Aspire Magazine: Inspiration for a Woman's Soul.(TM) June/July 2020 Aspire Magazine FULL Issue | Page 16

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ”Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you’re proud to live.” ANNE SWEENY Welcome to the June/July 2020 “Redefining Success” issue of Aspire Magazine Hello beautiful soul, How do you define success? For many years, I followed the world’s model of what success is ‘supposed’ to look like. Pushing, striving, chasing, and following the crowd—and I was left feeling empty and unfulfilled. Until one day in late 2009, when I woke up to the realization that unless I’m living authentically and following the whispers of my soul—then it’s not truly success. That began my personal journey to redefining success for myself which continues to this day. I am thrilled to share the wisdom of International Success Expert and Bestselling Author Debra Poneman, founder of Yes to Success™ in this issue. As a transformational leader since the eighties, Debra was at the top of her game—with a national talk show in negotiations--when she walked away from it all to follow the whispers of her heart to be a full-time mother. Many of her students back then include some of today’s leading visionaries: Marci Shimoff, Janet Atwood, and Deepak Chopra to name a few. In following her heart, she was living her message. “{Through my Yes to Success™ program} I taught that even if the impulses of your heart appear to be leading you in the opposite direction of your goals, if you want true happiness and real success you have to trust and follow those impulses.” Connect with me! http://www.Facebook.com/ lindajoyinspires https://twitter.com/lindajoy Recently, I spent time with Debra virtually and was immediately taken in by her passion for life and for her commitment to supporting others in redefining success from the inside out. I am so excited that she is bringing her Yes to Success™ system to individuals around the world— because now, more than ever—the world needs the message. Take a moment to read Debra’s empowering article, 3 Keys to Redefining Success from the Inside Out for powerful insights. May this issue’s content inspire and support you in redefining what success means to you. Grab a cup of tea (or a glass of wine) and enjoy!
