are only accessing around 6% of lending capital,” says Sophia Bush, actor and entrepreneur. As angel investors, she and Nia Batts, previously one of the youngest executives at Viacom, are looking to change that.



<a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/sophia-bush-and-nia-batts/">The cover stars</a> of the November/December 2022 issue of SUCCESS magazine are investing in women, especially those with less privilege and access. They are now advisers for<a href="https://www.firstwomens.bank/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> First Women’s Bank</a>—the first women-founded, owned and run bank in the U.S. Bush and Batts talk with On Your Terms host Erin King about <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/overcome-being-underestimated/">being underestimated</a>, changing who has the power and resources, becoming more capital efficient, and understanding how to access loans and funding as a small business owner.



Money has played a large role in both Batts’ and Bush’s lives, and both are well aware of the power—and more importantly, options—that money provides. Now, armed with experience, a <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/the-complete-guide-to-money-how-to-create-wealth/">deep understanding of money</a> and a desire to make a difference, the pair are working toward making room at the table for a more diverse array of minds.

Are You Stressed or Are You Experiencing Burnout? with Paula Davis

If there’s one thing you want to avoid in your work, it’s burnout. Paula Davis, author and founder of the <a href="https://stressandresilience.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stress &amp; Resilience Institute</a>, joins On Your Terms host Erin King to share the differences between stress and burnout, how to identify when you're <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/3-simple-self-care-questions-to-address-burnout-before-you-well-burn-out/">heading toward burnout</a> and <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-prevent-burnout/">how to manage it</a> instead of falling victim.



When we experience burnout, we have a tendency to blame ourselves. There must have been something we missed, something we could have done, something we did to cause it. And to some extent, there is something we could have done—sought help sooner. At its foundation, burnout is not a personal issue, but one <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/combat-workplace-burnout-by-setting-better-boundaries/">related to workplace systems</a> or culture. Davis and King discuss the main drivers of burnout; take a closer look at procrastination, recognition and flexibility; and share their own burnout stories.

Content Creation & Engagement: Tips from Amy Porterfield

https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/16-Paula-Davis-s.com_.jpg

In this video segment from SUCCESS magazine’s <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/sophia-bush-and-nia-batts-are-used-to-being-underestimated/">November/December cover interview</a> with Nia Batts and Sophia Bush, the advisers, activists and entrepreneurs discuss what their partnership and experiences have taught them, the importance of creating access for a diverse range of perspectives and their <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/success-on-your-own-terms/">personal definitions of success</a>.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKqKOTsRwa4
</div></figure>



Batts and Bush have both been in positions of power, and neither of them have squandered it. The pair met at a social impact conference, and the desire to <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/embrace-what-makes-you-different/">make a difference</a> that jump started their friendship has remained their driving goal.&nbsp;



But success and a noble cause do not deflect difficulty—and the pair have faced plenty of it. During the pandemic, the lockdowns forced them to close their business, Detroit Blows. It was their skill, quick decisions and focus on the safety of their employees that led to a better ending than what could have happened had they attempted to stick it out.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/sophiabush_niabatts_3-682x1024.jpg" alt="Sophia Bush &amp; Nia Batts" class="wp-image-66667"/></figure>



But they continued to strive toward <a href="https://www.lifehack.org/887333/make-a-difference" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">making a difference</a>. The pivot to working with <a href="https://www.firstwomens.bank/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">First Women’s Bank</a> allowed them to focus on creating access for underrepresented entrepreneurs. "There is a natural occurrence that can happen where people trust sameness,” says Bush. Most of the investors distributing capital are white men—and thus, most of the entrepreneurs who receive funding are white men as well. Supporting women in developing the same levels of confidence in themselves through <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-3-female-black-angels-are-working-to-close-the-racial-funding-gap/">providing them with investments</a> allows for a diversity of ideas, both in businesses and around the proverbial table.&nbsp;



It is this availability of options, this freedom of choice to do something you want, that is success for Batts—options not only for herself, but for others. For Bush, success is feeling positive about her choices. While money is certainly power, <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/rohn-9-things-more-important-than-money/">there is more to success</a> than just being financially secure—if you don’t have goals, if you are not <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-use-your-influence-to-help-others/">lifting others up</a>, if there is no benefit to anyone but yourself, then it is not truly success.

Nia Batts and Sophia Bush discuss what their partnership and experiences have taught them, the importance of creating access for a diverse range of perspectives and their personal definitions of success.

Adams tells On Your Terms host Erin King about the top response he received, as well as his advice for entrepreneurs who are <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-use-video-marketing-on-linkedin-to-help-land-your-next-clients/">interested in video marketing</a>.



Although most people’s suggestions about <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/a-veteran-of-the-digital-nomad-community-offers-her-best-tips-for-the-location-independent-lifestyle/">pulling up their roots</a> and <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/why-traveling-the-world-is-the-best-investment-in-yourself/">traveling the world</a> will never truly come to fruition, Adams’ suggestion is one of the few that did. A conversation with his then-girlfriend in 2017, some planning and a 30-day test trip later, and they were off to their first city—Scottsdale, Arizona—on a filmed trip that concluded with their wedding. Now, Adams and King discuss what he learned about success as contribution, the story of selling his family business and how the first step to video marketing is just taking the plunge <a href="https://successcom.wpenginepowered.com/how-to-manage-perfectionism/">instead of focusing on perfection</a>.
