Duct Tape Marketing: What’s your definition of success?

  • Mike · 2 years ago
    John,
    Interesting question. One that I have been thinking about lately. And one that has changed for me as well. I used to think of success in terms of power and money, however I have re-defined it as time and freedom. I am looking at money as more of a vehicle than a possession. And I'm tired of trading 50-60 quality hours per week for it as well.

    You have come up with a great definition of success John. It falls right in line with what Earl Nightingale taught about success being a journey!

    Success is definitely a personal thing, meaning something quite unique to each individual.

    Dottie Walters said, "Success is a staircase, not a doorway."

    I blogged about this in August, so I'll quote myself: "This quote reminds me that each step I take brings me a little closer to my goals. And that each step is an achievement in itself."

    I don't need external approval or acknowledgment any more to feel successful; I got over that a long time ago.

    At the end of the day the most successful person is the one who spends the most time doing what they love and being around the people that they love.

    Setting practical goals and milestones definitely helps an business feel successful. Like the death of the "Under Construction" image on websites, entrepreneurs should recognize the need to constantly improve while embracing the current small successes of their businesses.
