The Wednesday Play: Redefine Success

In partnership with

Hi Playmakers,

When I was growing up, success looked pretty straightforward.

You got a stable job, bought a modest home, drove a reliable car, and saved for a two-week vacation once a year. If you were really lucky, maybe you got a boat, paid off your mortgage early, and had enough leftover for a college fund for the kids.

In my head, the secret number to achieve that was a crisp $100,000.

“If I could just grow and make $100,000 one day, I’d have it made,” I used to think to myself.

It wasn’t glamorous, but it was safe and achievable.

That version of the “good life” is dying.
