This part sounds easy enough. A lot of organizations turn out to be this way, intended or not!

I think many people define success as having a lot money. Personally I think having a lot of money is overrated. As long as I'm financially stable/comfortable, anything else is excess. Half the stuff we buy or want we don't need anyway. LOL Not that I'm complaining, but I just have a different perspective on money now that I have more of it.

Success is very multifaceted in my eyes. I define it as being at peace with the journey you're on in life no matter where you are, staying open to self growth (we are always evolving), being able to help those in need (I love paying it forward) and finding a good balance between your personal and business life. All the money in the world can't take the place of family and friends.

I have had no money, had a little bit, had more and had a lot...These days, we are on a limited income...a little bit, lol! I can say that when we had lots of money, we weren't necessarily happier..What we were, was more comfortable, able to buy the toys we wanted and do some things we had never done before...Did it make us happier as a family. No. For a time, it made life more enjoyabale, more comfortable, but not happier.

These days, we have little income, but have four wonderful grandchildren. Are we happier? Yes! Are we more comfortable, or able to buy things we want vs those that we need...No...We could use more money, we could use an easier life, but...are we happier...Yes we are!

In the end, it's all what you make of your situation. I know a few very well off people who are very unhappy.

Well those people are unhappy is because they don't have a meaning for living! they aren't motivated to be something other than wealthy in the material sense!

Success is coming to this world crying when everyone else is smiling and leaving this world smiling when everyone else is crying.

I think success for me is being worry free and comfortable. Not having to live pay check to pay check. Is successful for me because money does make the world go round after all. But it's not everything.

Before I jumped into doing business on the internet I made a long list of things I wanted to accomplish, thought about the type of lifestyle I wanted to have and defined what my fulfilling purpose was.

The end result came as a surprise to me. When I looked at all the things that I really wanted to do I discovered the monetary figure I needed to reach to get me there was much smaller than I had first imagined.

Success for me would be living the lifestyle I imagined, having the freedom to do the things I enjoy doing, always learning, always loving.

Success is a state of being, a feeling of contentment. It's based on what you feel, not what you earn. If you're happy with what you're doing, then you're successful.

Hi,

Gaining success in the every field of life is desire of everyone. But there are some levels at which the person thinks that he have achieved the success. The targets of person in his life which he/she have perceived, For gaining these targets a person works hard. If he/she do achieve these targets they got satisfy and think they have successed in their life. Actually when a person gets satisfied in his/her life he/she becomes the successful in his/her life.
