The True Meaning of Success | Gerhard Gschwandtner
Each of us has a unique vision of the future we hope to create for ourselves. What we wish to aspire to and create in our lives is structured around specific goals and the steps we must take to achieve them. Many of us, especially in leadership roles, see success as the final stop – a place where we can pause to reflect on the years of hard work we put in to get there.
The truth is, success itself is a journey, and we are constantly readjusting our actions and beliefs to accomplish what we set out to do. Adapting to the changes in society is essential on this path to a successful life. Perseverance is the key element for leaders to remain resilient and agile while facing the challenges of the modern age.
Founder and CEO of Selling Power Gerhard Gschwandtner challenges C-Suite leaders to reexamine how they view success and focus their attention on adapting to the “giant avalanche” of technology and accept that our world, and the way in which we conduct business, is changing every day. The sales landscape, especially, has evolved with the advent of online shopping and the acceptance of less face-to-face interaction when purchasing a product or service.
Each action leaders take to better adapt to the wants and behaviors of modern consumers can help them take the right steps to live out their dreams. Success is not a distant place in the future – it is each and every moment we spend bettering ourselves looking forward to the new dreams that lie on the horizon.
