Success..... Begins and Ends With You!

Success is a word that is much used in our society. We probably hear it at least once each day, especially in commercials. It could be said that many of us are spending so much time concerned about success that we do not set things in motion to achieve our own success. One thing is apparent to me, and that is that each individual must determine what success means in their own lives. Those who go through life trying to achieve so-called success by someone's standards or byrepparttar advertising industry's standards will always fall short of feeling successful.

Most modern dictionaries define success as a degree or measure of achievement or as a favorable or desired outcome. You must decide what you want that favorable or desirable outcome to be in every area of your life. This is especially true with your business.
