An excellent and thought provoking article. For me, this is what i want: Getting enough money to be able pay my way in life – without stress and to able to afford a quite a number of luxuries here and there. I will know that I am successful when I reach this “status”

I appreciate all the comments here. I have this perhaps provocative idea that if anyone finds it easy to know what any kind of business success means to them it may be time to probe a bit more. And maybe get a friend or a coach to ask some challenging questions. Too often, people get what they thought they wanted and are still not happy, pursuing perhaps someone else’s concept of success. In my coaching I like to help people achieve the financial/sales/growth/whatever targets they have set for their business and at the end of the day still have their kids talking to them, their old friends wanting to catch up and their spouse still in love with them. And as Bob says, having a sense that the business is making a positive difference in the lives of others.

A very good and thought-provoking article, Des.

Yes, every home business owner needs to think about the questions you pose. For me, I guess I’ll know that I’m successful when: 1) I’ve achieved the financial freedom to do with my day as I please with no financial worries, 2) I feel good that the business(es) that I am running makes a positive difference in people’s lives.

I believe we are programed to believe success and money go hand in hand. This is not necessarily true, in my humble opinion.

Sure we all want to be financially secure, but success is more than that. I believe if I am able to help someone else along the way, then I am successful. If I can influence one person to build a better life for her or himself, then I am successful. The list could go on and on……

This is easy. I already got what I want:)
The only thing I want is:

1) getting enough money to be able pay my way in life and to afford a few little extras.

2) achieving the above without having to sacrifice my freedom and dignity

3) achieving the above solidly, meaning there’s no chance I’ll ever “lose my job”

4) achieving the above having fun and working from home when I want

5) Building residual income, meaning I do the work once and if it is well done I keep on getting paid over and over again.

there’s more but I have run out of time
good luck Wendy and keep on writing informative posts!
