Set Your Goals by Your Own Vision of Success

If there’s one thing that you and I have in common, it’s that we both strive for success. Whether it’s success from a business, in providing for our families or adding to our bank accounts, there’s any number of ways we can measure our success. The reality is, however, that society has come up with a measurement of success that usually comes along with a fat paycheck, luxury automobile and a spacious home with stunning views. Now sure, all those things are fine and dandy, but are they really your definition of success? Perhaps they are; perhaps they aren’t.

You see, finding success in business and life isn’t always so clear cut, and in order to ensure you realize your definition of success, you have to determine who you are.

Let me explain. There are all kinds of great jobs out there and all kinds of way to run a business — the key is finding which one suits you the best. Are you someone who is looking for a prestigious job, willing to put in 14-hour days to say you work for a certain company and earn a hefty paycheck? I mean, sure, it may feel good to see your name share space with a prestigious company on your business card while cashing those big checks every week, but what about the rest of your life? Perhaps you love the intensity and atmosphere of a high-profile job at a high-profile company, and nothing brings you more satisfaction than performing under pressure. For some, working for someone else is a great form of motivation and leads to the great feeling of success and accomplishment.

Maybe you’re not working for someone else, but run your own business — or at least want to. Well, before you do, you’ll also have to figure out what your expectations and ideas of success are. For instance, you may have aspirations to start an accounting company that eventually competes on a national scale. You’re aware that you’ll have to start small, but through hard work, endless hours and at times stretching every dollar as far as it can go in the growth process, it will all pay off and one day you’ll have the empire you desire.

On the other hand, you may not be looking for long hours with your own business. Instead, you’re looking to run a business where you work when you want, build a client base to a certain level where you make a comfortable income and can spend a substantial amount of time enjoying the other parts of your life. Maybe your goals aren’t about national prestige, recognition or having a business empire. You don’t want to worry about taking an afternoon off to go watch a baseball game or play a round of golf.

The point is that your success in business depends heavily on who you are and what you’re looking to achieve. Your business is a part of your life, so it should fall within the lifestyle goals you have for yourself. If you can avoid getting caught up in preconceived notions of success, you may be able to get the fulfillment out of your business — and life — that you’re looking for.
