Definition of Success / What do you want to achieve?
           
The American Heritage Dictionary defines success as the achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted. Success can also mean the identification of personal goals and achieving the desired result.

The multitude of definitions that success has points to the fact that success means different things to different people. To some success may signify the amount of money they make. Having a nice car loaded with all the modern widgets may be an indicator of their place in the food chain. However, material possessions may not mean success to some individuals. For others, living a simple life surrounded by loving friends and family equates to success.

Sometimes success is measured by milestones. These are not the literal milestones of the highway but rather the smaller goals that you set on the way to the bigger goal of your final destination. In setting up a business say you set a goal within your goal of starting a restaurant, finding a good location first would be a good milestone.

Definition of Success / How Do I Know If I Am Successful?

For the small business owner and entrepreneur, success can be measured in financial terms. There is a good chance the main reason that you are in business in the first place is financial. Milestones can be set that will measure how far along you are in your journey toward operating a truly successful business. Small steps lead the way to ultimate success. A healthy bottom line in your business would be the most tangible indicator of what you are striving to achieve.

There are other more intangible indicators of what success is. Reputation and your good name are good examples of intangible success indicators. To live the highest characteristics of an exceptional entrepreneur (walk the talk) is intangible yet is easily turned into sales, which will directly affect the bottom line.

Another more intangible indicator is your happiness factor. You can have all the material successes that you ever dreamt of but the question remains are you happy in your work environment? Albert Schweitzer once said the “success is not the key to happiness but rather happiness is the key to success”. If you are happy in doing what you do then it won’t be a burden to work hard, it will instead be a pleasure.

Definition of Success / What Then Is The Ultimate Measure of Success?

Often the line between success and failure is indistinct. There are those who have failed but continue with their various endeavors and so ultimately gain the rewards of success. There are also those who seemed to have succeeded but they are so self-centered and egotistical that they are doomed to fail because of their overblown hubris.

There are also measures of success that are not based on personal achievement, material wealth, or social status but rather on measures of moral values and personal conscience. Some individuals give up very lucrative careers to devote themselves to causes which they believe in, giving them a feeling of freedom and fulfillment. Are these people failures?


Definition of Success / A Work in Progress

There are those who are worth billions of dollars in personal assets but are universally despised. Are they regarded as successes? Success is not and cannot be an absolute. It is only the existence of conscience and the ability to make moral judgments that is within us that is the biggest measurement of success.
