Have you defined what success means to you as an entrepreneur? Matt Lebris from the Decoding Success podcast joins me today to talk about the TRUTH behind entrepreneurial success!
The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
The underlying theme of my podcast is property investment, success and money, and today I will be talking a bit about success with Mark Creedon, founder of Business Accelerator Mastermind. But this isn't a business show – you will find what we discuss today relevant no matter what you do for a living, and if you are a property investor, you really do you have a business on the side – a property investment business. Many of us chase career titles, money, social status or even a big property portfolio — and yet we don't feel successful when we get those things. That's because you can only measure success in your life when you define what drives your happiness and helps you find purpose. So if you're struggling to define what a successful life means, you'll be pleased to hear Mark and me explain that: It's never too late to start over. You get to write your own definition of success. What is success? Is it wealth? Is it happiness? Is it fame? I have come to the conclusion that success can't be defined in one sentence, but instead, it is comprised of many things. Success is something you have to define for yourself and no one can do it for you. For some success means a sense of giving back to the world and making a difference. For others, it was a sense of accomplishment in their career or business. For others, it meant doing what they love. I bet there will be some people listening to this podcast disappointed in where they are in life at the moment. For some of their progress, we have been hindered by the economic and health challenges Covid has brought to us. For others, there will be various reasons why they haven't achieved the success they want to yet in life - yet. Stick with us because it's not too late and you're not too old to succeed. I'm sure you've heard stories like: At age 23, Oprah had just been fired from her first broadcasting job. At age 62, Colonel Sanders' fried chicken business KFC finally succeeded. At age 77, Nelson Mandela became South Africa's president after spending 27 years in jail. If we can learn anything from these people who succeed later in life, it's this: Success has no deadline. Success means attempting to move forward. Let's start with understanding the difference between accomplishment and success Accomplishment is often associated with success, but it is not the same. Accomplishment refers to the results we desire when we attempt to reach specific goals. Basically, it is the results that we plan or expect to occur. Success is the positive consequence or outcome of an achieved accomplishment. So what is needed to succeed in life? Physical health: you need to be physically healthy to have the energy to engage in life. If you don't have a baseline of health you can't function and can't be successful. Mental fitness: you need to be continuously engaging your mind. Learning and growing, experiencing new ideas, getting better, pursuing mastery, and putting your ideas to work to accomplish your goals. Emotional health: you need to be self-aware emotionally, feel good about yourself and have a positive self-image. If you are depressed to the point where you can't function, you can't be successful. Social health: you need positive relationships in your life and people that love and support you. You have friends and loved ones that you trust to make you a better person and inspire you to be better there are people you can call at any time of the night if you have a problem. Humans are social if you don't have people you care about and they care about you you can't be successful. Purpose/meaning/spiritual health: you make a positive impact in others' lives, giving meaning and purpose to your work and daily life. This keeps you focused and inspires you to overcome the day-to-day struggles and setbacks that are a part of everyone's life. Material wealth: there is a basic level of food shelter and clothing that all people need and that is paid for through money. If you are too poor or have too much stress from struggling financially you can't be successful. Conclusion Many people attribute success to how much money they have, what kind of car they drive, or the size of their home. However, should material items really define success? True success is gained not only from the achievement of our goals but also from the happiness and satisfaction derived from pursuing those goals.

Part I of this podcast series has covered a basic understanding of our mind, with an emphasis on life's essential facts. We have now understood how to build self-belief, grow a healthier subconscious mind, develop the courage to face any situation and finally build solid self-confidence and self-esteem. Part II of this podcast series uses these foundational qualities to cultivate consistent habits. These habits are not difficult to follow but it takes a decent amount of willpower, determination, interest, discipline, and sincerity to develop a new habit. But this is entirely in our control. If you want to add a good habit to your life, you must focus on doing it daily. When you practice a habit regularly, it becomes a part of your everyday routine. The key to victory is maintaining consistency. Part III of this podcast series uses all the previous episodes' learnings and describes the habits that will alleviate stress and help you face any challenging situation. These habits will help you to look at any problem differently and will change your perspective. It also talks about the definition of success and will throw light on how to define success and be successful. This chapter will describe the meaning of success. One of the most important steps to achieving success in life is to know the meaning of success in your personal life. The true meaning of success goes far beyond the standard definitions, such as having a lot of money, having many tangibles, earning degrees, and achieving fame. The true meaning of success is different. Real success in life cannot be measured with the factors mentioned earlier, but it is viewed in terms of the people who can lead a better and more advanced life because of what you have created. That is the meaning of success. We don't grow when things are easy. We grow when we face challenges. Success has a direct connection with action. Successful people keep moving; they make mistakes, but they don't quit. Link for QnA https://tinyurl.com/5ju37nk Bibliography 1. https://www.success.com/ a.

Today, people are digesting content more than they've ever been, and that includes podcasts. In fact, there are about one to two million podcasts out there – but many of which can't get past seven or eight episodes. So, what is the secret to creating this unique platform so you can leverage it to grow your brand or your business? In this episode, Josh Cary and Erik Cabral talk about entrepreneurship, podcasting, producing events, and pivoting business marketing trends. They also share how they've redefined success over the years and what success means to them right at this very moment. Josh and Erik are the co-founders of PodMAX and On Air Brands, a podcast production and media company that provides training and events catered to entrepreneurs who have a meaningful message to share. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: How On Air Brands started Reinventing PodMAX in the face of the pandemic Their definitions of success and how they've redefined it How to get started with creating your own podcast Episode Highlights: Reinventing the PodMAX Event PodMAX started out as a one-day event where entrepreneurs gathered at one time to interview one another on their podcasts shows and platforms. Erik and Josh had to figure out how to fill the day so people are entertained in between recordings. And so, they got a keynote speaker and started leveraging the people they've interviewed on their podcast. During the breaks, the pauses, presentations and keynotes, people were doing business people and building relationships. Now, that was their beta. The real test and the true version of it is the virtual event, which gave them the opportunity to shine in front of hundreds of people. How PodMAX is Reinventing the Podcast World PodMAX is taking some of the greatest podcast hosts around a multitude of subjects and matching them with great guests who have incredible stories to tell. They go through the process of understanding who to connect with and how to create these incredible podcast shows for each of their hosts. They have the ability to mine the talent so people can find the perfect home for their message. Beyond providing the platform, tools, strategies, and the confidence to share their stories, everything they do in service to the community is relationship-based. They get to know every single podcaster – their family, their passions, desires, and goals in life. They're not just a faceless corporation. What Does Success Mean to You? Don't focus on how much you're going to make, but on what you're going to become as a result. For both Josh and Erik, success to them means waking up happy everyday. How to Get Started with Creating Your Own Podcast Get your mind right. You have to do whatever it takes and it begins with this foundation of getting your mind right at any cost. Have the right goals and go in with the right expectations. Everyone's goals are different. And everyone's expectations are different. There are about one or two million podcasts but there's a lot that can't get past seven or eight episodes. Once you get past those hurdles, just imagine what you're going to become, the relationships you're going to build, and who you're going to meet.

If you feel that you’re leaving behind a trail you don’t necessarily want to call your own, then take a deep breath of total acceptance, and trust that you're exactly where you're supposed to be in your life. Release the tension of disappointment, regret, and should that may have begun raising a critical voice. Know that your entire life has been preparing you for this moment—whether it’s a moment of realization, reflection, or celebration. Pat yourself on the back for having made it thus far, and plan how you will journey forward. How will you structure your days to move incrementally toward your highest vision?
