#102 Setting Goals vs. Defining Success for Entrepreneurs
Manage episode 432668527 series 3591279
Success and goals are not synonymous. It might sound odd, but achieving your goal cannot become your definition of success. Unless you separate the two as an entrepreneur, you run the risk of failing or, even worse, feeling empty inside.
In this episode, we cut through all the noise and tackle the stark differences between setting goals and defining success as an entrepreneur. Being bold in setting and chasing your goals is crucial, but hitching your success to them is a perilous path.
I’m Devon Dickinson. I've been married for 25 years and have a family of 6. I've founded, bought, sold, and sometimes failed with 10 different companies. As an individual entrepreneur, my companies have been on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list longer than any other individual. I enjoy investing in real estate and I've coached soccer for the last 6 years; which seems to be what keeps me up at night. Although I now own several multimillion-dollar companies, I only started with $5,000 and a credit card. Before we get started, I should warn you that this is all true... I don't know the easy way in anything I only know “the hard way”. I want to help you avoid learning the hard way (where you can) through straightforward advice that will fuel the entrepreneur in ALL OF US!
