Summary

Shopify: Start your $1/month trial at Shopify.com/trent HEY REHABBERS, Let’s have a real conversation today… most people aren’t failing in life, they’re just unfocused. They’re moving fast, grinding hard, but going in the wrong direction. And that’s why they feel stuck, frustrated, and exhausted. In this episode, I’m breaking down how unclear success will have you chasing things that don’t even matter. You’re collecting empty wins, wasting time, and wondering why it still feels like you’re not getting anywhere. Clarity is power. When you don’t define what success truly looks like for your life, you’ll keep living on autopilot, saying yes to things that drain you and no to things that actually grow you. It’s time to sharpen your focus. Protect your time. Get disciplined about your direction. Because real progress isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what matters most. Let’s stop running in circles… and start building a life that actually feels like purpose, peace, and progress. It All Starts With You

truth, even when it's going to pierce your heart. This is me, Trent Shelton, straight up. really get clear on how you define success in failure. Like I threw away the analytics or

0:52.5

the numbers tied to that or the metrics is a better word tied to that and so

0:56.8

success to me it's not a metric anymore it's not oh i got to make this amount of money i got to

1:02.8

be here in this position at at my job or this title in the world or i got to have this thing

1:09.0

tied to my name it's no longer a metric because I know

1:12.8

this like the metric will never be enough. Like it will never be enough because once you get to

1:17.3

another level, it's like, okay, well, I'm not at the level that I see somebody else at. So I must

not be doing enough. Let me get to that level. And we have this spirit of never being satisfied.

get clear on what your enough is and your enough should be this, well, this is my enough.

1:33.5

My metric of success, well, I don't have a metric of it. It's a mindset towards success, right?

1:39.4

My mindset towards success is simply this. Like how I judge success and failure is did I give my all to it?
