But What Does Success Mean To You?
Do you have to be a millionaire to be successful?
Do you have to live in an enormous house?
Do you have to drive an expensive car?
Do you need to have a prestigious job title?
For the vast majority of my Twenties, I believed that I had to earn a tremendous amount of money in order to be a “success”. Money was at the core of most of the decisions I made and the jobs I worked.
I have learned a lot of lessons since then.
These days, I am not spending the majority of my time chasing after more money.
Instead, I am chasing after a better lifestyle.
