Sharing A Win..What does Success Look Like TO YOU?

This week was great. I wanted to share a win with you the devoted readers.

I got invited by my 4 year old(Gianna) to Daddy Daughter Luncheon at her school Wednesday.

I cleared my entire schedule from 10:30-12:30 to be able to spend about 30 minutes with her. The little chairs in her class were wayyy too low for me to go. I found a nice lunch spot against the wall.

I believe these moments last a lifetime in the memory bank for both of us. The monetary bank can take a back seat for a little. I consider this a win for multiple reasons:

1. I have the flexibility to be able to do what I like, when I like to do it. 
2. I have freedom from a time clock. 
3. Freedom from a cubicle or driving to the same place everyday.
4. Spending meaningful time with my daughter and family.
5. Disconnecting from the phone or email to relax.
6. The list goes on......

I would like you to notice that none of these are monetary successes. 

I think too many contractors get caught up in looking at success by the dollars in the bank account. If that's the case, I would advise you to reevaluate how you look at success. I decide to slow down and start taking it all in about a year ago and shifting what I considered a win to what matters.

At this luncheon there were 9 children who's parents couldn't make the luncheon. The children were put at a table together. While the other children who had parents got to hang out around the room and eat lunch together. Seeing the small children with no family was heartbreaking. I wanted to take at least 2 of the 9 or was hoping the teacher might buddy them up with other families. Didn't happen.

Share your WIN with me or give a thumbs up?
