Her programmes are carefully crafted to give optimum outcomes for their participants. In this Interview, Rachel shared some valuable tips on how one can have a fulfilled life. She also underscored how important it is to not lose yourself in the whole process.
It’s often said that in order to live a fulfilled life, we need to achieve just 3 goals. Health, Wealth, and Happiness goals. But for most of us, even achieving a single goal could take a lifetime. Where exactly do people get lost?
I think you have to first ask yourself ‘how badly do I want it’ and whether you are truly in it from the start. You’ve got to have that internal belief system of ‘doing whatever it takes’.
I also think to achieve a goal you’ve got to use the motto ‘one step at a time’ and avoid juggling too many things, as you end up splitting your focus over many tasks, which just makes you lose the focus and actually takes you longer to hit goals.
“Successful people achieve their goals not because of who they are but because of what they do.”
It’s important to break the goal down into smaller chunks, with each chunk having its’own deadline. Successful people achieve their goals not because of who they are but because of what they do. Aristotle nailed it over 2000 years ago when he said ‘’We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
What according to you is financial freedom?
For me, it means being able to make life decisions. It’s about much more than just having money. It’s the freedom to be who you really are and do what you want in life.
One of the biggest hindrances in the path of an individual’s financial or other life goals is Procrastination. What are your views on this? How can one overcome procrastination?
Procrastination is one of the leading causes of failure. Procrastination also means one’s lack of ability in differentiating important tasks with unimportant ones.
We all can put things off but for me, the trick is to do the hard and important tasks first. Manage your environment, make sure it’s conducive to the task, and remove all distractions.
It is also seen that many achieve their financial goals but fail miserably at their health goals. Do you believe that of the three goals, health goals should be given a priority? How can one achieve a healthy lifestyle when people seem to be busy all the time?
Looking after your health is really important, in order to perform at your optimum, you’ve got to look after your mind and your body, for me that’s key to success. The better you look after your mind and body the more you’ll thrive. Putting off looking after your health means you don’t respect your body, it’s not a priority and you are procrastinating. In order to have a healthy lifestyle, one should have proper time management skills. With proper time management, you will never be in a rush and will always find some time for your health.
You have an exclusive club where people get introduced to an improved lifestyle, and they learn how to achieve overall personal development. Tell us more about your club.
I’m the founder of the Rachel Withers Academy, an online community, a community of likeminded women, who support one another to achieve their goals in a safe and supportive environment. A community for women who have the belief to do more, give more, be more, and create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, become more.
For our society to grow in a desired pace and manner, women entrepreneurs need to take the centre stage. What suggestions would you give to young women who want to take the path of entrepreneurship?
Women entrepreneurs have shown time and again what they are capable of. To anyone who wants to take the path of entrepreneurship, I would say that you follow your dreams and live life being true to yourself. Don’t look to others, or their opinions to give you a sense of worth. The world needs us all to shine. And most importantly, be true to yourself.
