HI! I’M COACH KEREN, AUTHOR OF GILDED.

I’m here to share 5 Key Lessons to help you reframe success.

But first, I am gonna tell you the truth about success-starting with the obvious: not all that glitters is GOLD.

Which is literally the metaphorical title of my book.

Are you ready?

3 of 22

IN A NUTSHELL,

You should say ‘YES’.

Chances are, no matter who or where you are, you have bought into false premises about success, and these premises ARE LIMITING YOU.

I am here to lay down better premises, and a better way… Because why have GOOD when you can have FABULOUS???

4 of 22

SAY YES. BECAUSE…

Chances are, your life is not really fab. At least, not as fab as it looks on Instagram or LinkedIn.

It’s... kinda GILDED.

Have you heard the story of Brandon Miller?

I’ll tell you the story. And then I will tell you MY story, and then we can talk about YOUR story.

WHAT’S IN THIS FOR ME?

I am here because I want the LIES TO STOP.

LIE #1: Success is super glam and wayyyy better than YOUR life = dog eat dog players. ICK.

LIE #2: Success is relentless hard work, a ”battlefield,” a huge sacrifice = burn out and dropping out. Also, ICK.

Neither premise is true!! I want to answer WHY this occurs and how to break free because I want no more Brandons. No to suffering. Yes to joy.

WHAT’S IN THIS FOR YOU?

NO TO SUFFERING:

The chance to not feel understand WHY you keep chasing the wrong thing.
The chance to stop chasing them.
And if you are externally exhibiting force the chance to NOT spread more toxic fumes

YES TO JOY:

The chance to SELF-ACTUALIZE and be free.
The chance to be a light.

If that doesn’t inspire you to tune in, I can’t help you.

If it does – yay for you.

EXERCISE 1

BEFORE WE BEGIN: TELL THE TRUTH, AND NAME THE DELTA.

Answer: Where are you now, REALLY?

Has ambition/your view of power & success delivered for you? Or not?

If not - Where do you DESERVE to be?

SO. SHALL WE, Amigos?

Here comes a brief and spectacular intro to

5 CRUCIAL lessons (epiphanies!) served up in GILDED for REAL success.

You deserve them.

Take a deep breath in.
Let a deep breath out.

To begin to redefine success, you have to let go of the illusion that you actually KNOW what it takes to be successful by which I mean happy, authentic and free.

If you think that’s wrong, serious question: how’s that working for ya? Are you free, or are you EGG-ZAUSTED?

Here is the deal: if you are NOT where you want to be in ANY department of your life, then it is not because of what you KNOW, it is because of what you DO NOT KNOW and are NOT letting in.

If you do not open your mind and let NEW IDEAS in – nothing will change.

LESSON 1

YOU ARE NOT that OPEN MINDED.

LESSON 2

You have NOT been playing to win.

Technically, you have been “playing not to lose.” Newsflash for the all overachievers: You don’t just think YOU KNOW what the route to superstardom is, but you also believe you are playing HARD. Alas, you are not.

If you are overwhelmed with your output and underwhelmed by your results your real quarrel is not with THE WORLD, it’s with your brain/loss aversion.

Let me explain, by referencing the greatest movie ever.

EXERCISE 2

NOW, NAME A REAL GOAL.

Answer: What would I aim for, if I KNEW I could not fail?

12 of 22

LESSON 3

If you do not have a why YOU WILL NEVER GO HIGH.

The biggest obstacle to success is not knowledge gaps (blindspots) or even the loss aversion we just discussed. It’s that the targets are way off.

See… Real success isn't about $ or fame.

(I know you think you know that, but if you did, you would not give a tiny rat’s a$$ about LinkedIn).

The real target in life is not external gain. It is internal expansion.

EXERCISE 3

WRITE DOWN (TO TETHER TO THAT BIG GOAL):

What’s your big why?

14 of 22

LESSON 4

You need to STOP LYING

George Costanza: Liar = Hilarious Us: Liars = Not so hilarious

The lesson? We all lie/uphold our lies. We must NOT. If you want to be truly successful (happy, authentic and free!!), YOU CANNOT LIE.

True freedom means accepting ourselves just as we are without the need to embellish, hide, or pretend. When you embrace who you are, without apology or artifice, you no longer need to create false versions of yourself to fit into someone else’s definition of success. YOU FIT YOURS.

ITS NOT A LIE IF YOU BELIEVE IT

SECRET EXERCISE: (SHHHHH... JUST FOR YOU)

JOURNAL PROMPT:

What are you lying about?

LESSON 5

Your BOUNDARIES could use an UPGRADE

Many people think embodying success means force, but what it really means is boundaries. Whenever you see someone who is CHILL they have good boundaries, and chill is success.

The only way to chill is boundaries - no lying (perfectionism). No pretenses (ambition). No righteousness (relentless pursuit).

No more hustle. You can be happy, authentic and free.

17 of 22

DISCLAIMER: EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

BOUNDARIES require that you release yourself from the expectations of others, or from the need to prove your worth to them.

The opposite patterns? You developed them to appease, or to oppose.

For you to rise out of this you will have to release them.

THEM: The people you are trying to appease, the people you trying to prove wrong.

You will have to break through past the ceiling of THEIR expectations and conditioning.

Are you ready to do this?

EXERCISE 4

WRITE DOWN:

Who/what am I angry with & how can I forgive them? (So I can really be myself?)

19 of 22

AHHH. That should feel REALLY good!

20 of 22

IN SUM: YOU GOT THIS

Your mind is not so open. Open it.
You have been playing “not to lose.” Play to Win.
If you do not have a why you will never have a real highs.
Stop lying.
Upgrade your boundaries.

21 of 22

WHY THIS TALK MATTERS.

It’s that Success is NOT supposed to be exhausting or a big sell out. It is supposed to feel good. The whole time! If it does not – there is a glitch.

I only got to discover this in my 40s, but whatever, I got here. You should, too.

This matters because of the BIGGEST REVELATION FROM THE BOOK:
