Unlock your Success: Boost Your Chance to Succeed by 15X!
Imagine if you could skyrocket your chances of success by 15 times - what would that mean for your career and personal life? How incredibly powerful would it feel to have an edge that sets you apart from the crowd?
As high achievers, we’re always searching for ways to supercharge your path to success. And here's a secret: mastering four key behaviors is all it takes to multiply your odds of success. But don't just take my word for it - let me introduce you to "The CEO Next Door," a groundbreaking book featuring research by Elena L. Botelho and Kim R. Powell.
If we haven't met, hi, my name is Felecia! I'm a Certified High-Performance Success Coach and Business & Life Strategist! I love to help overwhelmed, stressed-out ambitious, high-achieving women maximize their time, energy, productivity, and influence so they can be present and intentional with the vital aspects of their life. I do this through proven science-backed and outcome-based high-performance strategies, routines, habits, and mindset shifts that are simple, sustainable, and fun.
Think Ivy League schools are the only way to get to the top? Think again. Many highly successful CEOs didn't aspire to corner offices until later in their careers, and only a small percentage graduated from elite colleges. And guess what? 45 percent of CEO candidates experienced significant setbacks earlier in their professional journeys.
But here's the exhilarating part: "The CEO Next Door" reveals the core attributes and counterintuitive choices that set apart the most accomplished CEOs - lessons we can apply to elevate our careers. So what are you waiting for? Let's uncover the four essential behaviors that can launch you to great success!
Here are the four essential behaviors identified in "The CEO Next Door" that are proven to set successful CEOs apart:
1. Decisiveness:
“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.”
The hallmarks of successful leaders are promptness and confidence in decision-making. They gather crucial information, assess options judiciously, and act decisively. Mastering this behavior is crucial to becoming a proactive problem-solver and positioning yourself for remarkable achievements.
You have the potential to cultivate these essential traits, and with some guidance, you can unlock your true potential as a dynamic and confident leader!
2. Relentless Reliability:
“Reliability is a mindset that takes you to new heights. Stay true to your commitments, be the anchor others can count on, and never give up until you reach your goals.”
Reliability is the foundation of achievement; it's delivering what you promise without exception. Embodying radical accountability and personal consistency sets you apart from the crowd, unlocking opportunities for greatness.
By consistently meeting deadlines, honoring commitments, and being unwaveringly reliable, you establish a strong reputation for excellence. Believe in yourself and your unwavering commitment to reliability, and watch as success chases you.
3. Bold Adaptability:
“Adaptability is being able to adjust to any situation at any given time.”
In a fast-paced world, adaptability is the undisputed key to success. Exceptional leaders embrace change with boldness and gracefully adapt to new circumstances. They recognize the need for innovation and agility and position themselves ahead of the curve.
Embrace bold adaptability and ignite your potential to thrive in any environment with grace and confidence!
4. Fearless Stakeholder Engagement:
“Responsibility equals accountability equals ownership. And a sense of ownership is the most powerful weapon a team or organization can have.”
Engaging with stakeholders – colleagues, clients, and collaborators – is vital for achieving greatness. It takes active communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution. You can forge long-lasting relationships, foster collaboration, and achieve remarkable outcomes by fearlessly tackling challenging conversations and conflicts head-on. It won't be easy, but it's essential to your success. So take the first step, and let's make great things happen!
By adopting these behaviors, you can increase your chances of becoming a successful CEO.

Discover four practical exercises to strengthen your personal reliability muscle:
1. Pro Backsolver:
Reach business goals with ease using the Pro Backsolver exercise! Anticipate and overcome obstacles before they hinder your progress. Visualize a specific goal, identify potential roadblocks, and brainstorm preventive measures.
This proactive approach ensures you're prepared to navigate all difficulties and deliver results with reliability. Take charge, and conquer your objectives!
2. Daily Planner or App:
Utilizing a daily planner or productivity app is a game-changer for reliability. We start by setting specific, achievable daily goals and prioritizing tasks accordingly. Breaking down larger goals into manageable steps keeps us on track and provides a sense of progress. Allocating dedicated time slots for each task ensures that we honor our commitments. Regularly reviewing and updating the planner helps us stay organized and adapt to changing circumstances.
3. 80/20 Machine:
The 80/20 Machine exercise helps us focus on high-impact tasks and activities. The Pareto Principle suggests that 20% of our efforts yield 80% of the results. We evaluate our current responsibilities and identify the tasks that contribute the most to our desired outcomes. We then allocate a significant portion of our time and energy to these high-impact activities.
By consistently prioritizing and investing in these tasks, we amplify our reliability and increase our chances of success.
4. Reliability Rating:
The Reliability Rating exercise involves self-assessment and feedback from trusted individuals. We evaluate our past performance in terms of reliability, asking ourselves tough questions: Did we meet deadlines consistently? Did we deliver on our commitments without fail? We rate ourselves on a scale of 1 to 10 based on our reliability. Additionally, seeking feedback from colleagues, friends, or mentors provides valuable external insights.
By actively monitoring our reliability rating and working on areas that require improvement, we cultivate an unwavering commitment to consistency.
Staying on Track and Overcoming Challenges:
Developing relentless reliability is a journey that requires discipline and perseverance.
Here are some strategies to keep yourself on the path to success, conquering obstacles along the way:
Now, it's time to establish your goals for the upcoming 90 days. Whether you want to double down on previous successes, address significant challenges, or embark on new endeavors, identify your top three goals. Identify the primary obstacle that might hinder your progress for each goal and develop a solid plan to overcome it. This exercise ensures you approach your goals with clarity, foresight, and actionable strategies.
1. Set Clear and Realistic Expectations:
“Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.”
By aligning your goals and commitments with your capabilities and resources, you can unlock your full potential. Setting clear and realistic expectations is key to consistently delivering on your promises and achieving success. With focus, determination, and a winning mindset, you can conquer any challenge that comes your way and emerge victorious!
2. Practice Self-Discipline:
“All successes begin with self-discipline. It starts with you.”
Cultivate the habit of staying focused and avoiding distractions. Learn to say no to tasks or activities that deviate from your priorities. Stay committed to your plan and resist the temptation to procrastinate.
3. Build a Support System:
“A good support system is the backbone of success. Encouragement from those who uplift you, guidance from coaches, mentors who inspire you, and unwavering belief from those who love you - these are the pillars that hold you up when you’re pushing past your limits.”
Surround yourself with individuals who value reliability and accountability. Seek mentors or accountability partners who provide guidance, encouragement, and constructive feedback. Engage in communities or groups that foster a culture of reliability.
4. Learn from Setbacks:
“I’ve grown most not from victories but setbacks. If winning is God’s reward, then losing is how he teaches us.”
Mistakes and setbacks are inevitable on the journey to success. Embrace them as opportunities for growth and learning. When faced with a setback, analyze the situation, identify the root cause, and strategize ways to prevent it in the future. Use setbacks as fuel to strengthen your commitment to reliability.
5. Celebrate Small Victories:
“Small victories are more than just milestones on the road to success. They are proof that you are making progress, that you are moving forward, and that you are inching closer towards your goals.”
Recognize and celebrate your achievements along the way. Acknowledge the milestones you reach and use them as motivation to keep pushing forward. Celebrating progress boosts morale and reinforces your commitment to reliability.
