I Think Society is completely confused on what success looks like. Yes, there are far less people making four million dollars a year being Logan Paul and Mr Beast and Charlie Demilio. However, I know thousands of people that make 50 to 200 000 a year being a Creator I know somebody right now I think she's gonna make 133 000. This year she was making 280 As a lawyer, her life is four thousand times better.
We haven't even started that combo. You know we've always had it as oh, you make more now than the thing. What about if you make less but you're a happy person.
Being your own boss is generally more enjoyable for entrepreneurial-minded people. I started my own business this year. My gross income was less than half at my previous job; however, my happiness was much higher. I'm glad to say I profited with the help of fellow business owners and I'm 110% looking forward to 2023!

Daily Positivity Energy! Thanks Gary!
It all depends on your definition of success. And it's not always about money. At the end of the day, if you have peace of mind, good health, and above all a fulfilling life, you succeed though. 🙂
I agree 🎉😮
Something my family has said for years. “ In jest”
Money won’t make you happy , but it will make you comfortable in your misery.
I can’t subscribe to that.
Misery is misery.
Joy is free.
A child’s laughter is more precious to me than gold.
And if I ever have “more than enough “
You can bet MY last dollar that I’d spread it around with those less fortunate.

Woah
Well if you earn a lot but you are sad might as well invest all of that to be free
When I lived in NYC, I worked in the music industry on the publishing side, and also had a super lucrative e-commerce business, before it was really a thing. I was pulling close to $480k a year. I went to Europe every 3 months, I went on random shopping sprees, got my friends and family the most over the top birthday and Christmas gifts, and wined and dined women from east to west coast. But then I got Cancer, and all of that went away…
Once I got better, I drove Uber and Lyft, while I went back to school for a cyber security certification, just to pay the bills; and in retrospect, I've realized that in the moment, driving people to and from the airport, was a moment of clarity that I cherish to this day. Happiness was simply me sitting in my car, having simple conversations, with people in transit. No stress other than traffic and music selection. All was right with the world. This may have not been the most financially lucrative, but was probably the most successful I had ever been.
I just heard a quote that is messed me up…
"The gap between what your soul loves and the amount of time you spend doing it, will be the size of your unhappiness"
—Paul Scanlon 🙏🏾
Espectacular
We didn't ask you goofball…
We should view success as being authentic and giving quality oh how naive profit over people is how the system works
Well if that lawyer already bought her house with 5 years as a high pressure lawyer, and has her school covered too, then it's a heck of a lot easier to enjoy $130,000.
HOW you make your money will always be more important than how much you make.. I hope we can have more real convo about this in 2023.
