This is a YouTube video titled "What your definition of success says about you..." featuring Rich Schefren speaking about the importance of defining personal success on one's own terms rather than following societal or financial measures. The content is a monologue or speech by Rich Schefren recorded in August 2023.
If you don't define what success is for you yourself, you're chasing something that someone else has determined is your prize. So I think everyone has to have their own definition of success. Defining success has to be very unique to you personally. It's not what society has determined as success, it's what you've determined is success. I'm much more about having a life that matters, that like, because I existed, the world is better, that the people around me are better, that the people that interact with my business are better. So my definition of success is much more in line with that as opposed to a number or some figure. Their definition of success very different than mine. They were all more successful, quote, unquote, like financially than me, significantly more. But I wouldn't trade my life with them. And so the way they designed their life, I was not envious of that. And that's why first and foremost, everyone has to have their own definition of success.
