What Success Means to Matthew Turner
Success to Matthew Turners is getting to leave his phone at home, he can walk away from his laptop and go with his family and spend the day fishing on a lake.
Successful people have defined what success means to them. They have taken a step back and defined what success means to them. Not just in business but in life. Ask yourself what impact do you want to make and what would make you happy? Think of it as if someone gave you one billion dollars and you no longer had to work and make money. You can then remove earning a living from the equation. Focus on the truly important things in life.
Most people don’t truly know what they want to do. They haven’t taken that step back. The first step is to acknowledge they don’t really know what their dream is or they might realize that wow, I am chasing someone else’s dream. The next step is to find it. Figure out what it is. Once you have that definition you can build a life that will get you to it. Your definition will evolve over time but the foundation and fundamentals should not need to change. The same is true for your brand in business. It will evolve but the fundamentals of it will remain constant.
