Description
Nobody sits you down and says: "Hey, the definition of success they gave you? It's probably going to make you miserable."
I had to figure that out myself — across three countries, multiple careers, and more than a few moments where I looked successful on paper and felt lost in real life. I grew up in Jamaica, where one failure can follow you like a shadow. Then I worked and built businesses in places where people celebrate risk-taking and see failure completely differently. Same planet, completely different rules. Those contrasts changed how I think about everything.
This course started as a 74-minute talk I gave to university students in Jamaica. I expected polite nods. Instead, students came up to me afterward saying they'd never heard anyone talk about success like that before — honestly, without the inspirational clichés.
So here it is, for you. We're going to look at why wealth and happiness don't move in the same direction after a certain point. Why your parents' path to success probably won't work for you — not because they were wrong, but because the world changed. And why commitment, not credentials, is what actually opens doors.
You'll walk away with a personal success map built around what matters to you — not what someone told you should matter. No fluff, no "rise and grind," no vision boards. Just a real conversation and practical tools you can use today.
No matter what new technologies bring to this world, these practical thoughts on success will keep you agile, adaptable, and successful. The tools and industries will change — the fundamentals we cover here won't.
Comes with the MAP Your Leap™ Quickstart Workbook and the MAP Your Leap™ Purpose Running Log template so you can start collecting data on yourself immediately.
