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.
