5 Big Misconceptions Of Success
Understanding success by understanding what it isn’t.
All the proof you need is to look at some of the mental struggles entrepreneurs face. Over the years, it was taboo for entrepreneurs to talk about tough times or on the mental issues they face. These days, that tone has changed drastically with many people stating they struggled and still deal with depression.
The fact that this emotion exists even amongst the successful people in our lives is clear there are a lot of misconceptions about success. Not to mention the price to pay for success in the first place.
But understanding what success isn’t, we can better define what success really means to us. It’s along the same lines as being a millionaire. Sure everyone wants a million dollars, but do you really want it? Because most people don’t have the mental fortitude and crack under it.
We see that all the time with lotto winners going bankrupt in a few months to a year.
Success is similar.
So take some time to understand what success isn’t and you’ll better shape what success means to you.
