On Success: My Unique Achievement Equation 🤍
I'm going to be cheesy for a moment and repeat the phrase we've all heard a million times: Success is a journey, not a destination. The path to it is often paved with hard work, determination, and a unique combination of factors. In this post, I'm going to share my personal equation for success, and I hope it can inspire you to create your own formula for achieving your dreams and goals.
1. Constantly learn new things.
I’m always trying to learn new things because let's be real, in a rapidly evolving world, staying curious and open to new knowledge is vital. Almost exactly a year ago I landed in Oxford and decided to take tutorials in 18th-century opera, ancient witchcraft, and protestant vs. catholic art. I also wrote a thesis on medieval architecture. I could've stayed in my comfort zone and studied politics or economics like I had over the past four years but I decided to push myself because I knew that I had to diversify my scope of knowledge because that's what successful people do. Simply put--constantly learning new things is, in my opinion, non-negotiable. Pick a topic, draft a schedule that forces you to immerse yourself in said topic for a set period of time, become an expert in said topic by following said schedule, rinse and repeat.
2. Eat healthy.
I drink tons of water all day (my team makes fun of me for getting up every 15 minutes to use the bathroom. I'm not phased.), I don’t really snack, and I eat my weight in vegetables, and I get frequent blood and allergy tests to make sure I’m taking the right supplements. I don’t do dairy, I don’t do red meat, I don’t do refined sugar, and I don’t do processed carbs. Yes, I have my treat meals on the weekends and yes I have a couple of drinks on Saturday night but 90% of the time, my diet is extremely clean. The fact is, I have a level of physical wellbeing and body composition that I like, and reaching and maintaining that requires a level of discipline when it comes to food. I’m willing to pay the price and as a result, I feel absolutely amazing every day. So I really urge you to eat very well because you deserve to look and feel great every single day.
3. Network like your life depends on it.
If there's one thing that was beat into my consciousness from an extremely young age, it's the importance of networking. Why? Because a supportive network provides guidance, mentorship, and collaboration opportunities. I've gotten job and internship offers, romantic and platonic relationships, and flat-out absurd opportunities simply from networking...like my life depends on it. Just a couple years ago, I went to Dubai for a few weeks with my partner, and my mother quite frankly told me that if I didn't network with at least one alum from my college/boarding school while there, I wouldn't be allowed back home. I'm currently working in my exact role because of that very warning and I'm forever grateful.
4. Work out out daily.
The thing is, I hate working out. Like I'd rather stare at a wall for an hour than run on a treadmill for 10 minutes. But no matter what, when my alarm goes off at 6:00 AM, I’m jumping out of bed, putting on my workout clothes, and heading to the gym. It’s my routine and while I’d much rather get some extra sleep, I’m not going to let my desire for comfort get in the way of my health. And I don’t kill myself in the gym, I do 30 minutes (10 minutes of cardio, 20 of weight training) and I head out. No muss, no fuss. And if you want to get your shit together in a pinch, starting by working out every day is probably just what you need.
5. Avoid social media.
Because for 95% of people, social media is an addiction. Keeping up with your friends via Instagram is great, spending 7 hours per day scrolling through Instagram reels is pathetic. So I choose not to engage. If someone wants to contact me or know what I’m up to, they’ll just have to reach out and I prefer it that way. Moreover, I'm a very private person so I really don’t care to post about my personal life to a group of people I barely know. I had a truly epic graduation party this weekend and the most beautiful thing about it is that I didn’t have to worry about posing for pictures or documenting any of it on my story. I really advise you all (anyone? do people actually read these posts? I digress.) to get real with yourself and be honest about your social media usage. And if it's not improving your life in a notable way, get rid of it. You can thank me later.
6. Constantly upgrade your appearance.
I got my color analysis done and now I know exactly how to dress and color my hair. I’ve got my hairstyle analysis done and now I know exactly how to cut my hair to compliment my features. I got my seamstress to alter and make a bunch of my favorite outfits and now my clothes fit my body shape to absolute perfection. The list goes on, but in short, I look really good because I know exactly what I’m working with and have done absolutely everything to accentuate my beauty. Establish a regular skincare routine to maintain healthy and glowing skin. Use makeup to enhance your features, not mask them. Choose natural and flattering colors. Stand tall and maintain good posture. Dress in a way that accentuates your body and makes you feel confident. And most importantly, remember that beauty is 90% energy and 10% looks.
7. Master the art of good conversation.
And not because I’m a natural extrovert, but because I decided that I was sick of being that awkward girl who didn’t really have any friends and so I got to work. I’ve read probably 40 books on social psychology/charisma/seduction and I’ve worked super hard to put all that I’ve learned into practice. At this point, I can talk to pretty much anyone about pretty much anything and know that they’ll leave the conversation feeling really good. Effective communication is the bedrock of human interaction, and being skilled in this area can profoundly impact one's relationships and success. In professional settings, being a skilled conversationalist can lead to better collaboration, negotiation, and problem-solving. In personal relationships, it can deepen bonds, enhance empathy, and create a sense of mutual understanding. Remember that being a good conversationalist is not just about talking; it's about creating an environment where ideas flow freely, relationships flourish, and opportunities for growth and connection abound.
8. Keep your finances in order.
I've worked really hard to secure a great paying job, live in a great location and in a great apartment, and have enough money to save but also to enjoy the finer things. Yes, I dated a prince and all that but the fact is, I’ve been working my ass off since high school to get to this place. At 16 I wasn’t spending my summer at the pool, I was spending it crunching numbers for eight hours daily at an accounting firm. I’ve always wanted to be a financially stable person and I’m so glad that at this age, I am because I made it happen. I know this is hypergamy Tumblr, but at the end of the day, no man is going to hand you a $10 million check and ride you off into the sunset with the snap of your fingertips. Like attracts like, meaning well-to-do men, 90% of the time, are going to end up with women who have their shit together financially. You don't have to be a self-made millionaire, but as an adult, you do have to be able to take care of yourself.
