When attempting to define success the easy cop-out is to say that it’s different for everyone. True, but not helpful.

Some people view success in terms of titles, power, influence, or even the status symbols money can bring: the flashy watch, the foreign car, the boat and beach house combo. That’s all fine, but for me, success is measured in free time.

When you can be truly selective about how, where and with whom you spend your time, you’ve likely accumulated enough wealth and influence. That’s my metric. Titles be damned.
