A better measure of progress
Success should support your life
You can build a successful business and still discover that the life around it no longer feels like your own. More progress can create more pressure if the direction is never questioned.
North Star creates room to ask a different question: does the life you are building support the person you want to become?

A note from James
The question behind North Star
“I’ve spent years building businesses, investing in property and coaching people through difficult decisions. The North Star Community grew from a question I keep returning to: what is all the success for if it does not support the life around it? I’m building this community while continuing to build my own ideal life too.”
