Summary
Tip #1: Set Firm Boundaries Around Your Time
"Authenticity means you must take the rest. You must take the vacation."
Keren emphasizes that high achievers often fall into the trap of constantly being available, even during vacations, which leads to burnout. Protecting your time by not responding to work outside of set hours is essential for maintaining authenticity and preventing self-betrayal.
Tip #2: Recognize the Addiction to Feeling Needed
"The addiction is to being or feeling needed... to feeling worth through your identity as necessary or successful."
The drive to constantly prove oneself through achievement is often fueled by a deeper need for relevance and validation. Recognizing this addiction is the first step in breaking free from the relentless pursuit of more.
Tip #3: Choose Your Path to Transformation
"There are three options: burn all the ships, trauma, or coaching."
While some may radically overhaul their lives to find meaning, others experience collapse or burnout. Coaching offers a proactive, intentional way to redefine success by asking deeper questions and realigning priorities.
Tip #4: Sell with Empathy and Conviction
"The best way to sell is to understand the pain and genuinely connect to it."
Selling transformational products or services requires deep empathy for the customer’s struggles and true belief in the solution’s effectiveness. Authenticity in sales builds trust and eases the process.
Tip #5: Chill Out When You Believe in Your Mission
"It allowed me to super duper chill out... being confident that the solution meets the pain point."
Confidence born from genuine belief in what you offer reduces stress and pressure, allowing you to engage more authentically with others and foster deeper trust.
Tip #6: Protect Your Energy and Avoid Trading Time for Money
"High achievers don’t have a hard time creating more money; they have a hard time protecting their time."
Success isn’t just about increasing revenue but preserving the time, health, and relationships that money alone can’t replace. Challenging the “time is money” mindset is crucial.
Tip #7: Redefine ROI Beyond Dollar Signs
"Your target should be more meaning, more love, more connection... these are measurable."
True return on investment includes emotional and relational well-being, longevity, and happiness, not just financial gain. Shifting this focus leads to richer, more fulfilling success.
Tip #8: Bust Common Money Myths
"The first myth is time is money... the second myth is I am necessary for the money to flow."
Believing that constant hustle or indispensability drives financial success traps people in finite, stressful mindsets. Real abundance comes from relaxation, systems, and knowing when to step back.
Tip #9: See Money as a Tool, Not a Master
"Money is a wonderful servant and a horrifying master."
Obsessing over money or compromising your values to acquire it leads to emotional and ethical damage. Viewing money as a servant restores boundaries and compassion.
Tip #10: Admit When Things Aren’t Working and Go Inward
"If your dreams do not feel good to you... then it’s time to wake up and admit it."
True change starts with honest self-reflection and the courage to redefine what success means to you personally, rather than blindly chasing external markers.
