Defining Success On Your Own Terms With Elizabeth Hamilton Guarino

The Success Guidebook

Welcome to the show. I have a very special guest. I have with me author Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino, Master Life Coach and Founder of the Best Ever You network. She’s long espoused that we must redefine success for our authentic selves. A one-size-fits-all concept is not only outdated but unworkable. Success is so much more than data or the dollars in our bank account. I couldn’t agree more. Welcome to the show, Elizabeth. 

Thank you so much for having me, Jen. It’s great to see you and be in the company of such a great badass. 

Thank you. I love it. Elizabeth, you have not 1, not 2, but 3 books. You’re probably the fifth guest I’ve had who’s had three books already published, which we’re going to talk about. One of them, we share the same publisher and that’s how we know each other. Two of them are with HCI and shout out to our people, our family at HCI. We love you. Your first book is called Percolate, Let Your Best Self Filter Through. That was with Hayhouse. The second book was The Change Guidebook: How to Align Your Heart, Truths, and Energy to Find Success in All Areas of Your Life. Now, would you like to introduce your latest book to everybody?

Sure. It’s The Success Guidebook: How to Visualize, Actualize, and Amplify You. Over on Best Ever You and in my coaching practice, I teach people gratitude, change, and success. Over and over again, those are the things. We’re here talking about redefining success. 

Yes, and I can’t wait to jump into that. First, I do have to say that you got a testimonial for your book from Jack Hanfield, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul series, which is super cool. He wrote, “This is a must-read for all to pursue a life that resonates with your genuine happiness while dismantling the obstacles that have been holding you back.” How did you get a testimonial from Jack Hanfield? That’s what I want to know.

I have a podcast called The Best Ever You Show and he has been on my podcast and in my conferences multiple times. He’s just a good buddy and he’s endorsed all of my books, actually. I love Jack Hanfield. I love the way he delivers complicated information with ease. They’re digestible and relatable. The way he talks is down to earth. He’s really a good guy. He’s all about success and your success and my success. I tell him I copy him a little bit. I’m like, “Sorry, Jack. I’m going to copy you a little bit,” but I love him. 

That’s the thing. If you have been digging into the world of self-help, personal development, personal growth, or whatever you want to call it, there are no real new ideas out in the world. It’s all recycled stuff that we’ve been able to embody and then put out in our own words for people to relate to us. I think we all do that.

It’s really important to share our stories. I think that’s how we do that. We take the same information and then we apply our specific story to it. That’s a huge healing practice as well. The more and more you share your stories, the less you feel alone and you feel like you’ve helped other people. I just think we’re here to help each other be our best. 

Here on planet Earth. 

We are here on planet Earth to help each other be our best. I try to say this on The Best Ever You. “I hope that we encounter people with a sense of grace, elegance, compassion, collaboration, kindness, benevolence, abundance.” Whatever it is, those great words help people not leave with a bad taste in their mouth after having met you, but rather their footprint becomes stronger and they get a better feeling about you. You may have helped them in some small way. Do something they want to do. Even your smile or an act of kindness, whatever it is. 

 

We are here on planet Earth to help each other be our best.

 

Yes. In the Yellow Belt chapter of The Art of Badassery, share your story is how we bounce back a lot of times from trauma, drama, and tragedy. We’d be able to share our story with folks. When doing so, you allow, I believe, the universe to show up for you in synchronicities, in serendipities, in people, and in solutions showing up to your life. If you hold everything inside and you don’t share, how can you expect the world to show up for you? 

I think so, too. Especially like in your case, I know you’ve had a hip replacement. If you had not said that, I wouldn’t be telling you that my husband had both of his hips replaced and things like that. One of the scariest things that people have happened to them is having hips replaced because one can leave you one leg shorter than another. Both is scary to do at the same time. People are very afraid of that surgery. That surgery is getting better and better. I applaud you for sharing that. My husband did a little bit, but not in a book or anything like that. I wrote him into the book. 

You’ll see. I get people all over, wherever I’m speaking in the country, they’re coming up to me and being like, “I’m going to have hip replacement too.” I’m building this little army of robotic hip replacements.

The airport security tribe. 

