We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Elizabeth, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
When our youngest son, Quaid went to first grade, I thought it would be a brilliant plan to get suited back up and go back to work. I became the vice president of a financial services firm and soon understood the grass wasn’t greener. While contemplating my options, one day I closed my office door and began to brainstorm. I figured if this at home mom versus working mom dilemma was happening to me, it, along with a multitude of other things, are happening to others. I wrote down the words, Best Ever You and in that moment The Best Ever You Network was born. That was August 2008.
Since then, all things Best Ever You have grown into a recognized brand that continues to shine. From the website, members, and contributors to a large following in social media, to YOU Magazine and to The Best Ever You Show, which has hundreds of guests and millions of downloads, I’m endlessly grateful for the growth I’ve experienced. My intentions and purpose remain genuine and clear: I hope to help as many people as possible live their best and most positive, peaceful, successful lives. It’s non-stop learning and a success curve that has had its ups and downs, just like the stock market.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
In 2008, I closed the door to my office to think about my life.When I opened it, I walked out and left behind an almost two-decade career in the financial services industry in order to open the doors for The Best Ever You Network. Today Best Ever You is a multi-media brand and platform with millions of fans and followers around the world.
The most exciting part about Best Ever You is all of the people that I am able to feature on my website, in YOU Magazine and on The Best Ever You Show. We feature people from all over the globe who each share about all aspects of their lives with our network. I also have a strong social media following and love to engage others in this format.
I’m also grateful that as I’ve grown personally and professionally, I’ve become an author. My first book was PERCOLATE – Let Your Best Self Filter Through and was published by Hay House. My latest book, published by HCI, is The Change Guidebook – How to Align Your Heart, Truths, and Energy to Find Success in All Areas of Your Life. I’m also pleased to announce that I have another book coming in Spring 2024 called The Success Guidebook – How to Visualize, Actualize and Amplify YOU
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Three areas of knowledge that have been most impactful to me on my journey are the topics of change, success, and time management. I believe we aren’t entitled to time. When we live our life understanding this concept, it creates a deeper gratitude for all moments big and small. This helps us better manage how we spend our precious moments to help us align our heart, truths, and energy to find that success we crave in all areas of our life.
As a master life coach, I see a pattern where people seek help mostly for help navigating change or finding success. I founded The Best Ever You Network with ten points for best navigating change, which are covered in depth in The Change Guidebook. In my coaching practice, I also developed ten factors of success to help people become their best and live their best life. These factors are featured in my new book, The Success Guidebook.
For anyone who wants to develop or improve any aspect of their life related to change, success, and time management. I think it is first important to approach these topics with an attiude of patience, gratitude, self-love and self-worth. They are big topics and can be frustrating if not tackled with grace and respect for yourself and your learning and application of the concepts to your everyday personal and professional life.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I am always seeking folks to partner or collborate with. I think BestEverYou.com wouln’t be what it is today without everyone involved. We seem to be in a period of time where brands are becoming more and more individualized, so it is more important than ever to realize the power of collaboration and working together to create something that is bigger than the individuals involved. I love to work with people who see a bigger picture and want to grow. If that is you, please reach out to me in social media or through the website.
