Success Isn’t What You Think: The Unfiltered Truth from a Top Designer & Entrepreneur with Lisa Cini

Companion to the MaxLife episode with Lisa Cini

Designer and entrepreneur Lisa Cini draws a hard line between happiness you can buy and joy you have to become, and between playing the victim and owning your result.

▶ Watch the full episode with Lisa Cini for deeper context on how to approach these questions
01

Bought Or Became

Think of something recent that made you feel good. Was it a quick hit you paid for or scrolled to, or did it come from something you actually built or pushed through?

A quick hitSomething I builtAn award or a numberA hard thing I finishedHonestly, just numbing outA mix
02

The Story You Tell

Think about a recent loss or setback. When you describe it to yourself, does it sound like something that was done to you, or something you had a hand in?

03

Who Robbed You

Lisa told a kid who said a team 'robbed' them that nobody robbed them, they just didn't show up. Take that setback again. Can you say the part that was actually on you?

Nobody took this from me. The part that was on me was ___.
04

The Shield You Carry

Lisa says people put a shield around their spirit so they look right and don't seem stupid, and other people can feel it go up. Where do you raise yours the most? And once it's up, what are you trying to keep people from seeing?

05

Where Your Heart Isn't In It

She says you can't be consistent where your heart isn't in it. Where are you grinding at something your heart left a while ago, and what's the honest call: keep going for real, or let it go?

Lisa says she's either winning or learning, never losing. The difference is whether you own the result or hand it to someone else to carry. Read back what you wrote. The honest, uncomfortable answers are the ones pointing at joy, not just the pleasant ones pointing at happiness.
