What's your definition of success? C-suite title? A house in the neighborhood everybody wants to live in? Blue check mark by your Instagram? Hitting your revenue target? $ amount in your bank account?
None of these things are bad, but anyone who's chased and attained them as their end game would tell you they're incredibly fleeting.
But what if there were a different kind of success? One that gave you the sense of satisfaction and fulfillment that none of these other things could.
