Doreen Rainey was also the hostess of the conference. Before Steve Harvey partnered with Strayer University on this, she actually was the lead organizer of a conference called Radical Success that was aimed at empowering women. Many of her past conference elements remained in this year’s version but with a broader perspective — including both men and women speakers.
She opened by explaining a few success principles:
Lesson 1: Act. Think. Be. -Steve Harvey
- Get in the process of going where you want to go by acting like you’re already there.
- What do people act like who are financially free? Who are healthy?
- You can be selfless while engaging in self care.
- We have a habit of keeping our word to other people even at a detriment to ourselves.
Lesson 2: Being committed to your goals is only half the battle. Your responsibility is to make sure you stay fully committed.
- When you set a goal that seems impossible. You will do more than you ever thought possible.
- When setting goals, your stomach should flip. You should feel like you’re going to throw up.
- Go big but be very specific.
Lesson 3: Big goals are hard. And big goals will cost you something. What price are you willing to pay?
- Where you are right now is the direct result of the choices you have made. You cannot produce big dreams from a victim mentality. You produce big dreams from a position of power.
Lesson 4: You can’t do it alone
Enough said.
Lesson 5: It’s always worth it!
- You have to remind yourself of the rewards otherwise you get caught up in your daily circumstances. The finish line gives you energy!
Lesson 6: Don’t forget the first five lessons.
- You can accomplish a goal and get real lazy. Is there a goal you need to recommit to?
