A Better Way to Succeed, Without Losing Yourself
So, you are an overachiever, you have been like that as far back in your life as you can remember. To you, stiving to do the best, break barriers and deliver a better than perfect result time and time again is perfectly normal. You find that as time goes by, your body as well as your mind is trying to tell you to slow down, relax a little, step back and let go, just a little. You will not listen.
The Overachiever’s Reset from Fleur Marks shares her journey as an overachiever who now lives in her words, ‘in the waiting room of death’, as when her body and mind were telling her, screaming at her to slow down, take a break, and she would not listen. Sadly, she was made to listen when she was diagnosed with a rare, debilitating and untreatable condition, followed by a Breast Cancer diagnosis.
Her world shattered into a million tiny pieces; as a mother of two young children with a loving husband who held the fort on the homefront, she was the main breadwinner. She had created the life she had always desired; one filled with success, the house, the car, the lifestyle, which all disappeared as she stepped away from her corporate lifestyle to try and heal her body.
Fifteen years later, she is still dancing with death but has through trial and error, found a way to be able to work in the field she loves, while looking after her body and mind. In this deeply personal story, she reaches out with hard-earned wisdom to all those people who are overachievers in all walks of life. She encourages them to begin to work smart, to understand better the art of delivering the best while caring about and understanding how to maintain a healthy body.
Fleur sets out the key drivers such as what is breaking you, what is your mindset, what is success, how to lead and very importantly, how to make changes stick to be able to live a sustainable, successful lifestyle. In The Overachiever’s Reset she offers solutions, a new pathway, a new roadmap to a better healthier, happy way forward.
The Overachiever’s Reset is recommended reading for all High Achievers from all walks of life looking to reassess, discover their real worth and change their lifestyle to a healthy, sustainable version of themselves.
