I’ve been reflecting on what success really means when it comes to investing. On one hand, there’s the obvious metric growing your portfolio and seeing those numbers climb. It’s tangible, measurable, and gives a clear sense of progress. But lately, I’ve been wondering if there’s more to it. What about the impact our investments have on the world? Whether it’s supporting sustainable businesses, funding innovative startups, or contributing to community projects, the ripples we create can feel just as meaningful.
As someone who’s used to thinking in terms of clear outcomes (thanks to my day job), I’m curious how others balance these two perspectives. Do you prioritize financial growth, or do you lean toward investments that align with your values and create positive change? Or is there a way to do both effectively? I’d love to hear how you define success in your own investing journey.