Yeah, exactly. I’ve already let this secret out that you can still walk through the airport security, TSA check, without it going off. Just don’t say anything because the titanium, I guess, doesn’t set it off. 

It’s hilarious. My husband always gets searched. I don’t know why.

Elizabeth’s Story

Let’s go into your story a little bit, Elizabeth. What led you to become a three-time author? When did that start in your life? What were the steps that led up to that? 

Way back when in kindergarten, for real, I always wanted to be an author, but we’ll skip all that. I have always wanted to be an author. This is a little bit sad. My father had a stroke in 2004, and he had a stroke right in the middle of the living room floor and we proceeded to go through a very extensive process over the next few years of saving his life, rehab facilities, ICU and all these things. 

What really started this journey was he lived. He was in a rehab facility, and all these nurses got him ready for a speech therapy session. We were down in the speech therapy area and my mom and I were there with him. The nurse said, “Jim, I’m going to say the alphabet. When I say a letter, you say what word comes to mind.” She said, “A,” and he said, “Aardvark.” My mom and I were like, “The drugs are on board,” or something. I’m not sure.

He then said benevolence, courage, determination, excellence. F was a swear word. Goodness, happiness, integrity, joy, kindness, love. M was movies. P was platypus and on and on. Just an incredible list of inspiring words to put his foot down to say, “I’m going to not only live through this, but I’m going to thrive through this if I can.” I’m over there going, “I feel like such a goofball.” 

I felt like such a victim to that point because I have life-threatening food allergies. I had developed life-threatening food allergies and I’m like, “Woe is me,” but then, “Wait a minute, I get it.” I took out my journal and I drew this just terrible teapot, which ended up being a coffee pot with words. Originally, it was a teapot like Percolate: The ABCs of Life and all the words. This whole book is a coffee metaphor, an extended coffee metaphor of my coffee, self-help, and percolate and let your best self filter through. 

That’s where it started. I didn’t write another book. He passed in 2018. He’s a stroke survivor really well. He did a lot of cool things. It’s very sad without him. I said, “What am I going to do without you?” He knew. He said, “You’re going to put one paw in front of the other and you go on,” because I love cats. I’m addicted to cats. You might see my cat running around here. That was that. I wrote the change guidebook. My books always have my dad in them. The Change Guidebook has my mom in them because she was really lost. They’d been married for 45 years and she was really lost without him and stuff like that. Navigating change is tricky. 

Yes, it certainly is. I can relate. I lost my dad in 2016 and he was, I would say, my biggest cheerleader and into self-help books from the ‘70s and ‘80s. The person who got me into all of this, martial arts, health, and nutrition to begin with. It’s definitely challenging doing life without them. At the same time, there’s just been so much wisdom instilled in us, I can tell you, everyone out there, and me who has lost a parent, I’m sure. It’s there. It’s still easy to tap into. 

It’s a breathtaking moment, though, when you lose a parent. It is a real shock to carry on without them. You try and tell yourself all of those things. For a while, you can’t even hear it, but then it eventually sticks in like,” Yes, I remember this and this and this, but for a while, I was pretty lost.” I think about him teaching us baseball. I’m in the middle of eleven kids and there are seven girls and three boys. 

We had a huge family. I can remember my dad taking all of us and teaching us baseball and basketball and football and hockey and all these things. He’s like, “One day, it’ll serve you.” I’m like, “Yes, it does serve me. I have four sons.” They all played sports. One of them played professional baseball in Germany and is doing that right now. Things like that. I think about my dad a lot with all the sports he’s taught. It’s not martial arts, but I can actually throw a spiral football. Throw a football with a spiral. It’d be hilarious. 

You started this book, but were you a coach at the time? Did coaching come after? What was your career up until then?

My career has mostly been in the financial services industry my whole life. I quit doing that for a while. 

You pivoted.

I just stopped doing financial services and was at home with the kids and stuff like that. When the little one got into first grade, I was like, “Cool, I’m going to get suited back up, healed back up, makeup on, hair on, and go out the door and go to work. I’m good?” That sucked. Absolutely sucked. I’m like, “No, what do I do?” It’s one of those moments where you’re like, “This is not all it’s cracked up to be either. I found that I could not be 6, 8, 10, or 12 people at once.” It was like, who’s going to pick up the kids and answer that phone call at work and make dinner and do well? I’m just like, “My goodness.” 

