Whether I was interviewing with a marketing agency, photography studio, or music studio, I wanted to understand what they’d be looking out for within the first year of employment.

Now that I’m unlocking alternative streams of income — developing my own writing studio — I’m the only person I can ask.

“One year from now, how will I know I was successful?”

My path is focused, yet, flexible. All I can say right now is this:

If by December of next year I’ve experimented, formed connections, and trusted myself in ways that the old me would’ve resisted, then I was 100% successful.

Whether you work for yourself or answer to a boss (or a mix of both), maybe you can spend some time with this question:

How do I measure success within myself?
