Stop Chasing Their Finish Line. Define Your Own.
What does “success” mean to you?
For a moment, ignore what the world has told you it should mean. Forget the follower counts, the revenue leaderboards, the magazine features. What does a successful life and business feel like to you, in your bones?
Does it feel like a packed calendar or an open one?
Does it feel like a big team, or a lean one?
Does it feel like closing your laptop at 3 PM every day?
Does it feel like having the creative freedom to pursue any idea that excites you?
The default definitions of success are a trap. They will have you climbing a ladder that you may not even want to be on. The most important work you can do as the founder of a nurtured business is to create your own definition, your own scorecard, based on your own core values.
A business is a tool. It is a vehicle designed to take you toward the life you want to live. But if you don’t know the destination, you’ll just be driving in circles.

This is a topic I turn over in my mind all the time. I tried climbing that ladder, and I was miserable. Now, it’s more like I’m building a garden. To me, success feels like peace and ease. Play. Fun. Joy. Laughter. Resourcedness. Community. I love the question “What is the next step that aligns with my vision of a successful life?”
