Progress and happiness

If it grows your business or makes lots of money…

…but it causes ongoing stress for and your family…

…is it really progress?

Quandries like this are created every day. Entrepreneurs who hustled themselves into a hole. Talented individuals who build rods for their own backs. This happens because they didn’t realise that progress and happiness are subjective, not objective.

What is progress and happiness for someone else may not look like progress or happiness for you. And that’s okay. We’re all different, we all want slightly different lives. Be sure to define what they mean for you before you risk doing more harm than good.
