Don’t measure success by just material things

One topic of conversation that always comes up when I spend time chatting with fellow women entrepreneurs is defining what success looks like - and everyone has their own opinion and way of measuring that success. For some, success means having the financial freedom to be able to stay creative, innovative, to take risks. For others, success is about being able to build a business and a legacy that can take care of family and community for years to come. But one thing that many women I talk to seem to agree on when it comes to defining success is that it cannot be measured simply by materials things - such as the size of your bank balance, or the car that is parked in your driveway, or the number of overseas holidays you are able to take each year. Instead, they see success as being measured by the impact they can make in the world, by being able to lead by example and make a difference, by inspiring other young women who come after them. So, how do you measure your success as an entrepreneur?