I honestly just don’t know how women do it sometimes.

My husband is amazing. Truthfully, I have a husband who cooks, cleans, helps, watches kids, did change diapers, all those things.

As it should be exactly. 

Exactly, sometimes it’s not. I got lucky on that front. I just remember that moment of just being completely frustrated. It was funny, too, because the office I was in was for fighting guys. What is this? What is this thing of four? I closed my door and I wrote down best ever me, best ever you. I’m like, “There it is.” Just in a really funky moment. Just being like, “There’s got to be people who feel like they need to be 40 people at once and are struggling with this drama of trying to take kids and work and earn a paycheck for themselves and do this or that. I mean, just all over the map. Close my door and quit. I started Best Ever You Network right then and there. 

What does that network entail? 

Everything. No. It’s multimedia, personal, and professional development. Now, years later, it’s a magazine. It’s a podcast with 5 million downloads. It’s badass? It’s like badass stuff you have to work really hard at to get accomplished. It’s articles, it’s contributors, it’s these books. It’s anything that people want it to be. I love it. I’m so proud of it. My mom goes that thing’s got everything but the kitchen sink. I’m like, “You bring it on. Let’s put the kitchen sink on here.”

I think that’s such a great point that you brought up, though. It’s many years later. You start with an idea and put one foot in front of the other. What were the early days like? What was the hardest challenge of building this empire? 

That’s pretty funny. I came home from that job after quitting right on the spot. I told everybody I quit, and they were like, “What?” My husband’s like, “No.” I went up the street to my friend’s house. We did the website. I said, I need a domain. I think that was what it was called back then. I’m like, “I need this thing called a domain and a website.” She did everything for me. I interviewed my friend from kindergarten who was sewing baby bibs at her kitchen table in a six-figure business that she created for herself.

I just started interviewing people. Forbes Riley was my first guest on my podcast. It just went from there, but I’ll tell you lots of give-up moments where you’re just like, “This is really hard.” I think it’s that much fun. This is way more husband-funded than I want this to be. This is it. It was tough. I had one guy call me at one point who said, “You’ve got a domain that is mine.” I’m like, “I do” Do I really mean a phone call? He called me out of the blue, and he said, “I own everything best on the internet.” 

I’m like, “I guess you’re down one because I’ve got it.” He goes, “You’re nothing but a washed-up 40-year-old soccer mom. You suck and you’re screaming at me.” It was really mean and this is all I could think to say. I went, “Dude, my kids don’t even play soccer.” I went and I did the most badass thing I could think of which was register that domain for 25 years and down on it but it was a very intimidating phone call out of the blue and things like that. It really was off-putting.

There was a quick story. There was a time early on when my corporate name, like my business name, is actually Health and the City. Of course, I did this around the time that Sex and the City was popular. I was living in New York at the time and I just thought it was the coolest name ever. I registered for a trademark and I keep getting postcards in the mail. This is probably 2005, I don’t know. 

Kept getting physical postcards in the mail from a home box office and in some legal lease and I wasn’t understanding it. I would just toss them in the garbage can, toss it in the garbage can. Finally, my phone, like an actual phone on the desk rang and it was a lawyer from HBO. That was the first time that I put together that Home Box Office was HBO. Basically, they are trying to send me a cease and desist for registering my trademark. I said, “Absolutely not. I’m going to fight this.” With my $0 to hire a lawyer, I went to the press and the Wall Street Journal picked it up. 

The next thing, the New York Post picked it up. There’s a full-size picture of me in my martial arts uniform, and it was like HBO battles, or David and Goliath story, essentially, where HBO’s this giant and this little martial arts girl, and I won because they left me alone, finally. Anyway, just all to say out there, to remind everyone, there are unlimited possibilities in the universe of how to overcome challenges, whatever they are, big or small, it doesn’t matter. There are ways that you can’t even imagine how they can come true. That’s what I’m living right now.

