For the longest time, success has been equal to how much money and property you own, but is that really the end goal? Is that truly what success is all about?

Terry Condon of The Cashflow Co. joins us as we challenge the notion that success can be measured by zeros in your bank account (or how many properties you own, for that matter). 

That’s not to say money isn’t important, but how do we use it as a tool rather than view it as an end in itself? How can we take control?
