This document discusses the metaphor of wearing a "Success or Bust" sign on one's back during their journey to financial freedom. It warns that pursuing success in a way that costs too much money, time or relationships without progress is unsustainable. The example is given of a woman who wasted 5 years building her business the wrong way before implementing strategies that actually worked and allowed her business to thrive. The document suggests stopping unproductive behaviors and pursuing success through joyful work and a progressively improving path rather than an all-or-nothing approach.
