Episode 51: Don’t Miss Your Life While You’re Building It

What is all of your success actually for?

After moving my son Mason into college, I found myself thinking about how quickly certain seasons of life pass and how easy it is, especially as an ambitious entrepreneur, to stay focused on what you’re building next without fully noticing the life happening right now.

You can have a successful business, a family you love, financial success and a life you’re genuinely grateful for and still realize that the way you’ve been defining success may need to evolve.

In this episode of Redefining Success®, I’m sharing what this new season has me thinking about, from building a business that gives you the freedom to be there for the moments you don’t want to miss to maintaining your own identity while raising a family and continuing to invest in your marriage as your kids grow up.

We also talk about why being happy, healthy and wealthy has become such an important part of how I define success and why high performance at this stage isn’t about squeezing more productivity into an already full life.

It’s about deciding what deserves your ambition now.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why successful entrepreneurs can become so focused on the future that they miss what’s already happening around them

• How to build business success around the life you actually want to live

• Why your identity, interests and goals still matter while you’re raising a family

• What happens to your marriage and relationships as your kids become more independent

• Why your health belongs in the conversation about long-term financial success and freedom

• A different way to think about high performance when you already know how to create results

• Why a successful business can still require too much of your mental attention, even when you technically have flexibility

• The question that can change the way you approach business growth: What do you want your success to make possible?

You don’t need to wait until you’re burned out, unhappy or ready to walk away from your business to rethink how you’re operating.

Sometimes the best time to redefine success is when things are going well.

You’ve already proven you can create results. Now you get to decide what you want those results to create in your life.
