December Topic: Define success.

What Does Success Look Like for Me?
In 2008, I failed a job interview with a technology company. The interviewer asked, “What would you do if time and money were no longer a limitation?”
I thought about it for a moment and replied, “I would be a full-time Dad.”
The interviewer’s face fell, and I saw that I was done with the interview. At that point, we both knew that we were done. I left the interview and went on my way.
Several years later, we lost our home to foreclosure because we didn’t understand the financial markets and system. Because of that, I started reading, listening, and associating with leaders from different industries. In time, I met with people that connected me to two top leadership experts and their company. Their goal is to help 1,000,000 people become financially free.
This connection has been a great blessing to my life, and I have joined their mission and company. I see success as becoming financially free. I see that success provides the income to build local businesses that can bless and serve my community. I want to take that income and help others create the lifestyle that they want. I see the freedom to spend family time and create memories for my family and business partners. Success to me is being an influential member of my community, county, state, and international business community.
