4. HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS?
There is no right and wrong about defining success, but
for me, it is an on-going process: a life-time process of
setting goals that gives you the sense of contentment and
happiness once these goals are achieved or exceeded.
Do it by way of being a monk, a top real estate agent, a
humanitarian activist, or even being a father of a happy
family. So, your success is not defined by the size of your
goal nor by how ambitious it is. What defines your success
is your consistency in reaching or exceeding your own
goals that lead to your self-contentment and joy in life.
5. WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT?
I am passionate about raising and living with my loving and
supportive family, managing the business that I worked
hard for, and enjoying the sports that I find exciting.
6. WHO AND WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?
I believe that being motivated is a responsibility that
every individual has to live up to. I always say: if you don’t
figure it out by yourself, no one will figure it out for you.
Every one of us can be motivated by different things, and
we have to figure out these things and then take actions
to own them. Nevertheless, there is one thing to do with
motivation that applies to all of us: it is our surroundings
and the people we decide to spend most of our time
with.
7. “MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO
ROUND.” TO WHAT EXTENT DO YOU AGREE
WITH THIS QUOTE?
Money is very important, but only because it is a necessity
and not an end-goal or purpose. When our aim is to deploy
whoever we got to succeed in our business, money will
be just one of the natural results of winning in business.
You will, maybe, never see a successful businessman who
is running a successful business but is bankrupt.
8. WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST LIFE LESSONS
YOU’VE LEARNED FROM BEING AN
ENTREPRENEUR?
Hard work is a must, and smart work is just common
sense because no one decides to work mindless today
and smart tomorrow. It is not a decision that people make
before they start their day. But hard work, perseverance
and consistency requires a firm rational decision.
