Redefining Success: 10 Metrics That Truly Matter
For years, I confused succeeding with real success.
Turns out, I was measuring the wrong things.
While others chase:
- Bigger titles
- Bigger homes
- Bigger bank accounts
Here are 10 metrics I decided matter to me:
1. Mom + Dad + Kid Minutes
Like it or not, we’re on the countdown clock.
2. Your “Hell Yeah!” to “Oh No!” Ratio
Flow state minutes are where our potential hides.
3. Daily Steps In Nature
Minutes touching ground keep us grounded and energized.
4. Unscheduled Hours
The rarest form of wealth is personal sovereignty.
5. Average Age of Content Consumed
What we feed our minds shapes our reality.
6. Your Good Time to Bad Time Ratio
Every minute outside our “zone of genius” is wasted.
7. Hugs + High Fives + Handshakes
Connection comes from authentic appreciation.
8. Words Read From Physical Books
Timeless wisdom beats endless scrolling.
9. Days Devoted to Your Dreams
Consistent commitment grants us admission to the impossible.
10. Memories Made
The most valuable gift we can offer: our full presence.
Life isn’t about the destination.
It’s about HOW I travel.
And WHO I travel with.
It turns out: The easiest way to win, is playing by our own rules.
