My Version of Success: Unlearning Society's Definition

Society told me success was:

•Fancy suit
•Sports car
•Expensive watch
•High paying stressful job
•Massive mansions & all the toys

I UNLEARNED what they PROGRAMMED me to think & built my own version of success.

Success to me is:

•Freedom of time & location
•Spending hours a day playing with my kids
•Working with purpose on things I love that help people
•Peace of mind, a fit body & a home full of laughter & love.
•Never having to ask for a day off or waiting for approval to travel pic.twitter.com/1lblOEzYib

By the time you’re 18 you’ve seen 100,000 commercials PROGRAMMING your subconscious on what success is.

You’ve had family, colleagues & others urge you to play it safe, color in the lines & climb that corporate ladder.

What if that isn’t what you want?

I was 31 making six figures managing the largest bank in the US.

On paper I had what society told me would make me happy.

-Safe job
-Nice home
-Fancy suits & watches
-High paying “important” stressful job

But I wasn’t.

Each day I watched the clock slowly TICK MY LIFE AWAY.

Each day I longed to work on things I was passionate about & actually help people.

I wanted to be HOME more & not miss my kids lives.

I wanted to wake up excited to work on things I was passionate about.

My definition of success looked way different than what I was sold.

If this resonates with you here’s a few things I would recommend you do.

If this doesn’t, or you work a 9-5 you are passionate about & love that’s awesome too. Keep killing it!

For the others that know this feeling I’m describing of THERE’S GOT TO BE MORE then this is for you.

1) Get out a pen & paper.

Write down what a PERFECT DAY looks like for you.

If money wasn’t a thing what would you work on all day?

Who would you spend time with?
What activities would do for leisure & how often?

Get to know what YOU really desire?!

2) You are the CEO of your life.

If you don’t have 5 year, 1 year, quarterly, weekly & daily goals like any good CEO does then stop daydreaming.

Go back to matrix.

But you can CREATE what you know you’re capable of.

3) Hire mentors & coaches that are living (AND SHOWING PROOF not just tweeting about success) in similar places now that you want to get to.

I found @zachhomol_

He’s the highest ROI investment I ever made!

Work backwards & create the life of SUCCESS that YOU want! pic.twitter.com/E0zlKyDPCs

4) Know going in you’re going to need to give up some things.

1) Being normal & fitting in.
If you want to be like everyone else do what they do.
2) Comfortable habits & patters.
All GROWTH happens outside of comfort.
3) Caring what others think.
It’s too risky, play it safe…

Time is going to move on either way.

3 years from now you’re either still trapped in the corporate job you hate so you can pay bills, watch Netflix & exist

OR

You’ve done it.

You’re waking up in your dream life daily.

Life’s not easy.
It’s not supposed…

The choice is yours alone my friend.

The most frightening thing I ever heard was while volunteering in a nursing home.

I heard from SEVERAL people I always knew I had this gift or talent to do this.

I always planned on chasing my dreams.

But life got busy.
I had bills. pic.twitter.com/kDsfmJ5BAV

Now I’m in my final season & I always wonder what if…..

What if I bet on myself?
What if I didn’t listen to the naysayers?

What if I chased my version of SUCCESS?

What IMPACT could I have had?

Don’t let this be you.
Take the first step today.
