You Can't Be Successful If You Don't Know What Success Means to You | Solo Episode

The Oxford dictionary defines success as "the accomplishment of an aim or purpose." It doesn't say what the aim should be. It doesn't say whose purpose. Most people spend their entire lives chasing someone else's version of success and never stop to define their own.In this solo episode of Conversations That Count, David Shaft talks about why he defines success as freedom and why that definition looks completely different from the person who just wants their bills paid, a job they love, and a family to come home to. He shares the moment he looked at his own journal and realized he wasn't doing everything he promised himself he would, and challenges every listener to build a vision board and describe their perfect day in writing before the week is over.Why telling yourself you "have to" keep something for nine years is completely different from choosing to, and how that one shift in language reveals whether you're living by default or by designThe Franklin D. Roosevelt quote that reframes success as the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort, not the things you accumulate along the wayThe two challenges David gives every listener: build a vision board with images of what you actually want, and write out one perfect future day in your journal in immense detail, step by step, line by lineWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ConversationsThatCount-CTCNew episodes of Conversations That Count every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
