So we all want to be successful right? You can define "success" on the terms of what you value and what is important to you. You may want to be successful in your business, your family, your marriage, your health, your finances. Whatever it is, success is important. It's important to feel the desire to be successful in life. Success isn't necessarily defined as wealth, although that can be a part of success. Success is measured for you by what is important to you. Once you know what is important, the next step is to figure out what it means to be successful in what is important to you. Finally, you need to write down your findings and keep a "vision" in front of you of what you would like to become.

Like I said, success is not measured by any one particular thing. Success is very dependent upon what you value. For instance, the businessman who makes millions of dollars, would that make you think "He's successful". Or maybe the husband and wife who make it to their 50th wedding anniversary, would you call that successful? It all depends upon your perspective of success. A single person who doesn't value marriage may say to live with one person for 50 years is not a success! I would disagree, but some people may have that perspective if their values are different. Someone who doesn't value financial success might say the business man wasted his time working to earn his success in finances. I believe one of the very first steps to success is to define what you value. This step is essential because until you know what you value, you will have no way to measure your success. You will basically be spitting at the wind and "hoping" you are doing the right thing. Once you have your values established, you can define what it means to be successful in your life.
