What exactly defines success? Your income? The size of your home? The value of your 401k? While all of these things may be a side effect of living a successful life, they do not define it.
In the second part of the Tim Dunn Series, Tim and Ken discuss work ethic, mindset, and mentality and how they relate to and determine success.
“The main thing a great leader does in any organization is they focus on building structures. Structure determines behavior and is anything that is a series of obstacles that creates a path of least resistance. Make a plan and hold it with open hands. Say ‘if the Lord wills, I am going to do this…’” - Tim Dunn
“And people tend to say, you're successful because you have a certain amount of worth, value, or income, but all that can be gone tomorrow… Success is really taking the right approach to life.” - Tim Dunn
Tim Dunn is the co-founder and CEO of CrownQuest Operating. He is also the author of Yellow Balloons: Power for Living Life Above the Circumstances. In addition to his writing and business accolades, Tim co-founded Midland Classical Academy in 1998, a non-profit, K-12 learning institution.

“We can be thankful in all things that God hasnt forsaken us… Im not sure Im in a position to say, ‘Lord, I just thank you for giving me this horrible COVID experience.’ But Im thankful that he hasnt forsaken me. Hes given me a new appreciation of my family. A new appreciation of prayer, a new appreciation of humility.” - Gene Getz
“Anywhere in the world that you go – the heart of Africa, to the heart of India, to the heart of China, the qualities [in The Measure of a Man] are a reflection of Jesus Christ. And thats why its never gone out of print, because those qualities are super cultural.” - Gene Getz
