Using her company Class Pass as an example, Payal highlights the importance of knowing your strengths, your unique talents, who you are, and investing in the right people and mentors to show you the way.

Payal gives insight on how to set boundaries in service to your priorities, and how every minute of the day belongs to YOU, not anyone else. This means you don’t have to hold onto any guilt about doing what's right for you.

You’re more likely to reach your goals when you get to let go of the pressure to achieve a traditional kind of success and instead fuel your life with purpose. And when you focus on a life of creativity, you get to live the life you most want to live.

The 4-step LifePass Method combines intuition, pie-in-the-sky dreams, micro focus, and macro goals.

Reflect: Where have you been?

Focus: What are your priorities?
Set Goals: What’s the plan?
