Success Defined

You only have one life. My goal in this book is to show you how you can design and live your best possible life.

The subtitle of this book is “The Young Adult’s Complete Guide to Personal and Financial Success.”

The best place for us to start is to establish how we are going to define success. These definitions are very important, as they are the cornerstones for everything else that follows.

In this book, our definition for personal success is:

Making progress towards building a life, based on your personal values and passions.

Our definition for financial success is:

Experiencing financial peace in the present and making progress towards financial freedom.

We need to break down these definitions in order to fully understand them.

Let's start with personal success. This definition refers to a life built on personal values and passions. These words, especially values, are used in many different ways and can have many meanings. . .

So, we clearly see that personal and financial success, as we have defined them, go hand-in-hand. By our definition, it would be very difficult to have personal success if your finances are a mess, and it won't do you much good if you are able to make a lot of money if your personal life is a mess. Therefore, it is extremely important that you understand money and finance so you can use it as a tool to build the life you want.
