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 by the 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. To be 'successful' in your business marketing efforts you must set, realistic, obtainable goals. You must measure your success by how close you come to achieving the goals you set for yourself based on your abilities and skills. In successfully marketing your online business you must be willing to invest the time it takes to research and learn all you can about the marketplace. You must not believe the hype, the overblown promises of immediate success. The truth is, most overnight successes were months or years in the making. Fortunately, many of the online marketing professionals (or gurus) are willing to share their experiences and allow novices to benefit from their experience. Who do I listen to? You may ask.

Chinese Gooseberries and Oprah? Oprah and Harpo Productions, consistently reap awe-inspiring progress and record-breaking profits even after 25 years.

Risking For Success Everything we do in life involves risk. There's no growth of any kind without risk. We start running risks when we get out of bed in the morning.

Creating Meaningful Success 'No man is an island' the saying goes. The implication is that humans cannot exist alone. I would take the island aphorism a step further and contend that no one can be successful alone. Merely existing day-to-day is not enough. Success must be an essential part of our lives. Individual success builds our personal power, increases joy & fulfillment and grows a strong sense of self-esteem. Regardless of how we define our individual idea of success, it is impossible to manifest that desired outcome alone. Fortunately, women are collaborative by nature. We work well on teams and in efforts for the benefit of others. So why is it so difficult for us to act on behalf of ourselves?
