Designed to Succeed
In Designed to Succeed, Grammy winner Kevin Olusola from Pentatonix and international life coach Donovan Dee Donnell reconceptualize what it means to be successful. This faith-driven blueprint will teach you how to avoid the 'hustle, grind, repeat' cycle and identify practical, spiritually sound ideas for creating a fulfilled life.
Success May Not Be What You Think It Is
Grammy Award winner Kevin Olusola of the multiplatinum a cappella group Pentatonix and international life coach Donovan Dee Donnell have seen it all. They've had the applause, money, and everything people said they should be living for, only to discover that success as the world understands it is a hamster wheel—an exhausting chase that leads to emptiness.
In Designed to Succeed, Kevin and Donovan challenge our deeply held notions about success. They reconceptualise what it means to be a high performer, showing us that it is sustainable only in partnership with God, who designed each of us with gifts and a purpose. In Designed to Succeed, you will discover:
- How to break free from false identities and performance traps so you can experience a fulfilled life
- How to develop a practical framework for aligning your decisions and desires with your God-given purpose
- How to balance ambition with authenticity to attain a deeper, truer, sustainable success
You were designed to succeed, but attaining that lasting success is not achieved by listening to what other people tell you it is. It begins when you align with God, embracing the unique purpose he designed you for. Only then can you get off the hamster wheel. When you do, you will step into authentic, enduring success that will leave you fulfilled, empowered, and energised for all that is to come.
