Elite Insights - The Question High Achievers Rarely Ask: Do I Actually Want the Next Level?
Growth requires pain, and it's okay not to always want it. Ashley Connell reminds us that choosing not to pursue the next level right now can be a responsible decision rather than a failure.
In this episode you will learn:
• The unspoken expectation for high performers to constantly push for more - more clients, more revenue, more scale
• Progress becomes part of our identity as high achievers - we don't just set goals, we beat them year after year
• The tension between ambition and contentment that high achievers face
• The dark side of achievement is never feeling satisfied and missing the joy of what we've already built
• Growth has costs - rebuilding systems, restructuring teams, shifting leader identity, and short-term discomfort
• The importance of getting clear on why goals matter in your current season
• Setting meaningful goals that match your current business reality, not outdated expectations
Check out more about the Strategic Reset Sprint below to reflect, realign and walk away with a focused 90-day plan that matches where you are now, not where you think you're supposed to be.
The Strategic Reset Sprint
If you are ready for clarity and focus heading into the final stretch of the year, the Strategic Reset Sprint was built for you. It is a focused 6-week coaching experience designed to help ambitious leaders and business owners reflect, realign, and
reset.
Through this process, you will move away from scattered activity and constant
reactivity, and instead drive execution with clarity, structure, and a
focused plan you can follow.
What you receive:
- Three private coaching sessions
- Email support and reflection tools
- A one-page execution plan you can actually stick to
The Sprint is for you if:
- You have drifted from your priorities
- You have big ambitions but you are not making the progress you expected
- You are feeling a bit off track after the summer and find yourself reacting more than leading
September is one of the most pivotal months of the year. The choices you make now will determine whether you finish the year scrambling to catch up or executing with clarity and focus. A reset this month gives you the structure and momentum you need to close strong.
The Strategic Reset Sprint is designed to help you do exactly that.
