25 of the Best Business Quotes About Success

0 Comments

 
Success
What is success? Success is a very relative term. The text book definition is “the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors; the accomplishment of one’s goals.” We all have different things that we would like to accomplish in our lives, and therefore, success is something that you need to define for yourself.

Many times we equate it to money. Ted Turner once said “Life is a game. Money is how we keep score.” Does that mean that those with the most money are the only successful people? Absolutely not.

For me, success is doing what I want, when I want, where I want, with whom I want, as much as I want. Ok, so Tony Robbins said that, but I feel the exact same way. In other words, success is the ability to spend my life in my own way.

This sounds like selfish thought, but it doesn’t have to be. If you have a family, maybe you want to be able to spend as much time with your children or your spouse without your job telling you when you can and can’t do that. Or maybe you’re single, and want to be able to travel the world whenever you feel like it without having to worry about how much vacation time you have left.

What would make you successful? Is it money? Freedom? A certain job?
