What is "success"?

[Derrick W.]

There are many awesome stories on here.  My question is how do you know when you have made it? My realtor asked me how many houses I wanted, My answer was "more".  how does one go about picking a target number and being content when it is reached?

@Derrick W.,

My perspective is a bit different. Here's what I believe:

If success were a destination, you'd get there and then ask, "Ok, what now? What's next?"

To me, success is not a destination and failure is not an event. Success is a process, failure is a choice.

You set a goal. You take action toward it. You observe what's working and what isn't. You change your approach and take action again. You keep repeating this "success cycle" until you achieve your target goal. Then, you set a new goal and continue the cycle.

The only way to fail, then, is to consciously choose to stop repeating they "success cycle". You don't fail until you choose to quit.

So, now that you know you cannot fail until you choose to, what WILL you do?