It’s like drop right there. I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s very frustrating when things happen like that to you when you’re trying to do things from home and start a business and you’ve got all these almost naive, good intentions about you. You’re not sitting there looking yourself at everybody else’s competitors. You’re like, “Come on and help me do this.” Then somebody does that. It definitely throws you for a loop. I’ve had that happen a couple of times now where somebody tried, I hired somebody to do the website and they tried to hold it hostage like it was theirs. I’m like, “No.” I’ve just learned over the years what to do and what not to do and stuff like that. 

Defining Success

Great. Let’s talk about success and defining success because I love the word success. I’m all about it. I want to be more successful. Anytime I find myself saying that the coach inside me and otherwise people in my life will automatically say, “How do you define success?” Tell me about that. 

Good luck with that. I always say, “How’s that working out for you? Trying to define success.” It’s such a personal word and we treat it like it’s not. We treat it like, just think, I did this. I wrote a chapter in the book about Taylor Swift. We went to Gillette Night One. My husband got qualified to go in and ticket master and get random tickets and all that stuff. If that’s your success benchmark, you’re going to always feel like a failure, for example. 

Do not compare yourself to Taylor Swift. 

Please don’t or do and make it realistic and push you harder to do your dreams and goals and be open-minded and things like that, like in that regard. It’s a tricky, tricky word and it’s not about dollars, it’s not about analytics. I realize I don’t have blinders here, and I realize in some cases, it very much is. For our purposes, what I would like to do is help people start feeling enough so that we understand our worth, our value, and that we hold that in high regard, no matter where we are or what we’re doing. You can’t take phone calls like that guy who called me the worst thing ever. I would have crumbled and been like, “I’m sorry, here have it or whatever.” 

 

Success is not about dollars. It’s about understanding our worth and value.

 

We’ve got to really have conversations around this. Some good books have come out and are coming out on this in addition to mine, and I think what’s different about my book is that it’s a masterclass in success. All my books are master classes for the cost of a book. You don’t have to pay a penny more and you get a certification. The way I write my books, they’re all structured the same way as a narrative from me. Then there are two contributing stories. There are actually 20 people who show up in the book and talk about that factor of success or that point of change. Then there are two exercises at the end of each chapter. 

Love that. 

I really do, too. I love it when other people show up. If you read both of my books, The Change Guidebook and The Success Guidebook, you will know 40 people who are on your side. You can connect with them on LinkedIn even and say, “I read your story in The Change Guidebook or The Success Guidebook.” It’s an instant welcome.

Success Guidelines

I love that. With The Success Guidebook, you have ten guidelines in there. Would you be willing to share a couple of your favorites with us? 

Yes. That’s like picking which child is your favorite. I think I’d like to talk about believe. Believe is chapter two. That is in order to redefine success, we need to keep believing in ourselves, which is sometimes tricky. In this chapter, two of my favorite people in the world show up. One is my son, Cam Guarino, who is a baseball player and the other is coach Edwin Thompson, who’s the head coach of Georgetown University baseball, who our son, Kim, played for. They take over the chapter. 

Their stories of how they came to be, meet, play, and take Georgetown to the most historic season it’s ever had. Team 153 went to places that no other team in Georgetown history has gone. They take over that chapter. It’s all about believing in yourself, especially in the moments when the naysayer has come around to tell you that you suck or bad or should give up or shouldn’t do it and all this stuff. 

 

Believe in yourself, especially in the moments when the naysayer tells you that you suck.

 

It’s a powerful chapter about picking somebody up when they don’t feel so great, picking yourself up when you don’t feel so great and helping another human being succeed in the way they’re dreaming and wanting because Coach Thompson is not always dream big. Imagine having a coach around you that tells you to dream big instead of like, sometimes you get a hold of a high school coach or even another college coach who says, “He can’t do that. You’re not as good as you think you are or whatever.” What all the crap that gets said to you from people.

As Ted Lasso was. Believe. 

I had somebody else say that to me. They’re like, “Mom.” It was Quinn, actually. That’s our youngest son. He’s like, “You put a little Ted Lasso in there.” I’m like, “I guess I did. Yeah, believe.” The best coach ever. 

