Business Owner? What’s your ‘£’ number?

How are you defining success? Is success a financial destination or is it living the life you want and being who you want to be for as long as you can?
It could be argued financial security is a destination but sustaining it is a journey, a tough journey that many do not manage well. I’m sure many of you know of those who once had millions and now have not very much left, we make mistakes, we are taken advantage of, we chase returns we do not need, we lose focus on what our short life is about and before we know it we are ‘old’.
Let’s say you’re 50 years old, in 240 months’ time you will be 70!

Why is that?
