Discussing Successful Women Think Differently by Valorie Burton
Major Points from this Episode:
- Perfect conditions for decisions don’t exist. Make a decision and stick with it.
- Are you wait until something is “good enough?” Continue pushing forward without waiting for everything to be perfect.
- Do not apologize when you make a decision that isn’t in line with your goals.
- Options are always present whether you believe it or not.
- Everything is a choice (even paying your bills). There are always consequences to your choices, but everything you “have to do” is actually a choice.
- Acknowledge all your decisions whether you deem them good or bad.
- Most decisions you make are reversible at any given time.
- You are not a victim of your choices or decisions. Own your decisions and choices 100% and move forward.
- Perfectionism and procrastination make you less happy.
- Share your challenges with others and build authentic connections.
- Showing your vulnerability builds community and shows your personal growth.

- Learning from others shortens the learning curve.
- Fulfillment happens through connection – success doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
- Write everything down – goals, experiences, dreams, desires. This helps validate and acknowledge the growth you wish to experience.
- There is power in the pen, and seeing yourself from the outside in. When you re-read what you’ve written, you become a witness to your life.
- If you’ve not started journaling yet, begin to do so but start small and be brief.
