44 - Analyze Geniuses to Change Your Life

 
Today we’re going to talk about something really exciting - how to achieve your goals by learning from the traits of successful people. So, first things first, let’s pick 10 people who inspire us and have traits that we want to emulate. Then, we’re going to analyze their achievements and the traits that made them so successful. We’ll compare them to our own characteristics and figure out which traits we need to work on to achieve our goals. And finally, we’ll find unique ways to apply these traits to our lives and our dreams - whether it’s through creating a coat of shields or writing down the harshest insults in a creative way. So, let’s get started on this journey toward success!

Jill McKinley

I’m Jill from the Northwoods. Professionally, I work in Health IT, where I untangle complex systems and help people use technology more effectively. But at heart, I’m a curious lifelong learner—always exploring how things work, why people grow the way they do, and how even the smallest steps can spark real transformation. That curiosity fuels everything I do, from problem-solving at work to sharing insights through my creative projects.

My journey wasn’t always easy. Growing up, I faced a rough childhood, and books became my lifeline. They introduced me to voices of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and the natural world around me. Those pages taught me resilience, gave me perspective, and helped me see that wisdom is everywhere—waiting to be noticed, gathered, and shared.
