#1180 - 2 Main Criteria of Success

#1180 - Success is sweet—but only if it’s on your terms. In this episode of The BIGG Success Show, George & Mary-Lynn explore a classic analogy from "Success Is Within You" by Howard Jay Whitman: the ice cream soda and the straw. What does it have to do with how you define success? Everything. One represents what others think of your achievements. The other is how you feel about them.

Tune in to discover why your own definition of success is not just nice—it’s necessary. You’ll also walk away with key questions to help you define success your way.