9. Stay informed.
I’m knowledgeable about what’s happening around the world at all times because…it’s important. Like, really important. I have Bloomberg up all day and the second a new alert pops up, I’m on it. I also spend about an hour per day listening to NPR (while getting ready), reading WSJ, or even just scrolling through Buzzfeed. Staying informed allows me to not only converse freely about current trends with others, but it also allows me to feel my most confident and ready to face the world. Staying informed on current events is not merely a passive activity but a dynamic engagement with the world around us. It equips individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected global landscape, make informed choices, and actively participate in shaping the future.
10. Have hobbies and interests.
Yes, I love attending the opera and the Met on Saturday afternoons, but I also love learning about manifestation and trying crazy food science recipes. The point is that my hobbies and interests themselves don't really matter, the fact that I am passionate about a lot of things does. And when you're passionate about your goals and pursuits, you're more likely to stay committed, work harder, and overcome obstacles with determination. So stop focusing on the "quality" of your hobby and try to just have fun with it! Let your hobbies connect you with new communities and open you up to new, if not a bit strange, opportunities.
11. Give back to your community.
Most of all, the key to my success is giving back to my community because having all the looks, money, and fame in the world ultimately means nothing if you can't share your abundance with others. I volunteer when I can, I give funds to those who need them (currently, I'm helping my aunty put three amazing girls in Haiti through college abroad and one man in medical school), and I have a whole lot of official and unofficial mentees. In a world that often emphasizes individualism and self-achievement, it's essential to remember the profound importance of giving back to your community. Please please please take the initiative, get involved, and experience the transformative power of giving back.
Lovingly, Elle

Wisdom from my Wall Street Job!
As many of you are aware, I've embarked on my post-graduate career within the realm of finance. While this path certainly presents its share of challenges and stressors, it's proving to be an invaluable source of insights. Naturally, I'm eager to extend some of these freshly acquired pearls of wisdom to all of you.
Cold messaging works.
Just last week a cancer researcher reached out to me via LinkedIn asking for twenty minutes of my time to gain insight into breaking into finance. I organized a Zoom call (not that it matters, but he’s gorgeous and insanely well-spoken and I was fangirling the entire time hehe), I gave him advice and decided to get him in touch with one of my most successful mentors who also started her career in cancer research. He just messaged me this morning saying he’s got an interview scheduled. Now I’m not saying everyone is going to be as nice as me in accepting random messages from strangers, but I am saying that you have nothing to lose and potentially everything to gain from cold messaging. So, if your aspirations include breaking into a specific industry or joining a particular company, I wholeheartedly recommend composing a well-crafted message that can be disseminated to numerous professionals in that field.
Likeability is paramount.
Funny story: when I was interviewing with my team, I was competing against about ten other incoming analysts that had far more impressive profiles than me. One had an MBA, another was a financial engineering major and math minor at a top Ivy, and yet another had interned at two of the top hedge funds in the world. So, when I was approaching the interview process, I decided to go about it in a unique way: I focused wholly on presenting as the most likable person the team had ever met. I opened the conversation with a joke, I made it clear that I’m super competitive and can perform, and I talked about how much I love golf and tennis and happy hour. By the end of the interview not only did I have everyone in the room smiling and chuckling, but I had also seamlessly deviated them from grilling me about my non-finance background. My experience reinforces a key principle: while competence is undeniably important, the paramountcy of securing allies and supporters can hardly be overstated.
Showcase your niche from the outset.
Upon starting a job, seize the opportunity to spotlight your unique strengths right from the outset. For example, if you happen to speak six languages fluently which would allow your team to communicate with a new sector of clients, make that known. If you were an English major and as a result can write better than anyone on your team, make that known. If you know how to code and can automate a task that typically takes your team a significant amount of time, make that known. Essentially, the aim is to establish yourself as an invaluable asset by excelling in a particular area. My niche happens to be formatting. I can bang out a perfectly formatted Excel graph in like 30 seconds and my boss is elated by that fact, particularly because no one else on my team is that great at formatting. And you better believe I made that skill known while interviewing with my team.
You may just have to work harder.
Meaning, everyone has their niche and the role you find yourself in may not be yours. And that’s okay. I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a numbers girl and I struggle tremendously with the financial modeling aspect of my job. Instead of getting discouraged by that fact, I just choose to accept the challenge and work a bit harder than my friends and coworkers to perform at their level. And again, that’s okay. So instead of writing off a career because you’re not a natural math-wise or salesperson, just commit to working harder. The curve will be steeper and take longer to climb it. THAT’S OKAY. Lean in, embrace the challenge, and get to work.
You don’t have to know much of anything.
As long as you can surround yourself with people that do. One more story: A few weeks ago I decided to take my budgeting seriously now that I’m living on my own and have my own bills to pay. The problem, however, was that I had no idea what to budget for. So instead of racking my brain and attempting to build a budget with no reference, I went to my most frugal team-mate (the man eats ramen noodles every day for lunch and dinner at the desk) and asked him for advice. By the next morning, I had an extremely detailed budget built out in Excel created entirely by my teammate. I can go on about the ways I’ve improved my life just by asking for help, but instead, I’ll just say this: surround yourself with people that know more than you. Ask for help, take their advice, and apply it to your life. The growth you’ll experience will be remarkable.
Lovingly, Elle
I was just applying my sunscreen stick to my face in a cafe and this man approached me and said “You’re genius for applying deodorant to your face. It’s so damn hot out” and then walked away before I could explain myself.
