Episode 79: My #1 Success Strategy

by Heather Moulder | Life & Law Podcast

Discover why building a strategic support network is my #1 success strategy for achieving what you want in BOTH law and life.

Perhaps you don’t think of this as a strategy… but I argue it is. Because to have the right support network, you must be proactive and intentional about it.

And going solo isn’t very helpful.

Even though it seems to be ingrained in us from a young age. This is evidenced perfectly by my then-3-year-old Noah who insisted on putting his sock on by himself. He spent the next 1/2 hour yelling at our cat Boots for playfully pawing at the sock hanging off his left foot before asking for help.

The problem is you want to prove your worth. Which convinces you to go it alone. Without any support, input or knowledge from other people.

The truth is going solo might feel good when you achieve what you want.

But ask yourself how much more quickly could you have gotten there had you opened yourself up for:

Support from peers who have been or are on a similar path?
Help that takes something off your plate?
Accountability from people you trust?
Knowledge from experts who have been there and prevailed?

Behind every success story is a support network of peers, mentors, sponsors, friends, family and others (sometimes including a coach!) that share knowledge, keep you accountable, improve your creativity and support you through what feels hard.

Real-time support and accountability is your bullet train to getting you where you want to be.

But you can’t just rely on anyone. Your network must include the right people and the right mix of people.
