What does success mean to you? School teaches us that success comes by following the rules, getting the right answers, and working hard. But is that success? Think of the person you admire the most. They broke the rules. Jesus, Gandhi, Einstein, Bezos, Rigsby...all non-conformists! Because if you keep doing (and believing) what you've always done, you will keep getting what you've always gotten. If you want something else, something more or different, you MUST do things differently! If you are closing in on the end of your first career, or maybe you're just ready to do something different...carefully consider how you will measure success. One question I like to ask my private advisory clients is, "If we met for coffee in a year and I asked if you've succeeded...what elements would you consider in order to answer the question?"
