I find it hard to measure success without counting numbers.Â
Graphs, Dow Jones, number of sales, dollars in revenue, number of homeruns, scores on a test. We seem to always measure performance by some sort of counting.Â
What I am saying is, I think I’ve lived a good life, I am happy with my life, but I don’t feel successful because I don’t have any numbers to show for it – no income, no account balance, no fans, no significant number of visitors to my website, no one calling me to ask my advice.
When I was doing well in real estate, I felt succesful. I can count the number of sales, the amount of money I made, number of clients I had. I was stressed, but I felt successful.
Now I am totally happy, but I feel I have to make money. I don’t care about money per se. I just want to have a measure to say that I am successful. I want to make money and give it away.Â
