“Here we go!” Markus says as he stretches to get ready for another day on the job.
Markus is a Stock Broker and a very good one at that.
He got this job because it was the most straight-forward path to success.
Markus was made for this job, as was his dad and his dad before.
In a year Markus now makes close to 8 figures. He is loved at his job, respected by his coworkers, and gets to do everything he wants outside of work.
He eats at the best restaurants, travels first-class to the most desirable vacation spots and has experienced just about everything the world has to offer.
His home is a mansion filled with employees that attend his every whim, his family is one anyone would love to present to their friends and he even succeeds at the sports he does.
Markus has it all.
For 15 years Markus remains at the top of his company and his income just keeps increasing.
But, as his fame, status, success and income increases his happiness does not.
He has everything he wanted, but somehow he’s still not happy and doubts he ever will be.
These doubts appear time and time again over the years, but he usually brushes them…
