A little introspection...
To me, being successful means...
Setting long term goals and accomplishing those goals, regardless of what they are.
My definition of success has changed over time.
I used to think the goal was making a million dollars. Then I realized that not everyone can make a social media platform.
My greatest accomplishment to date and what I’ve learned from it
Graduating from law school. I was never the smartest but I worked the hardest. I controlled the things I could and worked my tail off.
My biggest mistake or regret so far and what I’ve learned from it
Not using the tools available to me when I needed them most. Look around for help and you'll find it. Try to get through things yourself and you'll either fail or tire yourself out completing the goal.
