I'm Paul Alex, and today we're to be cutting through the noise to talk about something real. Why success is not defined by popularity. In today's world, it's easy to confuse likes, followers, or fame with actual success.

So let me tell you something, success isn't about being known, it's about being impactful. So let's break it down. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel, officialpaulalex.com for more motivational episodes. First, popularity doesn't pay the bills, but results do. You can have all the followers in the world, but if you're not delivering value or building something meaningful, it's just vanity guys. When I started my first business,

I wasn't worried about being popular. I was more focused on creating systems that produce real results. Popularity might get attention and results earn respect. But look, second thing, success is about impact, not applause. The most successful people I know aren't chasing clout guys. They're actually solving problems. They're building legacies and they're making a difference.

Whether it's for your clients, your team or your family, the true measure of success is the value you are bringing. Chasing popularity is a distraction from creating impact. And lastly, popularity is fleeting guys, but success is built to last. Trends come and go, but a solid foundation, strong relationships, and consistent effort will outlast any viral moment.

You gotta focus on building something that stands the test of time, not just the attention for the moment. Real success isn't loud, it's actually steady. Bottom line here, success isn't about being liked, it's about being respected. It's about the work you put in, the impact you create, and the lives you change. Popularity is temporary, but real success is timeless. Thanks for tuning in to Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex reminding you that don't chase applause,
