The Cost That No One Considers in Defining Personal Success

What is success? Is it simply financial stability of material possessions? What metrics do you track to consider your life successful? Or do you get frustrated by trying to live up to someone else's definition of success? Tune in to this episode to hear why defining success for yourself is the most important work you can do! Everyone has the capacity to create the limitless boundaries of their own success, not based on the traditional narrative of accumulating wealth. Nobody can tell you what success means for you. You decide it because you are the author of your life. You can create a decision-making framework or process that will set you up for success by ensuring that you define your success, the values you wish to move forward with, and whether the risk you take is acceptable to you. 

In this episode, we discuss the internal struggles that nearly everyone experiences but only a couple talk about in the process of creating success. It is the struggle between what we want and should do. Listen and learn an easy decision-making framework that will help you and make it easy to make decisions that lead you to a life of what you actually want.
