How to choose a stopping point?

I read a good blog via bp email regarding the fact that is bigger better? I got that the same time my friend sent me a pod cast on the importance of choosing a stopping point in growth.  This has caused much thought for me. I started my rei business less than 2 years ago with a solid plan for things I was to accomplish in the next 10 years.  Here I sit at 16 months Later and I'm half way to my 10 year goal! It has grown soooooo much faster than I ever expected it to.   I'm a very goal oriented person so setting a new goal as soon as this one is reached isn't a problem.  However I'm having a huge problem seeing the end.  My mind is set on growth and I have put very little thought into what I'm growing into.  I have no plans of stopping any time soon but have decided that it's important to have an ultimate end goal. 

How does one decide that they have done enough?

As you climb the success ladder, your goals will change.  For me, its not about the money, but about the thrill of the next deal, and what you can do for others and leaving a legacy.  I'll stop the first time I wake up in the morning with a toe tag on... :-)
