It’s recognizing those falls, standing back up, dusting yourself back off and having the courage, tenacity, and most importantly the motivation to look for the arrows in life leading you to the next destination and/or journey...That’s what success is to me!

Most of the time its all about the journey. Keeping a positive attitude towards your life, keeping a balanced life, being contented with what you have - that for me is success.

It is important to have goals that drive you to the destination. For example, one of my goals was the produce my book. However, after my book was complete it was anti-climatic. This is why it is important that you guage success along the journey. You must enjoy what you do. Mike Hi All;

I don't have any employees and I work from a home-based office, but I measure success by the ability to choose who I work for and how many days vacation I want to take; in short, the freedom to make many of my own choices.

This is something I've found very hard to define for myself. Since starting my business eight years ago, I defined success by my bottom line. But this has never felt right -- mostly because most of us are never happy with our bottom line, no matter how good it is. After months of introspection, I am now defining success this way: "Living a balanced, happy, and financially secure life with my family." Mike,