Love that. I want to just say this for my life anyway, and if you relate to this, other people listening as well, let me know. The older I’ve gotten, I feel like the person that puts me down the most is not someone out there but it’s me. It’s the person in our own head. Do any of the other guidelines point to that?

That belief chapter is right there supporting that as well. It continues from there. Imagine is the very first chapter of the book. That’s all about what we’re thinking internally, what we’re going to do and not do, and things like that. Those two chapters cover that perfectly. It goes from there into focusing on what you’re doing. It ages with you, even if you want to. There are chapters about adjusting to success and sustaining success. The contributors range in age from 14 to 85. Olympian Mitch Gaylord is in the book. 

Was he a swimmer?

He’s a gymnast. Gymnast. Then actress Tina Sloan is in the book and it goes on all the way to the end of the book which is celebrate. What we mean right there is like go to the bars and party hearty. What we mean right there is to celebrate our small wins. I call it success stacking. You get those little successes and they combine into, “What just happened? That’s so cool.” That just happened in one of those moments. There’s a pretty good toast to you at the end of the book and things like that. You can run an idea through each of the books and it will navigate you through what you’re thinking.

That sounds fantastic. It’s out in the world. I have to get myself a copy.

It is. It just came out in June, like the middle of June, but both books, so if you want to navigate a change, that’s a change guidebook. The success guidebook picks up right there. It assumes you know how to navigate change, but there’s a refresher course in it as well. If we forget how to navigate change, we go through those steps again because there’s a lot of change in success and a lot of success in change. They’re intertwined a little bit, but if you’re going to pick up both books, start with the change guidebook and then go to the success guidebook. You can read them either way if you want.

Personal Success

Through this work, have you been able to define your own success? 

Yes. I define it as a smile. As the smile that is on other people’s faces, on my own face. It’s the peace that you feel in your heart. I agree with you as you get older. It gets a little calmer. It gets a little bit more methodical and gets a little more peaceful. I want to say pick and choose maybe. I think if you asked me this question if I was 20, I might have a different answer and I might be trampling all over people to get what I want and tell you that money’s the most important thing in a house and a car and paying off my student loans and all that stuff. 

I think perspective is really important too, and that respect for perspective and different ages is important because success is really difficult to define depending on who you are, where you are, what age you are, what you want to do, and all these things. If it makes you peaceful and you’ve got a tribe around you that is going to help you succeed, there are no naysayers involved and things like that. Start there and just right there. That’s great success. 

I love that. Everyone out there, I would love for you to define what success means to you. If we can just advise or guide you to open it up past just dollars, data, analytics, followers, likes, or anything outside of you, really. 

I’ll give you another example if you want. Again, I’m a person who has life-threatening food allergies. I have a medic alert on and I carry epinephrine and all those things. I have four life-threatening food allergies on board that I developed in my late twenties after pregnancy. They’re with me and they’re not going away. I’ve had to learn to deal with them over the years and things like that. One of the ways I benchmark success is just in breath alone. 

Just things really important to root in gratitude and root in the things that you take for granted, like breathing. The second example I have of that is my eyesight. I have some very bad eyesight. I’ve had it on board with me since I was in third grade. I’ve worn glasses and or contacts since 3rd and 6th grade. It’s negative, like 950/10 in each eye. I’m pretty thankful that we have glasses and contacts and things like that simple little things like that. When you turn around and just say, “I’m just simply grateful for that.” That is a little success stack. 

Success. I love that. Gratitude, success, how it combines. Gratitude is just a great practice that brings us back to the present moment. 

Gratitude is so awesome because if you do this practice too, instead of saying like, “I’ve got to go do that. I’ve got to go, whatever it is.” In the book, I write this. If you flip that around to, “I get to go do that instead of I have to go do that,” you’ll see it floating around on the internet. I’m happy to see that going viral because that’s from the success guidebook. Instead of, “I got to go do that or whatever,” “I get to go do that.” That is a totally different energy. 

Completely. 

I will catch myself when I’m thinking about cleaning the house. I have to go clean the house and then I go, “I get to go clean the house. This is fun.” Not really, but yeah. 

Every day that we can breathe and see that we’re above ground is a day that we get to live our lives. Yes?

