DeepSummary
In this episode, Sim and Maiya discuss the concept of success and how their definition of it has evolved as their businesses have grown. Maiya initially viewed success as a side project that would provide creativity, impact, community building, and a modest income boost. However, as Girls That Invest grew rapidly, her idea of success shifted to superficial metrics like awards, social media followers, and revenue targets.
Eventually, Maiya realized that true success for her lies in creating positive change, having flexibility in her schedule, and seeing the tangible impact her work has on women's lives through reviews and messages. Sim also resonates with this mindset, defining success as helping people lead healthier lifestyles, supporting her family, and finding fulfillment in her work.
They emphasize the importance of redefining success based on personal values and ethics, rather than solely focusing on vanity metrics or revenue. The episode encourages listeners to reflect on their own definitions of success and align their goals accordingly.
