RTL 03: Relationship To Success: Success vs. Failure, Destination & Journey

In this next episode, I explore our relationship to success — success vs. failure, money & meaning.

I address questions such as:

  • How and when did your relationship to success begin?
  • What is/What does it mean success? How do you define it? Where do our ideas of success come from? How does one become successful?
  • What’s does a healthy and unhealthy relationship to/with success look like?
  • What are your old beliefs about success? What do you know to be true?
  • What’s enough success?  What is too little success?
  • What other relationships does it affect?
