I am absolutely happy, but I’m not sure I’m satisfied, if that makes sense, but I think that is just my personality and the personality of entrepreneurs in general.
I always say (and know it to be true) that your first business is always the hardest to build and your first million is always the hardest to make. Why? Because you don’t know how and you are learning “how.”
Once you do learn “how” … the next business and the next million are far easier to build and to make.
In general, success is a journey, not a destination – and while that may sound like a cliché, I’ve found it to be true. There have been many “bumps” in my road, but early on I adopted the mindset that I would take my failures as learnings and do what it took to be my best in every situation.
“Surviving” success I think simply means staying on course and being true to what you want out of life. Having wealth and resources means you have a lot more choices – and while some people may make poor choices, the people I’ve met who are super-successful are very well-grounded in their values and their vision for their lives and how they can positively impact the lives of others. They maintain their positive values and optimistic outlook – no matter how much money they have.
