Welcome to the One True Measure community! If you’re reading this, you’re now part of our team. Our mission is simple: to build a community of like-minded people, people connected by the journey to be better each day and build better measures of success in their lives.
Speaking of success, why is success so important or relevant? What I can say is that your success, how you look at it and measure it, impacts every part of your life.
Have you ever considered what your measure of success is? Have you ever considered how this measure impacts your life?
Here is the thing: our relationship with success is at a crossroads. At a societal level, our measure of success is not only flawed but also not fit for purpose.
As humans, one of the clear common themes is that we all want to be successful in life. The problem is that success has been hijacked at a societal level, with the way we measure success being defined in terms of what we call the 3M of success - Money, Material possessions and your Mode or your career or business card and therefore mode through life.
The 3M quietly dictates to you how you judge yourself, how you compare with others, and whether you feel like your life “measures up.”
This creates a huge problem that impacts our wider society and you and me at an individual level. This shows up as low-grade day-to-day dissatisfaction, or something much bigger: the risk of spending your life chasing a measure of success that was never truly your own.
The antidote, One True Measure, both a philosophy for understanding yourself more deeply and, over time, what success means to you. It’s also a practical framework and a set of tools shaped by my own hard-fought lessons of the last twenty years. I’ve wrestled with my own ideas about success, and I’ve watched countless others do the same throughout my career and travels across the globe.
What the One True Measure advocates for is accepting that success is a process, and it’s a journey to build something truly great and truly your own.
Building is a key part of what we stand for as a community - to build is hard, it requires focus, attention, commitment, and most importantly, the courage to act. We are here to learn, and we are here to build.
Please join us on the journey to build our community to build yourself up to a better life and build your own One True Measure of success.
