Use Your Own Scoreboard

I encourage you to measure your success less by how many followers you have, how much money you own and how much power you possess and more by the freedom, joy, great health, love and beauty that fills your days.

This is what my latest book The Wealth Money Can’t Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning versus spending your life climbing a mountain, only to find out at the end that it was the wrong one. You can order it now by clicking here.

Transcript

One of the things that has served me so well is populating my professional life and my personal life with people who are at a higher level than I'm at, and they are called mentors. Run your own race. And that's really the first lesson I learned from one of my mentors. Run your own race. Stay in your own lane. You have no competition if you are in your own division. And what I mean by that is simply this, it's so easy to get swept off your game, swept off your vision, swept off your values, swept off your focus when you're measuring your success and your performance by your so-called peers in your industry or your competition within your craft. And that first lesson was so profound, he simply said run your own race. Come up with your ambition, come up with your vision, and have the singular focus and the character discipline to say I'm just gonna put these blinders on and stay true to myself, true to my values, true to my vision. So the first thing, run your own race, stay in your own lane. You know, measure success by how close you're getting to your mountaintop versus the mountaintop of your competition or your neighbors.
