https://faithfulontheclock.captivate.fm/episode/5-myths-about-success
You’ve probably heard a ton of stuff about success, and a lot of it is pure myth. In Episode 47, Faithful on the Clock decodes the five biggest success myths and presents their countertruths.
Timestamps:
[00:05] - Intro
[00:36] - Success is not tied to rank, but rather is a matter of whether you’re doing your absolute best and are happy about where you’re at.
[01:55] - The story of Saul and David, as well as the entire list of the kings of Israel in the Old Testament, shows that you can have rank and still fail.
[03:03] - Success doesn’t have a clear definition, but because we’re all different people, what satisfies one person isn’t going to necessarily satisfy someone else. You should take time to reflect on what makes you feel good and how God might allow you to use that to serve Him.
[04:26] - Success isn’t defined in a static way over time, but rather evolves as you learn and grow. The key as your definition of success changes is to avoid comparison, stay internally motivated, and be God-focused.
[06:09] - Success often isn’t achievable alone, but rather requires lots of support from many people. My own career is a demonstration that grit and skill don’t always win, as I am where I am thanks to others helping me.
[07:42] - Successful people don’t proceed at all costs, but rather quit for the right reasons at the right time. Serial entrepreneurs, investors, and people who leave for better positions all demonstrate that taking an exit or letting go can be incredibly smart and lead to bigger wins.
