This is a short first-person excerpt by Jim Penman reflecting on life priorities: he intentionally prioritized family over business, believes home success outweighs external achievements, and titles his book No Other Success. He states he has 10 children and a very happy marriage, and frames success as meaningless without family and purpose.
I wanted to be successful from a very young age, but I also wanted marriage and children and to bring up my kids in the best possible way. Business must never stop me spending time with the people who matter. I kept my resolution and always made family a priority. I have 10 children and they have turned out fine. I also enjoy a very happy marriage. It is truly said that no other success can compensate for failure in the home. That is what I believe and that is why my book is called no Other Success. Success is meaningless without family and without purpose.
