The 7 Key Decisions that Successful Women Make

What distinguishes the most successful women: those who achieve their vision, are rooted in their purpose, conquer their goals that might seem really difficult, and tap into their gifts and the things that are really important to them?
What distinguishes that woman from a similar one who perhaps has the same resources and talent - and yet finds herself falling short of her goals? Welcome to the first episode of Successful Women Think Differently. I'm your host Valorie Burton, and I'm so, so excited that you are here with me.
I'm going to tell you that one thing that distinguishes the most successful women from the rest in today's episode. But first, I'm going to share some of my background and story so that you can get to know me better, and hopefully appreciate and understand where I am coming from.
I'll also be defining success - encouraging you to think about creating your own definition of success (or even adapting the one that I use).
At the end of the episode, I'll be talking about some key decisions that highlight the distinction between the most successful women out there and those that fall a bit short. This is an invitation for you to join me as we begin to explore how Successful Women Think Differently.
"I never regretted taking that leap of faith. When you know there is something that you are meant to do, the fear is always there. But you never regret taking a bet on yourself." ~ Valorie Burton
In This Episode:
- What is so intriguing about how and why successful people think differently?
- Valorie's backstory - life growing up with something to prove

- Disappointments - from divorce to dreams deferred

The principle that was the most thought provoking for me was that successful women are solution focused instead of problem focused. I think that has been a barrier for me. Thank you for the revelation!

[@sounja1]

We are solutions to problems in the world.

[@cassie_inspires]

“How are people’s lives better when they cross paths with me?” Wow what a powerful and thought provoking question! Thank you for sharing this podcast episode. This has been amazingly helpful to me.❤

I am a school bus driver for 10 yrs now. Before that I was a Director of Admission before that in Sales & Marketing. These careers all had their perks but my position as a school bus driver has been so rewarding. I’m not your typical bus drivers. In those few minute on the bus depending on the day & route I engage with my students and find teachable moments. I let my kids know I see them and encourage positive influences. Success is different for everyone. Dream Big and don’t worry about what small minded people think.🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

[@thishayinetshiozwi1938]

Dd you know u can make content in the bus engaging with kids hearing their views on different topics I love such content a lot

[@amanishelters5919]

​@@thishayinetshiozwi1938wow great idea

[@samiradean5274]

SUCCESSFUL WOMEN FOCUS ON SOLUTIONS NOT PROBLEMS. I LOVE THAT PRINCIPAL

[@ncamsilenhlabathi7780]

I like this “things don’t always unfold the way you thought they would, and yet they can still unfold BEAUTIFULLY “! So profound and so encouraging. Thank you

I recently applied for a Communications Professionals’ mentorship program. When I say recently, it’s about 3days ago. And while listening to this podcast (I love inspiring and personal development content so KZbin brought me here), I begin to pray: Lord, about that mentorship programme, please connect me to a successful and inspiring mentor who will truly lift me up. Please, I also want it to be a Christian so that I can be spoken to mentally and spiritually. Amen. And then I hear Valerie say “I started my own PR Company”. I was like “Ow! She’s into Communication.” And then she goes “I prayed about it.” lol. I am like “Lord, if this is a sign that you just listened and answered my prayer, I am so grateful.” I’ll wait for the outcome of the mentorship program but I already feel like this is a good place to be at. Thank you Lord. Thank you Valorie. Let me keep listening. 🥰

I had to pause right before you got into the 7 decisions. Thank you for sharing your story. Your testimony. It brought me to tears. All glory to The Most High King! Our obedience to Him allows us to not only find our purpose, but to also attract His other children WITH that purpose. And it’s always at a time when we need it most. At the perfect stage in our journey. Thank you for your obedience. This is my first video I’m seeing of yours. I know God led me here. Shalom

Hi Valorie, I was introduced to your platform when you were in Dallas. I have read three of your books and now know I have ten more to read. Your content has so much value, it benefits men as well. Thank you for the life you live.

[@aniyahakanini5905]

Thank you, I’m 21 and I’m starting on my journey. I’ve always been resilient and never gave up and by now I thought I’d be working with wildlife traveling the world. Unfortunately that has not happened and I’m now investing in myself. I’m excited, I have been craving change and not being successful is not an option for me. I will be successful and the woman I always see myself being. Though I’m not sure what the road ahead holds for me but I do know that I will not give up during the process.

[@treluvstrees999]

Sounds very exciting to take care of wildlife and travel! Will pray for you that God reveals your path and that much happiness follows you!

[@nerdalert27]

24 and proud of where I am but always reminding myself to not downsize my dreams or lose sight of the long term goal. Gotta keep the movie playing

[@arielmessiah879]

This was unlike any podcast I have listened to so genuine and didn’t song “ podcasty” .And I gained so much.

[@sisi_kaapehi]

These are an amazing 7. 7 is my favourite number and number 7 stands out most to me. I’m currently rethinking what my actual purpose is and exploring what elements of what I do impact on those around me most positively. Thank you so much for this Valorie🎉. I have subscribed - looking forward to more inspirational videos.🙏🏾🌱

[@Herexcelensee]

Wow... what a beautiful experience!!! Thank you for sharing!!! ❤ And that's smile is everything!!

[@MiriamA22]

I was listening to another woman here at work when her podcast ended. So on came yours❤. I stayed because of the excellent quality of production immediately noticeable. I kept listening because of the clarity of your speech and story. I became even more intrigued because of our common faith.✝️The subscribe came from the inclusion of all, with special exception given to my desire to grow in the sphere you’re emphasizing; a valiant business woman of excellence in Christ.

[@treluvstrees999]

I was out for lunch with my mum and sister, when we visited a book store and mum bought us your book as a gift. I have kept that book and it was the first book on my shelf. I loved it and always said if ever i write a book it will be something like that, practical and reflective. Loved it. And happy to find you on YT.

[@DivinevirgoFeminine]

You are an impressive woman! ❤ The way you glow when you talk about your husband Jeff is how I wanna talk about my future husband!
