Why I flew to Kansas City this weekend
I knew I needed a reset. Here is the one lesson I'm bringing back to the "work grind" with me.
Growth rarely moves in a straight line.
Dear SUCCESS family,
Coming back to the work grind this year, I feel more refreshed and grounded than ever.
This past weekend, I flew to Kansas City to meet with a friend/executive coach because I knew I needed a reset. My heart has been racing a lot lately (a feeling I know all too well), and his guidance to "let go" of the old and "welcome" the new was just what the doctor ordered. All to say, I feel 100% lighter and ready to take on what's to come—without past pressures meddling with my internal peace.
Enter… a BIG sigh of relief.
This reset was a great reminder that our health and happiness are connected, and everything we build—personally and professionally—depends on honoring both.
January is a natural time for reinvention: a time to turn the page, set new goals, and acknowledge the "kinks" and "glips" that come with building big ideas behind the scenes. And at SUCCESS® Enterprises, we've certainly felt them.
Some of the projects our team has been working on include:
- Migrating to our new SUCCESS® website, a major undertaking that requires coordination and troubleshooting
- Developing new tech tools and AI-driven features to elevate the way our community learns and grows
- Strategic planning for upcoming magazine issues, ensuring each delivers real transformation
- Collaborating with trusted industry professionals to create partnerships that benefit everyone
These projects are exciting but also humbling. Technology shifts, timelines move, and systems need refining. But progress is built on patience, problem-solving, and persistence—not perfection.
As professionals with many, many stresses in our lives, it's important to understand that growth rarely moves in a straight line. I've transitioned from journalist to executive and from entrepreneur to leader of an iconic brand. And like many of you, I'm continually juggling the mindset and demands of playing multiple roles at home and in life.
With that being said, my open invitation to you is to:
- Set clearer, more meaningful goals
- Rethink what's possible
- Let go of what holds you back
- And step forward with confidence and intention
Thank you for being part of the SUCCESS® community as we build, innovate, and evolve—kinks, glips, breakthroughs, and anything else that pops up. Together, we're shaping an exciting next chapter.
We also hope you enjoy our newest digital edition featuring the theme of Reinvention.
All the best,
Kerrie Lee Brown
