Member-only story
If you ask the average person what a successful life might look like, I’ll bet pictures of people who have made a lot of money will flash through their heads, initially.
Because wealth is too often equated to success.
But is that a true measure of a successful life?
Is it only money that equates to success?
Does successful investing, always protecting assets, buying impressive goods and chattels, and watching the fear and greed responses on the share market, really make for happiness?
That’s like living your life in a strait-jacket.
In many ways I see this as evidence that we have lost our way.
Multi-billionaire, Richard Branson, agrees with me.
‘Too many people measure how successful they are by how much money they make or the people that they associate with. In my opinion, true success should be measured by how happy you are.’