Yes. I almost started the book out like that. I toned it down. I almost started it like the worst day you’re ever going to have in your life is when you, and then I’m like, that’s too much. I toned it down and backed off of that stance. A little bit of that, especially if you have some experience along those lines where you’ve been resuscitated a couple of times like I have, what that feels like, it looks like and is. You go, “Okay.” 

Where it really sunk in, and I don’t know if this is true for you, but when my father passed away, it made everything material seem so just material for a long time. I really don’t care what shoes I have on. It was funky. I’m sure that was a little bit of depression talking and things like that, but a little bit of reality, too. I was like, “The things that were important to me before he passed away worked.”

No, there are definitely lasting effects from grief. I think that’s definitely one of them. It hasn’t gone away for me. I mean, to a certain extent, but stuff is stuff. Stuff is material. I try not to attach to stuff and really also relationships. I just felt like relationships that were very surface, fade away more quickly after losing my dad. I don’t know if that’s true for you as well.

It is. This book Percolate is widely used in the ER waiting rooms and in the ICU waiting rooms because it tackles the topic of grief and loss. It’s written with Dr. Katie Eastman, who is one of the foremost authorities on the topics of grief and loss in the country. Everyone, KatieEastman.com. She’d be a great guest for you. She’s a lovely human being, and she helps people recreate their life after loss. Really neat lady. 

I’d love to have her on. I’d love to talk about grief. I enjoy actually talking about death now, so that’s another thing too, which is weird.

I say that to him, but it heals and it also connects you with other people who understand that feeling because I don’t think people get it. I mean, I really don’t. I mean, I came back from Minnesota. My parents are in Minnesota and so on. My dad, it was going back and forth between Maine and Minnesota, came back and was packing for his funeral, actually. I went up to the grocery store and I was bawling over the pears. I mean bawling. 

I’m like, they’re great pears. I just was crying that moment, whatever caught me, and this lady. I still don’t know who this was, Jen. I was like, “Who is this?” She came up to me. I’m 5’3 and have a big hair day and she was shorter than I am and she was older and she said, “Can I give you a hug?” This is before COVID. This is 2018. I said, “Please, yes.” She gave me a hug and she said, “Sweetheart, which one of your parents just passed away?” I’m like, “How do that?” 

She goes, “The look on your face and the way you are is unmistakable.” She gave me a hug at that moment and said, “It’s going to be okay.” She goes, “You’re going to carry on.” My dad said to carry on, and Sally Hus said to carry on and all these things in my life. Everybody says carry on. I have no idea who that was to this day. I’m like an angel. I have no idea who that was. I’ve looked back so many times to try and find out who that was. Isn’t that neat? 

Yes. Carry on, I love that. Like I said, I love talking about death, dying, grief, all of it.

We love Katie. 

Yeah, I’m going to have to have Katie on. 

She’s the guest for you. 

Rapid-Fire Questions

Let’s move on from death. My four rapid-fire questions. Are you ready for them?

I hope so. 

They’re nice and easy, I promise. The first is, when you were a kid, what was your favorite childhood food?

Always. This is going to be dumb, though. Always beef jerky, isn’t that stupid? That’s the honest answer. You got my mom on here, she’d go beef jerky. All good? That’s 69% beef jerky. That’s so strange, though. 

Second, if you were to have a drink with anyone, the person could be alive or dead. Who would it be and what would be your drink?

George Burns. Love, as a child, I just was like, “I need to meet this person.” I never got to. The other human being would be Tommy Lee Jones. First, George Burns. 

What drink? 

I wouldn’t know what he would drink. Probably just water. No, probably beer. Probably just whatever. 

The third is what’s your favorite self-help book not including yours? 

That’d be The Success Principles by Jack Canfield. I have that. That book is like this thick. I have it pretty much memorized, so yeah I’m a really big fan, but I’m a big fan of everybody’s books, honestly. I get a lot of books my way and I put them all up on BestEverYou.com. I support all authors. If you have a self-help book and you want some PR that’s free, come to me. I’ll put it up on BestEverYou.com. We do radio shows, whatever it is, because they know how hard it is to write a book and how hard it is to find readers for your book to actually have the book sell is very tricky and things. Support yourself and help authors.
