What does self-driven mean to me? So, self-driven is, to me, it's the realization that I am the sole determiner of my own success. That 100% of my own thoughts, actions, inactions, and the consequences of all those are entirely my responsibility for which no one else is accountable. And to me, self-driven means proactive. My own life is a reflection of what I have done or what I have failed to do. And to me, self-driven means that I am the CEO of my own life and the captain of my own ship. And the quarterly balance sheet and the destination of this ship are entirely up to me.
