What do you consider success? Wealth?
Is it numbers? $100 a day? $400 a day? $1000 a day?
Is it owning one home or two? IN your words, what is success? |
Doing what you want, when you want to do it. Not answering to anyone. Lot's of money isn't the key. Having total control of your life is.

Freedom.

i took a year off from work a few years back and it was awesome, luckily now with mobile giving us such advances we can manage more things away from desk. I love checking my emails at the park while my lil girl runs around on the playset... these times are not only precious, many miss out on them entirely because they are stuck in an office at a desk. being able to work whenever i want and spend all day with my family is most important thing in life. |
Health..

bills paid, the ablitly to help people...

To tell you the truth, I've never really ever thought about it.

Being good at what you do ... |
Achieving my goals = success for me.
|
Today's society measures success by wealth, or money earned.
:2 cents: |
moving out of america before the shit gets too thick. oh wait..
|
You do not want it to be an end game. It is a constant journey.

On the surface I'd say taking a hobby that literally started on a shoe-string budget and making a six-figure income with it by the fourth year.
But in actuality...the real success was simply being my own boss during the process, not answering to anyone. Making my own mistakes and learning by them. Proving naysayers wrong along the way. |

People are way to focus on personal success, we have neighbors and a planet that we should all think more about.

That is is you are talking financial wealth..
Personal wealth is different for everyone. Personally I value health and happiness well over cash at this stage in my life |
anything that makes any profit is success
|
A lack of things within my control to worry about is success to me.
I send my neighbors to Jman :) |

Live, love, serve. Financially, it's simply about not worrying, to me, about having enough to pay the mortgage on our modest home without stress. I'd much rather have a paid off used car than a new Lexus and a $40,000 balance due that I'm worried about.

Being in a position where I can move out to nowheresville to be a fisherman and shit like that... living in a house on a hill overlooking the ocean with a nice track leading down to the water, owning a little boat & beatup pickup truck that still works great, growing my own fruit & veg, tending to chickens, shit like that. If I have a wife and a couple of daughters, then even better. If not, at least I have my right hand... or left hand if some shit goes wrong with the fishing gig.
Funny thing is that it takes money, real money, to no longer be concerned about money. Another alternative is Xanax. But then again Xanax is not free. Reality is a fucking bitch. Another 10 years. He who dares, Rodders, he who dares. :2 cents: |
success = money / power / fame
that's pretty much it, name one successful person that proves me wrong what you value most - well, that's completely different story |
i know for me, it was to be able to afford waterfront property...

Health is the starting point but humans need more than good health to feel happy and successful. Of course when you're seriously ill your perspective changes and good health alone can make you happy - but that won't last forever.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Money most definitely doesn't buy happiness, often seems to buy misery. |

but there is loads of successful people, Olympic Medal winners come to mind, who aren't particularly rich or famous, I'd call their achievement a "success" over some random Z list celeb or rich guy any day. |
