The Silent Cost of Success Nobody Talks About
Written by Jim Vickers

Meet Dave (not his real name)—the DEFINITION of executive achievement:

  • Elite airline status
  • Platinum status at every luxury hotel chain
  • Mid-six-figure income

Reality check: 67% of top executives report being trapped in “golden handcuffs” while their real lives slip away.

Caught in the ultimate success trap:

  • Making money BUT missing memories
  • Crushing targets BUT crushing family time
  • “Living the dream” BUT living in airports

Then came the news that changed everything…

His son’s best friend’s dad had died of a heart attack.

Far too young… a wake-up call nobody wants.

Suddenly, reality looked different. Dave realized he was losing:

  • His children’s childhood—one video replay at a time
  • His marriage to an empty chair at dinner
  • His life to an endless stream of “important” meetings

That night, watching another one of his son’s game on video, it hit him: “I either take control of my future, or my future controls me.”

Yes, income matters. But trading your entire life/dreams to make that income? There are different paths…

Here’s the brutal truth:

You’re either designing your own future now… or waiting for life to force a future you never wanted.

Which are you choosing?

You don’t want to end up like Dave. Message me.
