Well have you thought about this? If not, why not?

If you have clearly defined written goals than the process probably lead you down the path towards the following question.

What am I trying to accomplish?

Here's Success, by definition, Webster's style;

success   1. favorable result   2. the gaining of wealth, fame

Personally, I'm okay with the first one, but have some issues with the second.

Let's try some questions;

If you reach your financial goals, but have problems with your spouse or children, will you consider yourself successful?

Please give that some serious thought!

If you reach your financial goals, but ignore your health, and feel poorly, are you successful?

If you reach your financial goals, but haven't had any time off to enjoy it, are you successful?

These types of questions are endless and I could go on forever, but won't.

Is that applause I hear?

When you're working on your goals for 2010,   STOP and THINK,   what would I consider a successful year?

Is it JUST about business?

I think, not.

So take some quiet time, if you're in Southwest Florida, try walking on the beach. If you're in upstate NH, try sitting in front of a quiet fire in the fireplace.

Alone, and Think

How do I measure success?

Then develop a plan, follow it, and

Be successful in 2010.
