Successiory is Rebranding. Welcome Crystal-Marie Sealy
/
In the spirit of authenticity, this move is a bit overdue. I always write that you don't need permission to live your truth, but I always write that knowing that sometimes we need to be reminded that we don't need permission. The final pieces of confirmation, for me came from two (2) people outside of myself,
Pia Silva, Forbes , speaker and advertising & marketing consultant - who wrote this piece for Forbes, and
This LinkedIn post by Ayelet Baron, Writer. Award winning Author. Facilitator. at Simplifying Work LLC,
that completely reminded me to stop “playing by the rules” so much. Who knew that I was still doing that?!
Why Rebrand?
Successiory has been great to me. When I was more logic-only, ignoring emotion in decision making; more focused on technical business tools and strategy, keeping all personal aspects of business at arms-length, Successiory truly fit. Compartmentalization - it's what professionals do.
Successiory was right where I needed to be, from 2011 when I started nursing the name, well through to 2017. It's grown with me through,
the root of the word “successiori”, being succession - which as a business name was taken eons ago, important to me because I’m always focused on the legacy and impact we have in the very long-term,
the “live your dreams leave your legacy” tagline, which I dropped because someone I had grown close to in the Entrepreneur-sphere, had started sounding as if I’d taken it from her (sad that that was my reason),
a thousand lessons I’ve learned about myself, about resilience, from my diverse and amazing clients, and
the many great and terrible cycles of business I'd borne alone, before my shift in mindset.
There is so much more of a mix of awesome and terrible than I can possibly express in one blog post, as I tear up, that Successiory has supported me through. I am eternally thankful.
Who I am now, however, doesn't fit here. I may always keep the Successiory domain, sure for SEO reasons, but also in honour of my journey. It's tough letting go, but this year something clicked that made me realize that it's just time for my own brand to stop hiding.
I'm bringing my technical experience with me, of course - it is a part of me - but I also welcome my feminine aspects, my shifts in mindset, my new boundaries and my natural, lifelong ability to hold space for and encourage others. If you stick around, you'll get to know more of those aspects of me, and how they've contributed to what I call success, to-date.

Okay, that's just my signature 😉. My brand will simply be my name, www.CrystalMarieSealy.com, as I focus on my motivational conference speaker, presence in the world. I’ll still be delivering my mindful entrepreneurship strategy and social media services, but I'll finally be:
putting those online courses out there,
writing at least one (1) of the three (3) books in my head,
putting my own strategic, technical and mindful business skills to work for myself! Strategy and social media. (The shoemaker's children should have shoes, right?)
Here's where I'll be vulnerable, or more vulnerable. This means I’ll be offering my premium, virtual strategy consulting and social media packages to only three (3) premium services professionals, who have seen my new pricing and know that they have the corresponding resources for personal or professional opportunities I offer. It goes beyond just “six-figure income earners”. If you've read my client profile, these continue to be the clients I serve best. These services, of course, work best on a foundation of trust. So get to know me, before you refer others, or get on board - subscribe here or follow me across social media. As these handles change, they’ll largely be @CrystalMarieSealy everywhere, but for shorter handle limits, I’ll keep you posted.
As things change, I hope to keep you posted here - if you enjoy e-newsletters - and of course on social media, if that's what works best for you. If you continue with me on this journey, I hope you enjoy the flow of things. If not, thank you for all of the time and energy you have invested to-date.
Warmly, in ease, flow and abundance, in love, light and embraced shadow,
Crystal-Marie
