Episode 275 Adam Witty | Defining Success and Happiness

The only way that you are a success is if you keep growing.” Adam Witty is a world-renowned entrepreneur, author, publisher, and speaker, who has helped numerous entrepreneurs and businesses grow for the benefit of mankind. He stands firmly on the belief that when building a business, you have to define what is happiness. A business should not only provide a good income for yourself and your employees, but it should also provide products and services that add value to the world. The reality of entrepreneurship is that you should have passion and belief in energy for what you do—what your business does. Your motivation should be to help poor people and get your product or service in the hands of more people. Scaling business growth should not be based on money. True entrepreneurs are motivated by their mission. If you are successful, money will follow.
